The tour was made even more special by Jutta! - Our guide Jutta was amazing!! Very funny, knowledgeable and good company. She educated us on the history of Hamburg, with some random facts and stories thrown in too which were very well received. The whole group had a fantastic time and I would definitely do it again.

Guided tour of the Speicherstadt and Elbphilharmonie - Unfortunately, the tour lacked a bit of sparkling and entertainingness. It was repeated a lot and in the end it was over 2 1/2 hours that could not be followed from the attention, because it was just too monotonous from the point of view of the lecture. The Speicherstadt is beautiful, but you don't have to emphasize every stone. All in all, the Führerin tried very hard, but also had a very quiet voice. I think you could make the leadership more interesting with a little more esprit.

Simply awesome - it doesn't get any better - Mrs. Hülsmann has read my family every wish from Den Augen. She was not only well informed, but also perfectly prepared for any question. The tour was very varied! In the end, she even organized a joyride with a new electric bus through Hamburg. Highly recommended!

A must see - The Old Elb Tunnel is being renovated but still open to visitors. A magnificent view down the 1,200 meter tunnel and a feeling of amazing construction work when I walk up and down. The people at the elevators are friendly and helpful.

Very pleasant route between canals and old warehouses. - It is a very pleasant route through which run countless buildings that were formerly warehouses. It is now considered the largest wood-piled warehouse district in Germany. At the end of the tour we arrive at the Elbe Philharmonic, an explosion of unique architecture. It is a combination of an old warehouse with a modern glazed building.
