We were very lucky that Hamburg, for once, showed itself from its most beautiful sunny side, and was even dressed up for Christmas! The trip was a great experience for us as Hamburgers - to rediscover our own city in a relaxed way with "tourist eyes", accompanied by interesting historical and current information "from the tape" and enriched with very humorous additions from the dedicated bus driver Christian. We had a lot of fun and can warmly recommend this little break from everyday life.View original review in German

The driver didn't just play the audio texts, but added his own information. We were really lucky with the driverView original review in GermanJurriaan

The employee at the ticket office at the St. Pauli-Landungsbrücken was very unfriendly, not helpful and spoke very poor English. I had a ticket on my mobile for the bus and the canal cruise. Very unclear whether that meant I could get on the bus directly and/or take the boat. Unclear which boat we had to have for the canal cruise. Strange that there is no app / mobile website with the route. There is only a PDF to download. Very unclear where exactly the stops are. Why is there no audio guide in Dutch and in Swiss? We were unlucky that due to strikes half the day was not driven. This was announced but made for a hasty tour of the city (did not get off).View original review in Dutch
