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.

    It was a very good and interesting tour with Klaus, he had a lot of good information. It was a bit of a shame that we didn't get to see the concert halls.
