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
We’d all look pretty silly if we promised that you could get around all of Hamburg’s must-see spots in a day, but we reckon we can make a good go of it. You’ll join one of our Hamburg hosts to explore this maritime port city, seeing as many of its famous attractions as you can, finding some time to experience a bit of local livin’ too.
Can you see yourself exploring sites like Miniataur Wunderland, Speicherstadt, and Heide Park before kicking it at a local market, lush park, or hidden vintage store that only insiders know about? We can.
And there’s always time for good food, although Hamburg’s cuisine might not be the German brats and beers you were expecting - here it’s more franzbrötchen (a buttery, cinnamon croissant) and pannfisch (fresh, herby fish in a light mustard sauce).
Whatever your vibe, your friendly host has got you covered and can’t wait to share their home city with you!

I was allowed to visit the various tourist attractions with Deniz, but he also showed me the different neighborhoods with the different ways of life. Denis has a pleasant manner. Thanks Daniz!

We were on our first trip to Hamburg. Our guide, Deniz, was reliable, friendly, knowledgeable and easy going. He took us to all the places we wanted to go to and suggested some other places as well. We really enjoyed talking to him and the information he gave us about Hamburg. We would go again and recommend Deniz highly. It is a lot of walking, but he did offer alternate transportation, even though we chose to walk. I was wearing a walking boot due to a foot Fracture and I still walked 20,000 steps, so it is doable. Thanks Deniz and best of luck in the future.

Deniz was excellent and the tour was exactly what we were looking for! It was our first day in Hamburg and we wanted an overview of the city. He answered all questions and gave excellent suggestions on what to do the remaining time of our stay.
