We had a great time. Forgot to ask for English audio but the boats and ships we saw with the lights in the bay were amazing. The boat was enclosed so it wanted too cold or windy or wet. The presenter had the ship laughing so I'm sure he was wonderful.

Wonderful tour through the port of Hamburg! Very friendly staff. Good hospitality. Exciting impressions during ice drift. The name "light tour" did not promise too much.
