I was totally thrilled - I have rarely experienced such a very entertaining and informative harbor tour! In the 1 hour I got great insider knowledge about the most important spots in Hamburg and often laughed heartily - definitely recommended!

Loved the skilled and lighthearted explanations of the boats people n the seaman's shanties. Impressive to see the big "tubs" and hear the detailed background infos about the ships n buildings around the harbour. We did the night-and the day harbour cruise. Both were unique bec every time they were different ships to see. The company is very flexible and refreshing friendly and helpful. We booked a Barkasse and then liked to change it to a ship, no problem. A harbour cruise is a must to get the right impression from Hamburg. Highly recommend. Thanks.

The captain of the launch was very open-minded and had a super positive effect on us. His explanations of the respective descriptions showed a very good knowledge of what is happening around the port of Hamburg. The trip was very entertaining and informative.

Das Erleben des Hafens und der großen "Pötte" ist einfach sehr beeindruckend von diesem tollen Passagierschiff aus! Dazu kommen die informativen und lustigen Erklärungen des "Geschichtenerzählers" an Bord. Alles zusammen ein wirklich schönes Erlebnis, dass jeder Hamburgbesucher einmal gemacht haben sollte!
