Worth seeing - We saw a lot and felt very comfortable with our tour guide. We as a family have learned a lot about the building and its origins. Be sure to look at it when you are in Hamburg.

Very informative - Very interesting to hear more about the background of the building etc., as a group you came to the Plaza without queuing and then had time to explore everything yourself

All in all a nice experience! - Spectacular construction and views, immediately found parking in the parking garage, friendly and helpful staff, all clean and tidy, great acoustics, good signage,- so far for the positive.......Unfortunately salted prices in the parking garage, and worst of all, the seats are mega uncomfortable(meant also a neighbor), and the legroom----- floor 16 area V ---is far too tight (thrombosis danger :-) !! Stronger light effects would be helpful to underline the atmosphere. But the concert was very nice, visit is repeated, despite everything!! C.J. and D.M., on 2.9.2024

You can do it - but don't expect too much - Unfortunately, we were all a little disappointed with the tour guide. We booked the tour at 3:00 p.m. and were a little lost as far as the meeting point (bakery shop) was concerned. We couldn't find it straight away. Then we got a call at 3:01 p.m. from the gentleman who was extremely unfriendly and annoyed. I said that I would enter the address from the email and that we would be there in 2 minutes. The address led us to the RTL building. When we were standing in front of it, I called the gentleman again who again annoyedly told me that we should go to the other side of the street and upstream, we must see him because he had a RED BACKPACK. He didn't have that, but a shoulder bag. During the tour everything was hectic and he was absolutely not customer-oriented. He kept turning away when he spoke, so that you couldn't really understand him. Nevertheless, we thought the content, what you could understand, was great. Entry to the Elbphilharmonie was also quick and flawless. The view was great and we were really lucky with the weather.

Poor building poor tour - We spent most of our hour of visit outside the building listening to the guide telling us about everything that went wrong during the whole design, build and start-up of the building. When we finally went in, there was an escalator taking us to the gallery level. The guide added a few words and then ended his tour leaving us at the coffee shop of the building. We had not seen the main target of our trip: the concert hall. We left disappointed: not only about what we had seen as a result of the Swiss Architectural work (an oversized megablock of a building lacking the necessary artistic appeal) but even more about the overpriced "tour" which gave us hardly any information about the building.
