Fun and great impressions

Everything worked out great, very friendly staff, entertaining comments. Be there early enough for a seat of your choice. € 30 / ticket is a word, drinks also not cheap - but what is that in Hamburg? A successful evening, was fun.

Slightly disappointed

We booked for 1800 but we were told by the company at the site there wasn't a 1800 we had to be there for 1600 (be here for 4 at dock 4 we were told), sad really because we wanted to sail for the evening lights, it wasn't dark enough. I would have given a 1 star but the staff onboard the vessel we lovely and it was a beautiful boat.

Operator response

Dear customers, Our boat departed as scheduled at 18:00 for the evening tour, and our daytime tour also ran smoothly, with the last departure at 17:30. In our company, we never close operations at 16:00. Best regards,

Beautiful tour by night…

Beautiful tour of Hamburg’s Speicherstadt and working harbour by night. Gives a unique view of the city. Elbphilharmonie - superb sight. Get there early to get your spot… and forget about queueing! With usual German attention to having a good time, you can order a beer or wine at your table, from a very genial waiter. I left this tour even more in love with Hamburg than when we set off.

Only German tour guide

Sadly, we can't tell you about the tour because it was not in English nor did it provide any translation. Our tickets say English audio, but there was only German. Those around seemed to enjoy it.

Unforgettable!

It was fun! The map link on the Trip Advisor website took us to the wrong meeting place but fortunately we had left enough time. We only saw the sign to download the English audio at the end of the trip so we hadn’t a clue about what the guy was saying but we still managed to enjoy the ride. As we were travelling towards the experience we say the largest container ship in the world docking, and our ride included a close up view of it at the end. It extended the trip and was a fabulous experience.

Silence is golden

The view of the Elbe lit is magical! A such a different perspective of the river in daylight. Would that i had relative silence to enjoy it and the excellent app with such interesting and informative facts on the Hamburg harbour. But the tour guide bellowed the German version in a manner that left me feeling as though i had been verbally & physically assaulted for more than an hour. I left the boat feeling traumatised. I understood not a word, but the violence spoke volumes to me. I could not recommend this tour to anyone. I abhor violence in all forms. I would not subject anyone to such verbal violence

Light ride

A very nice 1-hour harbor tour/light cruise through the Hamburg harbor at 9 p.m. Drinks were provided. The staff and the guide were very nice and friendly. Really recommended for groups and couples.

Nice lights tour

Was ok, doing it in November meant it was too cold to stay on deck but table service at the bar inside was ok. Saw a lot of the harbour workings all lit up
