We booked to go on the Tour and turned up about 2o minutes before the schuduled time. Other people arrived and we figured there was German speaking group and and English speaking group. The german gude arrived but no English Guide. At about 10 minutes after the start time I sent and email and then approach the German guide and to ask him what was happening. He phoned the booking company and got to speak to a girl. First she said we arrived too late and then changed her response that we booked too late. I said we booked two days ago, so she said it was canclled because there was not enough guests. But there were 7 people waiting. She that said we could do the tour the next day, but 5 of the 7 said they could not do so I asked her for a guarantee that it woul go ahead. So we turned up the next day and did the tour with just 3 guests. While the tour was good and informative the booking company is just plain shonky.

I was in Hamburg with my parents for my mum’s birthday trip and we took part in the 2 hour German tour of Hamburg City and Speicherstadt led by Martin. I had researched this free walking tour in advance and hoped it would be good. As it turned out, it was not ‘just’ good, it was fantastic – in fact, it was the highlight of our weekend. Martin was very knowledgeable and truly a born storyteller. He brought the city’s history to life with his captivating anecdotes and wealth of insight and knowledge. He raised very interesting topics linking the past with the present and leaving the audience with food for thought on several issues. I cannot recommend Martin highly enough – best tour I have ever taken part in!

Our group of 9 people took the St. Pauli tour at 23 o'clock on a Friday night. All of us were very excited, and I would definitely recommend. Our guide, Kai, was exceptional! He was truely a local and gave us an honest and very inspiring impression of the city. We ended up in an area full of bars perfect for continuing our night out. Thank you Kai, for a great experience!

It was really excellent that we could split the two activities over two days, as there was now time left to do the boat trip when we got back from the hop-on hop-off bus trip. We tend to use the bus as one trip, in order to gain an overview of the whole city. We rarely tend to use the bus more than once. Hamburg was great and the bus was great too.

We didn't know what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. Even though we booked a tour in English despite it being in German, this was not a problem, although this situation wouldn't suit everyone. It was down to Henning's great musical skill and his inclusivity that made it a memorable experience.
