Very good tour, especially for people like me at the moment who are not so mobile or who have difficulty walking. Everything is explained well and in an entertaining way over the loudspeaker. And when the "voice" takes a break, the bus driver (in my case Klaus) tells a few anecdotes. I liked it and would go again.

Excellent tour showing us all the sights of Hamburg. The only slight problem was finding where the bus started from after we got dropped off by the large lake in centre of city. Could have done with an information board.

the whole exp is great and my daughter was able to follow eventhough she is not fluent in German

You have seen the most important points of Hamburg. Driver was very nice.

Excellent way to go around the city and learn more about this fun city
