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.
