The best private food tours & experiences with locals

Can we let you in on a secret? A day in Hamburg with City Unscripted isn’t just about seeing the sights. It’s also the perfect excuse to experience Hamburg’s unique culinary culture. There’s no better way to get an authentic taste of Hamburg than by joining one of our local guides on the ultimate food tours of Hamburg. Book Hamburg food tours and fuel your day with some of the best food the city has to offer (and a local guide to be your restaurant reviewer, menu decipherer, and dinner date.) Don’t worry, we’ll still help you squeeze in a couple of the top attractions between unforgettable bites of traditional German cuisine. Who says you can’t have the best of both worlds?

Hungry for Hamburg

All of Germany’s must-try culinary contributions, from beer to bratwurst, are found here in Hamburg, and food tours of Hamburg are the perfect excuse to try several of them. Our Hamburg food tours are jam-packed with mouthwatering dishes and delicacies, from cinnamon-infused franzbrötchen to sweet fruit pudding with vanilla sauce. Book our “Ultimate Hamburg food experience” to experience the city’s culinary culture in the most authentic way possible. We’ll make sure you steer clear of the tourist traps and discover the foodie hubs that have become local institutions.

A culinary history lesson

Throw every stereotype you have of German cuisine out the window, because on food tours of Hamburg, you’ll be proven wrong. Over the centuries, this port city has had access to flavors and ingredients from across the globe, most notable spices from South America and India that have over the years become staples in Hamburg cuisine. With your local guide leading the way, discover the history of the city through its famous foods, whether fish freshly caught from the River Elbe and the Baltic Sea or classic soups and stews dating back hundreds of years. Now that’s hands-on history!

Local haunts and holes-in-the-wall

On Hamburg food tours, you better come hungry, because the local cuisine makes it easy to overindulge. Google and your guidebook may have countless suggestions for local eateries, but the truth is, nobody knows better than someone who calls the city home. Your local guide is a self-described culinary connoisseur who spends their free time looking for new places to eat and dishes to try. From street food stalls to holes-in-the-wall, the best restaurants in Hamburg aren’t what you’d expect. One thing’s for sure: You won’t get visitor’s-only Hamburg on food tours with us.

Aline was communicative prior and after my arrival to Hamburg. Aline was prompt and arrived to the pickup location on time. She inquired about interests and exceeded my expectations. She took me to two amazing restaurants, which had delicious food! Aline is knowledgeable, funny, kind, and patient. She is also a great photographer and videographer! I have traveled to many countries and this experience was by far was the best I’ve had! I will be back! Thank you Aline for the memories. I will cherish them forever! Rachel
