Hamburg by boat - Tour in german but there's an app for audio in english. Worked well and saw pretty much all of the water sights of the city.

Amazing walk, worth it. - The ride is amazing! It was super worth it. For those who choose the audio guide, there is a QR Code at the entrance of the boat and it is necessary to download an app. Look right at the entrance, if not, the tour begins with the audio in discompass with the location. The boat goes very close to the ships and port assemblies, it's amazing!

For ship lovers - The first hour or so of this tour takes you through the container ship port and cruise port in Hamburg. Fine if you are interested in that, but the content was all a bit maritime heavy. The second part of the tour through the city was more interesting, and I think is the main focus if you take the shorter tours. Unless you're into ships, I'd recommend the shorter 1 hours tours instead.

Comic pricing - Very nice tour, however, the prices are probably rolled. I paid an amount on the spot that is not even reflected in the price list, namely 8 euros more than the excellent one. How they get the price is not clear to me. I didn't realize until after that From there: Keep your eyes open when buying tickets

For an English tourist? Not so good - I should start by saying that I am English tourist, so I'm not sure whether something like this is necessarily aimed at me. If you speak German and have an interest in ships and harbours I'm sure it was very comprehensive, but as someone who doesn't speak German I was a little left in the dark. When I booked I was told I could download the app and there was an English guide, but this was clunky and hard to follow. It wasn't clear if you were supposed to run the guide yourself and there were often times where we passed a sight fully before the audio was finished. So again, take this review with a pinch of salt, but I think just a little more communication and what to expect could be given at time of booking, especially if you're sat on a boat for 2 hours.
