The guide showed many highlights of the city. Deniz was very informative and helped us with our quest of finding an item. He took the extra time in meeting our needs.

We had the best day exploring Lubeck! Deniz met us in Hamburg and took us to the train station where we boarded the train to Lubeck. He already had our tickets purchased, guided us through the busy platform, and the day began smoothly. The rest of the day was just as easy! He showed us Lubeck’s highlights and some hidden surprises. We ate at a delicious restaurant for lunch and ended the day making the train back to Hamburg without a hitch. He took the stress out of our day and added so much historical knowledge. Highly recommend!

The two of us LOVED our tour of Lubeck! Our guide, Deniz, was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and considerate of our preferences. This is especially important when you are booked on a 7-hour tour experience. We were especially glad to have Deniz pick us up at our Hamburg hotel and escort us on the train ride to Lubeck (and back). We saw the major sights on our list, as well as delightful hidden places in Lubeck known to Deniz. A relaxing lunch at a former actual guildhall (Schiffergesellschaft- don't ask me to pronounce it!) was a historic sight in itself with some ships hanging from the ceiling and some good pub food & drinks. We highly recommend this tour.
