I went on this tour with my 3 children (13-17) and my mother (83) and can only recommend it. Our tour guide (Klaus) made the tour fun and informative at the same time. He answered all the questions and spoke very loudly and clearly. Everyone was thrilled at the end.

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

Very nice professional guide, the gentleman told us a lot of interesting and interesting facts about Hamburg. Rarely has it been so much fun to listen to a tour guide. "The Dammtor station was built in 1904..." something even stuck 😉

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.

Condensed, but very well conveyed impression of the main sights of the port and the Speicherstadt; the accompanying verbal explanations of the "tour guide" were presented in a relaxed, funny and very informative way.
