We strolling by our selves and family in hamburg. Such a wonderful city!
Leo was a fantastic guide, he was native to Hamburg, his English was good, and he was very knowledgeable. One of the best, his historical knowledge was great. Hamburg is beautiful. Leo was very nice and helpful.
A great introduction to the city. When you don't know where to start, this tour gives you a good sense of what to see and go back to. About 2 hours long. Very informative.
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 :-)

a lot of information about Hamburg and its history; Matej was a good guide
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.
Hi, Thank you so much for the lovely five-star review! We are so glad to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed the walk, appreciated the insight into Hamburg, and found our English-speaking guide to be so approachable for questions. We always aim to keep our tours at a comfortable pace with a nice little break in the middle, so it's wonderful to know that worked well for you. Also, a huge thank you for the excellent advice about the walking shoes! Those historic Hamburg cobblestones can definitely surprise your feet, so your tip will be super helpful for future travelers.
