The tour guide was very knowledgeable and was able to tell us a lot about the Elbphilharmonie. It was very hot in Hamburg on July 2. He felt us 90% in shady places where you could stand it. It was really very interesting and it is worth visiting the Elbphilharmonie even without a concert.

Christa 10 did a very good job! However, we didn't like the fact that we were outside for 45 minutes of the lesson. We were outside for 45 minutes, and that in cold November. The meeting point should be at the Elbphilharmonie and not on a traffic island!

Unser Tourguide Jörg war sehr versiert und hat uns gut durch das Hafenviertel geführt. Es war super interessant und hat Lust auf mehr gemacht. Allerdings hätten wir uns unter den Köstlichkeiten etwas anderes vorgestellt. Es war insgesamt sehr süßlastig. Da die Tour unser Mittagessen ersetzt hat, hatten wir eher mit was Deftigeren gerechnet. Aber alles in Allem eine interassante und schöne Tour. Vielen Dank.
