I really enjoyed the 1.5h Cruise in Hamburg! Even though I'm a native and I mainly booked it for my boyfriend (long distance), I was fascinated myself how many different facets the city has to offer. Since the tour is in the evening, you can see thousands of lights all over the harbour. Plus, we saw the moon which added a romantic touch to the atmosphere ;) The guide himself knew a lot about the harbour so he was able to share a lot of information. He was regularly paying attention to questions from his audience as well. Regarding that aspect only, it was definitely worth the money...thinking about the wonderful atmosphere we were in though, I could imagine paying even more. From time to time, when the guide took a short break from speaking, it was calm and you could hear the waves hitting our boat from outside. Me and my boyfriend loved that experience and we're already planning to book that tour again! I seriously recommend this cruise, it is better than any other I've tried, enjoy!
