We had great support from our tour guide and driver. It was almost like a private tour—we could ask questions and got answers to everything. Great. The boat trip was also very personalized for us. Fun and interesting. Just great.

Our booking was for the Elbphilharmonie. We had a really great tour guide (Andre), who was also happy to answer our questions about other sights spontaneously.

You learned a lot about the history of Hamburg. Where no access was granted, you could see pictures instead. Very detailed and guided with passion. More content and more beautifully designed than the tour that you could book directly in the Elbphilharmonie.

Craft your own itinerary with a 1-day hop-on hop-off bus tour, covering 15 stops with buses every 60 mins and see landmarks like Speicherstadt, Alster Lake, and more.

The double-decker bus is designed for your comfort and premium viewing with an open-top deck and GPS-controlled audio guides in multiple languages.

Get ready to be swept off your feet by the Elbphilharmonie, an architectural marvel transformed from a brick warehouse to one of the world's most striking concert venues.

Dive deep with an expert English or German-speaking guide and explore the Plaza with stunning views of the Elbe River and the cityscape.

Fun fact: The Elbphilharmonie is not only a concert venue and a hotel but also a residential building. There are a total of 44 luxury apartments in Elbphi!

A brief history of the building. However, it is not mentioned that the tour does not include a visit to the great hall, which was the reason for my reservation... so I was very disappointed.

Inside, a curved escalator takes you up to the Elphi Plaza, an observation deck on the 8th floor. Here, Hamburg stretches out before you. Your English or German-speaking guide will share the Elbphilharmonie's story, from its warehouse beginnings to its rise as a world-class concert hall.
