What to bring

  • Trips take place every day (except Christmas)
  • Tours to the Speicherstadt (warehouse district) are dependent on the water levels. It is not possible to cruise through the narrow waterways during high and low water levels
  • An audio app with commentary in English can be downloaded once the tour is booked
  • Since the route depends on the tide, it is the decision of the ship's master whether the tour can go-ahead

While the ride was good & the views of the Port of this magnificent city from the water was awesome, the guide spoke only German & nin-stop chatter! There was not a moment of silence to allow us to take in the views! There was no proper English audio to even understand what was happening. Drinks took a long time to arrive & even tap water which they said was not available on board was ridiculously charged for. Only because of the beauty of the overall settings of Hamburg this was fine. Wonder if one has any other choice however. Do it & see & decide for yourself! Cheers

Though the tour guide doesn’t speak English, it was still an enjoyable tour. The app doesn’t give as much info as the tour guide it felt like but it felt satisfactory for me. If you have someone who can translate for you, it’s probably be even more so. But almost no boat tours here are in English so this is a good middle.

Beautiful views, great price. But just FYI, if you don’t speak German there’s an app to download for your preferred language. But the app only tells you about certain locations, and the tour guide was speaking in German the entire time and giving great stories. Even though I don’t speak German I took my headphones out after a while to try and join in on the jokes! The tour guide seemed very knowledgeable and entertaining, I just wish the app was giving more information.
