How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
You’ll follow your Hamburg host as they lead you on a journey through the beautiful city of Hamburg.
Live, eat and drink like a local for a day, as they take you under their wing and enable you to experience the city in an authentic and inspiring way.
Whether you’d like to take in some famous sites, like the Miniataur Wunderland, or explore a new neighborhood, like Speicherstadt (the warehouse district) where you’ll find museums, beautiful architecture, and the harbor, we’ll go at your pace, according to your interests.
There are so many exciting possibilities in this friendly port city, and what better way to experience them, than through the eyes of someone who actually lives there?
Chat to your host about the best places to visit and eat at for the remainder of your stay, perhaps over a meal? You might be surprised to find the local dishes quite different from southern Germany’s famed brats and beer!

We used City Unscripted for a full-day tour in Hamburg, Germany and requested Dave as our tour guide. Dave was amazing. He showed us the major sites, hidden gems and allowed us to stop whenever needed. He knows the city well and has an awesome sense of humor.

We did some searching and found City Unscripted and noticed right away that tours are private and can be customized. Then we started trying to choose a tour and guide. We liked Dav's biography and reviews, so he was one of our top choices. Do glad we made that call. Dave showed us an amazing time!

Dave wss our Hamburg, Germany guide for our full-day customized tour. What a wonderful day we had, thanks to Dave from City Unscripted. The company itself is excellent and we will use them anywhere we can, and Dave again if we return to Hamburg. The company was very easy to work with. Dave communicated with us prior to our trip and listened to what we were interested in and what we wanted to see and do. In exchange, he had suggestions and tailored our tour to make it as exciting as possible in the time we had. We saw some interesting sites and had a good lunch, but the best part of our wonderful day was all the laughs along the way. Dave from City Unscripted has an amazing sense of humor in addition to being very knowledgeable about history. You are allowed to request him.

Dave is amazing! He knows the city well and provided an excellent tour personalized to our requests and interests. We enjoyed our full day with Dave strolling the streets and learning as we walked. We also enjoyed a relaxing lunch break and a couple sit down breaks along our journey. Dave has a wonderful personality and can make you laugh and smile the entire day. We may return to Hamburg someday, if for nothing else but to spend time with this incredible individual, Dave. Thank you for a wonderful day and life long memories. Allen & Marshall.
