Ask for Kelvin! Great Tour!
Ask for Kelvin Brooks! This was one of the best, if not the BEST tour I have ever been on, and I have been on too many to count. Kelvin is an amazing tour guide, knowledgeable, accommodating, and his English is excellent. Tour was full of great and very accurate history information, and enjoyed every minute. Worth the trip to Hamburg just for the tour! It was an affordable tour, book in advance it is extremely popular, but book it directly on Mion site, travel sites add additional cost.
