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.

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 were only a few guests and were spontaneously given a very good personal tour by the team (the guide) on the bus. It was an experience!

A luxury coach/double decker. Good seats. Clean. No engine noise, there electric coach. You butt in the most beautiful places and can get out and back in as you wish.

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.

Better to talk about what did not work. Stated hours were not adhered to and the guide on the boat spoke only German. There was no English-speaking producer either. So overall sufficient experience but would not recommend it
