Excellent walking tour of Hamburg - I did this tour with Bob, my tour guide during a winter in Hamburg with one of the heaviest snowfalls. We started with the Jungfernstieg area looking at belle epoque architecture and the WW1 monument for the 40,000 sons. We moved on to the Rathaus (city hall) and then St Nicholas church. Bob is very knowledgeable of Hamburg's history and the tour was at a good pace. We carried on to the Deichstraße, and covered the great fire and then over to the Speicherstadt and Elbphilharmonie concert building. I would highly recommend this tour for an overview of the sights of Hamburg and its history. Bob was an excellent tour guide.

Great, friendly small group tour with Bob - Bob was a great guide. Informative and relaxed. Saw lots of things I'd never seen before in HH. Three hours slipped by! Also great on recommendations for other things to do in Hamburg which was really helpful.

Too long - The tour with Bob was scheduled to last 2 1/2 hours - it in fact lasted 4 hours 10 45 to 14 45. It was a freezing cold day ( not Bob’s fault of course) but regardless of the weather, no tour should last longer than 2 1/2 hours - people can’t hold their interest any longer. Bob was knowledgeable but needed to be more focussed. We could also have walked faster! Sorry Bob - an interesting tour but too long.
