Highlights
  • Energiebunker Wilhelmsburg - The energy bunker in Wilhelmsburg is an impressive example of sustainable urban development. Originally built as a World War II bunker, it has become a symbol of change and the energy transition. Today it houses an innovative power generation facility that uses renewable energy.

The energy bunker produces electricity and heat from solar energy and biomass. There are solar panels on its roof that generate clean electricity. In addition, biomass is burned in a combined heat and power plant to generate additional energy. This sustainable energy supply covers part of the needs of the surrounding buildings and contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions.

The bunker itself has been transformed into an architectural masterpiece.

Positive and perfect! - It was a company outing back then (summer 2016) and it was more than a success. Everything was tailored to our wishes. Simply perfect and unforgettable. All colleagues were absolutely thrilled. Some of them later went on a private trip with Waterkant Tours. The guys and girls were absolutely brilliant. I can't even tell you how many times I've told friends and acquaintances about the tour. Reading that the startup at the time has now had to file for bankruptcy really hurts my soul. You can see that in the reviews. Since then, there have only been negative reviews. Of course, I completely understand those who booked when they don't see their money again. Oh man, all in all, that's extremely unpleasant and I'm so sorry. The idea was brilliant back then and the implementation was successful. Maybe there will be a bright spot on the horizon in the future and an opportunity will arise to revive this company..? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for everyone, both the guys and girls from Waterkant Tours and those who have to experience anything but that instead of a great tour. Well, we are all living in difficult times and it can happen to anyone, except those whose pockets are full. Let's be aware of that. All the best to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great city tour through the south of Hamburg! - Super great tour through the south of Hamburg, including areas that aren't included in other sightseeing tours! Our guide was really great, explained a lot and also showed us a few things that weren't actually included in the tour. We would do it again and again!

Great tour through Hamburg - I really enjoyed the tour. Wolle explained the individual sights in a very pleasant way. The weather was good and I got to know some new parts of Hamburg. The retro bus is comfortable, the atmosphere with 3 other people was great. The meeting point at U4 station was interesting because Wolle had some explanations about the station ready. The Bulli tour then started at Lohsepark through streets and parts of Hamburg that you don't normally drive through very often. Here are some impressions from a selection of many pictures

On a discovery tour with “Jette” - Dear Waterkant team, we will remember this trip very fondly. Although it was not our first time in Hamburg, we were able to gather many new and beautiful impressions. Exciting information about the Speicherstadt, the city planning/Hafencity, the largest Hamburg district Wilhelmsburg, and also the panoramic view from the energy bunker, very impressive! Jette and her driver/our guide definitely did their best! Lots of information on a relaxed road trip. Drink, smoke and pee breaks were optimally integrated into the tour program. After passing through the old Elbe tunnel, there was a detour to Övelgönne (museum harbor), and we also touched on the Haifischbar and the Schellfischposten (Inas Nacht). We are happy to recommend this cult city tour of a special kind! A warm hello, from the 4 North Frisians Vera, Frank, Carmen and Bernd

Interesting and compact articles. - We are from Hamburg and still learned a lot of new things about our city. During the journey, the driver should speak into a microphone.

Absolute flop - keep your hands off this provider! - I booked this tour as a team outing for our department in December. We had to pay €550 in advance in September. On the day of the event itself, the tour was cancelled in the morning by the organiser, allegedly due to a lack of staff due to illness. Since then, we have been chasing our money in vain. All of our inquiries in this regard have simply been ignored and no one can be reached by phone. As the comments of other users show, this business practice is not that unusual at Waterkant-Tours. I strongly advise caution: the start-up company that appears to be so hip, modern and friendly on its website is not a reputable provider - just keep your hands off it!

Never again - no cooperation/communication with the organizer possible after cancellation - The Waterkant Tour was canceled at short notice by the organizer on the day of the event (December 1st, 2023) due to illness. This was supposed to be a company Christmas party. We could decide whether we wanted to postpone the tour or have the costs reimbursed. We decided to have the costs reimbursed. We are still waiting for the reimbursement. Direct communication is not possible, and there has been no response to our inquiries about where the money is. We have already threatened to get a lawyer. Even then, nothing has happened. It's a shame, because we were really looking forward to a Christmas tour through the Hafencity. As in some other reviews, there are apparently always problems with reimbursement when a tour is canceled.
