Hey there! I'm Ralf, your fun local host in the incredible city of Hamburg. What I absolutely love about Hamburg is how you can go from the bustling waterfront to stylish shopping malls in just a few steps. This city is bursting with beautiful water views, lush parks, and a fantastic variety of restaurants for every taste. I'm all about shopping sprees, indulging in delicious food, and dancing the night away. I also love capping off a perfect day with a visit to the Museum of Arts. I know the north area inside out, with its gorgeous parks, golf courses, and natural beauty. If you're into history and architecture, I've got plenty of fascinating stories to share. And for foodies and nightlife lovers, I can point you to the best restaurants and bars in town. Let's explore the charm and excitement of Hamburg together—you're in for an unforgettable adventure!

Rolf was the most amazing guide ever. He has the best personality and as a true local is extremely knowledgeable about all things Hamburg. We would absolutely recommend him and would definitely see him if we visit Hamburg again.

We had a great time in our 2-hour city tour with our guide Ralf. He was really experienced, gave us great insights. We are looking forward to discovering other parts of the city with Hamburg Private Walking Tour in our next visit.

I used City Unscripted to take a tour of Hamburg, Germany. My guide was Ralf and he was great! He has a wealth of knowledge about Hamburg, and a great sense of humor so the 4 hour tour flew by. It is well worth doing and gave me a completely new view of Hamburg!
