Great tour - Had a fantastic tour with Lucas as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and made it all enjoyable. Saw some sights we probably wouldn't have known to do on our own

WORTH IT ! - An excellent tour of the history of the City Centre. We had only the day in Hamburg, so it made sense to use it by receiving good local info, rather than simply wandering around. Savvy was an excellent guide. He clearly had a grasp of his subject and delivered his tour in a clear, and often humorous way. We learnt a lot. The walk was for a period of 2 hours and covered a couple of kilometres or so, so easily doable with basic fitness, although it finishes in a different place to the start. This particular tour did not take in any of The Beatles history ( they do another tour for that). It is a "pay as you feel" which seemed very fair. Altogether, a positive experience from a tour guide on top of his subject. Thank you.

A great way to start a visit to Hamburg - We had Savvy as Guide and he gave us an excellent tour of Hamburg's older districts with just enough information. You got good tips on places to visit that you could return to.
