Good City Tour & Boat Tour - Everything was great, guide explained things in English to us. Boat tour was good but we took the one in German because of scheduling/time. One thing is I thought the boat tour took us to speicherstadt but they don’t.

Was hoping for a bit more - The meeting point instructions and explanation of the overall schedule was TERRIBLE! After 45 minutes of searching for our meeting point, we boarded our bus but was disappointed as we had a difficult time hearing and understanding our driver. The boat tour of the Hamburg port was actually very nice and relaxing. Additionally, the tour required a printed ticket. We had been traveling with no access to a printer which posed yet another challenge for this tour. Would suggest skipping this bus tour and book a smaller group tour to learn and see more of Hamburg.

Only info in German. - Ok if you just want to see the harbor from sea level. If you are not fluent in German just forget it. There is NO information in English. The skipper only speaks in German ... and by the looks of it it was funny for the German guests.

Hamburg Hop on Hop Bus - Very nice people, but they only give the live commentary in German. It must have been a good tour because the Germans were making appreciative noises! The audio plug in earphones commentary they give in English is rubbish. Little information, awful music when there's no commentary, and not necessarily talking about the area where the bus actually is.
