Hamburg harbor tour with a barge
Description
Only with a barge can you experience the port of Hamburg from its most beautiful side. The small, maneuverable ships sail the fleets and canals of the Hanseatic city, depending on the water level. A very special experience, getting closer to the huge container and cargo ships than would be possible with large ships or from land. The trip will of course be moderated in an entertaining but informative manner by our experienced skippers. Enjoy the harbor adventure and come on board our ships. *** Moderation in German ***

Was including going places larger/taller boats could not. I don't speak German so couldn't laugh at the captain's comments when others did. Google Translate didn't even pick up half of it so I just enjoyed the tour.
Very personal reception. The boat was not overcrowded, allowing for easy movement between the seating area and the observation platform. Czem's wordy, witty explanations were very entertaining. In between, one could engage in conversation with him. The boat captain willingly allowed the children to look over his shoulder, explained the buttons, and permitted them to press the button to open the lock. This also provided insight into his perspective on the harbor. Next to the huge container ship, we felt like we were in a nutshell. The tour is highly recommended.
Very informative and the captain of "Hansa" was very funny. Especially recommended for German-speaking people. We also greatly appreciate the trust of the barge business, as you had to take the drinks out of the fridge yourself and put the money in a bowl. All in all very good and cheap.
Great tour with real Hamburger Schnack 😉. Totally recommended.We were three and because it is a smaller boat, you immediately feel comfortable if you do not want to be with tens of hundreds of people on one boat.
Very nice harbour tour with Popeye a real hamburger, also former workers in the docks, who holds a lot of anecdotes and expertise and gives everything with hamburger charm to the best. Thanks also to co-helmsman Robin and the rest of the crew Bülow for this beautiful ride.
Interesting comments, good choice of route with different aspects, funny explanations. Unfortunately, a little many financial elements
Highly recommended!!!! Due to the fact that the barges do not depart directly from the landing piers, the prices are cheaper and the boats are not as full. And I love to go with the old barges and not just any new tourist boats. In addition, Captain "Popeye" has a real idea as a former dock worker and not just reads down general information. Thanks to his entertaining but informative explanations it was totally exciting and I got many new insights. As a hamburger, I have already made some harbour tours. That was the best! Next time we'll be back! Danke, Popeye!
I haven't explore yet. So it difficult to say. But I would like to learn more about Hamburg City with this tour and meet people.
The Guide was Great. I have Never Been so close to big ships. Fantastic ride. Very useful informations about Hamburg.
Very informative! Since we were traveling in a small barge, it was possible - despite the flood - to drive into the Speicherstadt! That was great! Many thanks to "Popeye"!! ;-)
