Lively, engaging, insightful - The tour guide Savvy was amazing, so knowledgeable and brought so much energy! Was great to do early on in our stay to see the main sights, get our bearings and some great recommendations from Savvy to enjoy while still in Hamburg!

Great introduction to the city - I took this small group tour with Kalvin as our guide. He was friendly and enthusiastic, providing information about both historical and modern-day Hamburg. He also gave us food recommendations and listed places to visit. His sense of humor made the tour fun. There is a moderate amount of walking on the tour. I highly recommend the tour to anyone who is looking for an introduction to the city.

Good orientation and history - It’s always nice to learn about a city through a walking tour. It gives you an orientation of the city and its history, so for the rest of your time there you have a better understanding. This tour with Matej did just that. He gave us history and insight and ideas of what else we can see and do while we were in Hamburg. I’ve done a lot of walking tours, some great, some not so great, this was average, but having said that, I think the guide did the best with what he had to work with, Hamburg is not the most exciting town I’ve been to.

Informative but too big - I really enjoyed our walk around Hamburg with Savvy - he was super enthusiastic and hyper and despite the weather this ensured everyone was upbeat. He was knowledgeable and audible. Only issue for me was that there were a lot of people - he didn’t check people in and we lost some along the way. Learnt a lot and really pleased I booked.
