Much too superficial. Only general superficial information was provided. One could also acquire that with rough preparation. Wikipedia is infinitely better. It's a shame about the money.

I tend to do a self-guided walking tour in every city I visit. I think it is the best way to discover a city, since one can stop and start whenever/wherever. This one in Hamburg has such a lot to offer in 3 (I think?) different routes.
Thanks for the lovely review. We’re glad you enjoyed the flexibility of exploring at your own pace, and that the tour had plenty to discover along the way.
There were very educational and informative notes, the quiz was great and the duration was pleasant. It was fun
Vielen Dank Birgit für deine tolle Bewertung. Es freut uns sehr, dass dir die Infos gefallen haben und dass das Quiz sowie die Dauer genau gepasst haben. Schön, dass du Spaß hattest.
Great and fast customer service because it didn't work out right away with the access link. The tour was informative and very entertaining due to the puzzle questions. It's also nice that you can divide the time. In between you can pause and sit down in a café etc.
