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
Forget art cloistered up in a hushed museum. Here, art is everywhere.
So, you’ll follow one of our Hamburg hosts as they lead you through the city to discover Hamburg’s street art, perhaps with an artisanal, hipster-barista-made coffee in hand (although no one’s stopping you from grabbing a few beers either).
In Hamburg, street art forms part of the city’s evolving identity, and artists from near and far come to the city to partake.
Get lost (not literally, promise) in trendy neighborhoods like St Pauli, the Schanzenviertel, and the Karolinenviertel where you’ll find some of the city’s most famous murals, paste-ups, and tags, and have your eyes opened to the interesting stories behind some of the works.
Revel in these open-air street museums and absorb the rebelliously creative spirit. All before your host takes you to a section of urban concrete where you can make your own mark! Don’t worry. It’s totally legal. Probably...

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.

We had a great experience with Cem. He was very knowledgeable and took us to places that were beautiful and not just usual tourist stops. He recommended a local restaurant for dinner. We had a great dinner like the locals. I would definitely recommend him as a guide. He took photos of us and sent them to us right away.

Deniz was an incredible guide, knowledgeable in a wide range of areas including pop culture, history, and architecture. He took me through some well known spots but also to hidden gems that I would've never have known existed. He made Hamburg come alive. Highly recommend!
