A culinary history lesson

Throw every stereotype you have of German cuisine out the window, because on food tours of Hamburg, you’ll be proven wrong. Over the centuries, this port city has had access to flavors and ingredients from across the globe, most notable spices from South America and India that have over the years become staples in Hamburg cuisine. With your local guide leading the way, discover the history of the city through its famous foods, whether fish freshly caught from the River Elbe and the Baltic Sea or classic soups and stews dating back hundreds of years. Now that’s hands-on history!

Local haunts and holes-in-the-wall

On Hamburg food tours, you better come hungry, because the local cuisine makes it easy to overindulge. Google and your guidebook may have countless suggestions for local eateries, but the truth is, nobody knows better than someone who calls the city home. Your local guide is a self-described culinary connoisseur who spends their free time looking for new places to eat and dishes to try. From street food stalls to holes-in-the-wall, the best restaurants in Hamburg aren’t what you’d expect. One thing’s for sure: You won’t get visitor’s-only Hamburg on food tours with us.

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.
