Wonderful City Tour - This was one of the most energetic tours we have ever been on. Savvy was a wonderful tour guide and clearly offers great enthusiasm for his city. The tour was not at all rushed and provided the right amount of time and the right amount of detail on Hamburg. This was a perfect way to see the city and understand its history.

Insightful and interesting tour of the city of Hamburg - Savvy met us and guided our tour. A high energy, engaging and humorous gentleman who ensured all questions were answered and who shared his knowledge and love for the city of Hamburg. Useful tips on other things to do/visit, kept to schedule and made it fun despite a cool and drizzly start to the weather. Thank you Savvy!

Informative and enjoyable Hamburg Tour with Kalvin! - Very informative tour led by the experienced guide Kalvin. He was very knowledgeable about Hamburg's history and added joviality and humour over the 2 hours. The tour ended by Kalvin sharing attractions and food/bar/brewery recommendations on Google Maps as well as top local tips. Much appreciated. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Loud, clear, funny, experienced and tips, tips, tips - We enjoyed the historical tour with Savy. I have previously participated in walking tours with this organization in other countries and the experience has always been great! Savy spoke loud and clear, his English is excellent and shares all kinds of useful and fun tips. Highly recommended at the start of your trip. As an experienced guide, he was even able to tempt us to take a second walking tour with him, two days later through 'the red light district'. That probably says enough. One star less due to the high walking pace of the second tour.
