Priceless experience for a solo traveler or group
I can’t recommend this tour enough—it was such a worthwhile investment! So many of the places we visited were close to where I was staying, yet I had no idea they were there or knew the fascinating history behind them. Although it was a walking tour, the pace was very comfortable, and I never felt tired or rushed.
Evan was knowledgeable, engaging, and a fantastic storyteller. He also shared useful recommendations that helped me make the most of the rest of my time in Hamburg. A great experience from start to finish!
Operator response
Thank you so much for such a positive review.
Its always a big compliment to hear a guest had a good time on a tour with me. I can only give the compliment right back and say I couldn't of asked for a better guest. You brought such good vibes and energy that my job was super easy. I am sure you are going to have a great week in Hamburg and hope you get to explore even more!
Hope to see you back on a tour again sometime. All the best, Evan :-)

Don’t miss out on this tour!
We could have explored Hamburg on our own, but are very glad we didn’t. We would have missed so much! Evan was a terrific guide—very personable and informative. He gave us the perfect amount of information—neither too little nor too much. The pace of the tour was great. Highly recommended.
Operator response
It's great to read such a thoughtful review. I had a great time showing you around and hope to see you all back in the city the next time you make it back over from Utah. Enjoy your cruise and keep safe and well. Thanks for the 5- stars!

Wonderfull tour through Hamburg
Evan guided us through Hamburg during a 2 hour walking tour. We visited the highlights for a good general view of Hamburg throughout time. On each stop Evan told us in a very enthousiastic and animated way about the site. We were a group of adults and teens and each one of us enjoyed it. We especially appreciated that the tour was adjustable to our likes and questions. And the little gems you showed us along the way that you would normally mis as a tourist. In advance there was already a warm and very clear communication with an excellent follow-up. Thank you for showing is the city that you clearly love very much.
Operator response
It's such a pleasure to read such a positive review and hear how much you all enjoyed the tour. I can only say the same from my side that you guys were a great group to explore the city with and that I would be happy to have you back any time!
I hope you had a great time in both Hamburg and on the rollercoasters of Heidepark the next day!

Excellent Altona Walking Tour
Our group had an amazing morning wandering through Altona with Evan, one of the best guides I've ever met. During my student years I did some guiding myself and I know from experience how challenging this job can be, but Evan is so professional, knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time that he guides you with ease through the important historical facts masterly blending them into everyday life of the visiting area. You can sense the connection between the present and the past in such an informative and fun way - he makes sure to add many interesting details so that you can follow the tour without feeling of being overwhelmed. At the end, you are left with a thought how amazing it would be to visit another part of the town in the same way! I'm so looking forward to our group tours lined up with Evan in the near future..
Operator response
Thank you so much for this wonderful review—it truly means a lot, especially coming from a fellow guide. I know how challenging this job can be, so your kind words about my professionalism and approach really touched me. I'm so glad you enjoyed the balance of history and everyday life in Altona, and that the tour left you wanting to explore more. That's the best compliment I could ask for. I'm looking forward to our next tours together! See you all soon :-)
