My wife and I had a fantastic private tour of Hamburg with Dave, who whisked us through the city’s highlights at an energetic pace. He introduced us to fascinating architectural gems we would never have found on our own. Thoughtfully, Dave met us directly at the cruise terminal, which made everything so much easier, especially as it was our first visit to Hamburg. To maximize our time, the tour even included a few short metro rides, allowing us to see more of the city within the schedule.

This is a must-do tour for anyone interested in the history of the warehouse district. Dave took the time to explain the importance of the key buildings with important historical anecdotes. We ended our tour in a beer beer hall for a drink and some wurst.

What you’ll do

With your local Hamburg host by your side, explore a pocket of Hamburg that will leave you feeling settled enough to tackle the rest of the city on your own. Don’t worry about getting lost; simply relax as one of our hosts shows you the ins and outs of their city, including the best ways to get around. 

During this personalized experience, we’ll take it at your speed - that speed could be a lazy cruise down a canal, it’s a maritime city after all! Or let your host take you through the gritty, industrial area where artists love inviting travelers in to inspect their work.

Whatever your preference, you can be sure your trip to Hamburg will be off to a great start as you chat and get to know your host.

Your host would love to share with you their favorite places to eat, hang out and explore, and make recommendations for the rest of your trip so you can continue to explore the city through an inspiring lens.
