“The tour was really insightful; the guide did a great job of carrying everyone one along in both English & German. He also had a good sense of humour which was a plus. The only concern is that the bus was really cold at night. Maybe some form of heating could help in the winter months.”

“We signed up for this tour and when we tried to catch the bus later in the afternoon we found out that it stopped running early (3::45). There was nothing in the ads that indicated it stopped so early. Other hop on/hop off companies were still running. We paid for something that we never got to use!”

“Wir hatten mit Nicole als kompetente, nette Stadtführerin eine lustige und unterhaltsame Stadtrundfahrt mit vielen Geschichten und Hintergrundinformationen. Wir fanden es die beste Art und Weise in anderthalb Stunden einen ersten Überblick über Hamburg zu erhalten und Lust auf weitere Besuche zu bekommen. Unsere Busfahrerin hat uns sicher durch Hamburgs- zum Teil engen Straßen- manövriert. Hut ab! Sehr empfehlenswert!”
