    The comments from the guide were really funny and interesting at the same time. Was very worthwhile. Despite the missed trip at 3 p.m., we were able to join the trip at 4 p.m. without any problems. It's worth it if you haven't sailed through the port of Hamburg before

    Unfortunately, I also missed the guide on this trip... At least booking through GyG was always 2 to 3 euros cheaper than on site. Also on this trip you had to be there much earlier if you wanted to sit upstairs. We were there about 45 minutes before departure and it was already quite full. Prices for drinks on board quite expensive.

    Being there early is a must if you have never been to Hamburg or the Landungsbrücken. There are a few providers on site and it is worth checking twice to see if you are with the right provider. The captain was very nice, relaxed and showered us with information. WE RECOMMEND
