What you'll do

Maximize your time in Hamburg with a local Hamburg host that knows the ropes!

Although you couldn’t possibly see all the city has to offer in such a short space of time, you can absolutely get your personalized fix of famous sites and local flavor in an experience catered entirely to your interests. 

You’ll follow your host as they lead you through the historic port city, soaking up the maritime spirit that infuses almost everything, from local food to the design of The Elbphilharmonie concert hall.

Amble through the town center or check out artsy districts on the foreshore (although most places in this maritime city are on the foreshore of some kind or other) and squeeze in some time to try some unique food - it’s less brätwurst and more franzbrötchen (a buttery, cinnamon pastry) here.

It will be your host’s pleasure to unlock the city for you so that you may continue to see it through an inspiring lens.

    I spent 4 hours on a mostly walking tour (with a few metro rides) with Dave who showed me around central Hamburg. The tour was thorough, the pace was comfortable, and I felt I was able to get a real feel for the city and it’s residents. Dave was knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. I did this tour as a day trip from Berlin which I think worked out well for me.

    Loerta was a wonderful guide to Hamburg. Highly recommended. Loerta was very accommodating and met our needs perfectly. She checked out the places we wanted to visit and made sure the times were accurate. A very wonderful introduction to Hamburg!
