It was a beautiful tour the only problem was that it was in German, I was not advised that apparently I needed to download some type of app or link in my phone for another language so I just enjoyed the view of the beautiful Hamburg without understanding a word from the Captain but my friend that speaks German, told me that it was very good.
What a terrible tour. You don’t go down the canal past all the beautiful buildings you see all the shipping containers. What a waste of time and money DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR
Was an interesting tour and saw a lot. Main negative is that it took 1 hour 45 minutes vs the advertised 1 hour which then threw out all our other reservations for the day
It’s a real problem that you have no control over whether you travel into the Speicherstadt on these tours. It’s why most people want to take the boat. They book two fundamentally different tours on the same ticket and it’s up to them which one you go on. We quite specifically prebooked for high tide and were told that we had to wait two hours for a Speicherstadt boat. 30 mins, 60mins fine. But on a tourist trip you can’t just wait two hours. Wouldn’t recommend.
Not the best experience. Advertised with English commentary available…..it was not. Not a big problem for me but my partner can’t speak a word of German. The tour otherwise started well going around the canals of Hamburg which are really pretty. This lasted about 20 minutes and then the rest of the tour was going around the industrial docks looking at shipping containers. Not exactly what I want to look at when I’m away.
Great trip! There are English speaking options for audio, however it quit working half way through the tour.
Great positioned captain who made the trip an unforgettable experience
Very Gutenberg tour. Lots of info.
Very nice tour, a "fresh" captain
