See the city with a local

Why see Hamburg with a local by your side? For one, they know their hometown like the back of their hand, and they’ve spent years finding the best places to eat, entertaining things to do, and interesting places to go. Plus, they have a true passion for their city and the desire to share it with travelers like you on tours with locals in Hamburg. Hamburg tours with locals who can easily plan a day that shows off the must-sees and locals-only landmarks give you a nuanced portrait of the city in whatever time you have. There’s no better way to travel, so what are you waiting for?

Putting the “I” in itinerary

There’s no shortage of sights in Hamburg, so it’s to be expected that every traveler’s bucket list would look a little different. Perhaps you want to seek out striking architecture like the iconic Elbphilharmonie or stumble across hidden backstreets plastered with street art off the tourist trail. Maybe you want to marvel at snapshots of centuries-old history – or you could just be in it for the food and beer scene! With City Unscripted Hamburg tours with locals, no two experiences are alike. Our tours with locals in Hamburg give you a day your way with an itinerary 100% tailored to you.

More than the must-sees

Let’s face it – a first-time visitor armed with Google and a GPS would have no problem getting around. But they probably wouldn’t know where to find the heartiest cuisine, most festive beer halls, or the secret alleys lined with quirky concept stores. That’s why you need Hamburg tours with locals to be your walking, talking guidebook! On tours with locals in Hamburg, no experience is off-limits. The sides of the city rarely seen by travelers become yours to explore on a range of experiences. From food tours to full-day experiences, we have many ways to show you the Hamburg you want to see.

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.
