The ride itself was okay - the speaker was not always easy to understand - finding the departure point was time-consuming, cumbersome - a cheek

Enjoyed the boat tour, but the cruise that included the Speicherstadt, although booked, was not there and we had to take the cruise that included Blankeneese. Interesting, but it was not the one we chose.

It's a shame we didn't have an audio guide as soon as we got on the boat. The guide spoke only in German, which sounded very interesting and funny, but far too fast for people who don't speak the language... It's even more of a shame that the discovery of the city and port was visually brilliant.

The captain commented on the tour in an informative and very humorous way, we saw and learned a lot. He obviously enjoyed his job and knew a lot about the port of Hamburg. Great!

There could have been a bit more narrative. The tour was meant to be a bit of fun, of course, but a little more information would have been nice.
