This was a very nice tour of Hamburg. We got to see many interesting areas of the city, which is why we typically enjoy a Hop On Hop Off experience on our first day in a new city. The recorded audio tour commentary was well done and included interesting anecdotes about the city, culture and population. Our only suggestions are1. to get better descriptions of the exact locations of the stops (we had trouble finding the correct location - but saw the bus and were able to catch it!) and 2. to figure out a way to insure that the audio track synchs with the bus position.

We had a WONDERFUL experience on the harbor cruise. Our guide was fun and entertaining (even if we don't speak German). He gave us the QR code to read up on the sites in our home language (English) and we toured more sites than we originally thought. The reception person at the check in site was also very kind, helpful and directed us on where we needed to be. Would absolutely take this cruise again and highly recommend it to others traveling.

It is a good way to see Hamburg from a different perspective. We attended on a relatively mild and sunny day, which allowed us to take our seats on the outside terrace of the ship, from which we were able to take some very nice photographs. Contrary to the description, we were not given any audio guides in languages other than German, but since this was not our first visit to the city, it was fine anyway. Good experience, I would recommend it.

Explore Hamburg with the 1-day hop-on-hop-off bus pass, featuring 15 stops, buses every 60 mins, and GPS-controlled audio guides.

Explore renowned sites such as the Outer Alster, a favored spot for boating and sailing, and the lively Goose Market.

Board a barge or passenger ship and set sail on the River Elbe for a 1-hour cruise. Enjoy live commentary in German from the onboard skipper.

Enjoy an English audio guide as you pass Hamburg Fischmarkt, the docks by Blohm and Voss, and admire the Elbphilharmonie.

Fun fact: The River Elbe is approximately 1,094 kilometers long, making it one of Central Europe's major rivers.

It was wonderful! We recommend this trip to everyone!! The captain was very cheerful: he gave us a tour of the city canals, the Philharmonic, and the transport port. The bulk carrier was the most spectacular moment!

The visit was very good, as was the welcome, but as I don't understand German, I didn't understand the explanations, although the audioguide was in English. As a result, the tour was too expensive for what it offered.
