Loved everything about the tour. We were 3 Americans and 1 Deutche, and it would have been nice for an option to hear English. But overall it really didn't matter. It was an amazing tour and I would gladly go on it again. One of our party has a bit of trouble walking though, and we should have looked at a harbor map to see how far from the port entrance your dock is. I don't know if it's possible, but a rental wheelchair would have made this experience easier, just to get to the ship. My German aunt is a trooper though, and did not complain a bit. She was thrilled by the tour as well, and very proud of her city!!! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!

Full description

Enjoy the unique maritime flair and colorful crowds at the Port of Hamburg on this daily cruise that loops the docks. Thanks to your guide, learn about the history of the port and the city and take an exciting ride through the locks. Discover this gateway to the world up-close onboard a little ship, equally suited to a fleet. Find out just how huge the Port of Hamburg, the second-largest port in Europe, is. Hardly another city in the world is so tied to its port; Hamburg truly developed because of it. The most important sights and the skyline are inextricably linked to it. Experience the contrast between past and present, commerce and culture, the little fishing town along the Elbe, and the state-of-the-art container complexes. You'll also learn about the sinful stretches and fish market, old cutters, and massive cruise and container ships. Our onboard guide provides live commentary in German. For commentary in other languages, please download the 'Rainer Abicht' app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The app offers audio tours of the harbor cruise in six different languages.
