Interesting design and I would gladly do it again! - We did the tour with Lukas and were completely satisfied. He engaged with the group and answered every question that arose promptly. He could tell a story and the historical background about every point of the tour. Moreover, it was very entertaining. In the end, he recommended us an excellent local restaurant. We are very glad that we discovered this tour :-)

Lovely walking tour. - Lovely walking tour with a small group and Guide who provided a good insight to Hamburg. The walk is about two hours with a 15-20 minute break is completed a decent pace. Wear a decent pair of walking shoes as some of street have cobble stones and can be uneven. The Guide (English Speaking) was very approachable to answer questions. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk and would recommend.
