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.

I used City Unscripted to take a tour of Hamburg, Germany. My guide was Ralf and he was great! He has a wealth of knowledge about Hamburg, and a great sense of humor so the 4 hour tour flew by. It is well worth doing and gave me a completely new view of Hamburg!
