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.
Juts is charming. It was well worth our time to have such a delightful guide. We learned a lot about Hamburg and we would recommend the tour to anyone.
Our guide was fantastic and we really appreciated her deep knowledge about the history of Hamburg. We saw the town with other eyes after the tour!
Thank you very much. It was a pleasure being with interested guests.
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.
A phenomenal experience thanks to the help of Gabriel, the guide of sandemans who explained everything very well, I highly recommend.
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.
Muchissimas gracias
Our guide had a huge knowledge about the district and she knew how to make it interesting for everybody. An extremely nice tour. I can easily recommend this trip and guide.
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.
Vielen Dank für das Feedback, wir besprechen das mit der Stadtführerin. Ihr Feedback hilft uns sehr, unsere Touren zu verbessern.
Great interesting guided tour Speicherstadt and Elb Philharmonie very entertaining and entertaining at the end we still drove the new electric bus Moia
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!
