Funny, interesting and great coverage tour - Leo was very informative and funny. The itinerary was very interesting and I’d say it covers a great part of Hamburg in case you don’t have enough time to visit and know Hamburg.

Great Hamburg Walking Tour - This was a great tour! Nice, easy to find meet up location in central Hamburg. We arrived early so we had some time to explore the City Hall area prior to starting the tour which was very nice. We had Lina as the guide and she was wonderful. She covers a lot of ground in 2 hours, it hit all of the places that one would want to see if they had limited time in the city as we did. I did have ample time to take many photos during the tour which was nice. Thank you!

Learned about Hamburg's history and had a lot of fun with tour guide Lina - We have visited multiple historic locations in Hamburg City center and Speicherstadt, learned about its history and laughed at jokes together with the amazing tour guide Lina. Time went so fast, that we were a little disappointed at the end that the 2 hours long tour was already over 😃 I would absolutely recommend the tour to everyone who enjoys visiting new cities and getting to know their history 😍
