Taking the road less traveled

Seeing the best of the city on Hamburg walking tours doesn’t have to mean sticking to the bustling main streets. On private walking tours in Hamburg with us, you’ll also be able to explore the lesser-known paths lined with holes-in-the-wall and popular local haunts not even your guidebook knows about. Of course, our local hosts can take you to the city’s top attractions, but they’re also intimately familiar with Hamburg's off-the-beaten-track paths that hide several exciting secrets of their own. Locals-only Hamburg is equally exciting – book our Hamburg walking tours to see for yourself.

A taste of Hamburg

Germany’s most iconic culinary contributions, from beer to bratwurst, are all found here in Hamburg, and walking tours of Hamburg are the perfect time to taste them. Our Hamburg walking food tours give you plenty of excuses to press pause on your diet plan, from cinnamon-infused franzbrötchen to rote grütze pudding. Why not book our “Ultimate Hamburg food experience” to indulge in all the most iconic bites the city has to offer? But you don’t need a food tour, because all of our Hamburg private walking tours give you the opportunity to uncover the city’s most popular food spots.

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.
