Deniz was an outstanding guide and host. He met me at our hotel and took me on a walking tour that was perfectly planned. He treated me like a friend rather than a guest and he was very knowledgeable about Hamburg and it's history. I would recommend Deniz as a guide for anyone wanting to truly appreciate Hamburg. This was a great tour!

This is a must-do tour for anyone interested in the history of the warehouse district. Dave took the time to explain the importance of the key buildings with important historical anecdotes. We ended our tour in a beer beer hall for a drink and some wurst.

My guide Ralf was awesome. His knowledge of the history of Hamburg was amazing and he was great at answering questions and educating me about Hamburg. I feel like I had a Uni course! He has a great sense of humor and is quite engaging, which made the 4 hours fly by. boo this tour- it's well worth it.

It’s not every day you get to feel like you’re in a university course, but with Ralf’s expertise and engaging personality, it sounds like you got the best of both worlds! We're so glad you had a fantastic time, and we hope you’ll keep this tour in mind for future adventures.

I had great time with my local guide, Cem. He knows the city and a lot of places that you, alone, never would see. For me, the tourist feel as a local is the great goal of any trip.

We're thrilled to hear you had a wonderful time with Cem, your local guide! It's fantastic that he was able to provide you with insights and take you to places off the beaten path, allowing you to experience the city like a local. Achieving that sense of immersion is indeed the ultimate goal of any trip. Thank you for sharing your positive experience!"
