Great ambience and the host/captain was also a professional entertainer. Unfortunately it was in German only. But I still enjoyed the whole experience.
Surprised how interesting this tour would be because it also delved into the history and modern day mechanics of a large operational harbor. We were able to see parts of Hamburg that would be much harder to access on land. And as a bonus the guide's voice and dictation over the speaker was incredible. Would highly recommend this tour!
