Walking Tour of Hamburg …. Brilliant! - Kalvin provided detailed history & local knowledge on this walking tour. We particularly enjoyed listening to the bells of St Michael’s Church, walking through the Oldest Street in Hamburg (of which we returned to) and the various places of interest visited. Kelvin also suggested different places to eat & knowledge of the port area of Hamburg. Kalvin has a great personality.

Good introductory tour to the city. - I had a two-hour tour with Savvy. He is a great guide, very lively and funny. He knows a lot of facts about the history of the city, and can also give some advice for tourists. Ask him questions, he loves it.

Excellent walking tour of Hamburg - We did a 2 hour walking tour with Victor. It covered the main sites in central Hamburg. He was very engaging and funny, with lots of historical facts and with some of his own observations about war and peace, coffee and beer. I fully recommend this tour.

Great Tour - It was a great walking tour. Learned a lot, even though it was our 4th time to Hamburg.
Guide recommended Cafe Norde, so we did get coffee there the next day. It was good, until I finished it and went to throw out my cup, and there was a hair in it....

fun and informative - Our tour guide was called Victor and he was very enthusiastic when retelling the history of how Hamburg came to be. He told us lots of interesting information about where to eat, what to visit and it was overall a very fun and enjoyable visit. We went on two different tours with Victor and both times were fun and filled with interesting facts.
