Captain Matthias was very entertaining. Time flew by, and we learned a lot of interesting things about Hamburg’s past and present during the hour-long cruise on a ship that’s over 100 years old. We had a great time! THANK YOU!

Very informative, but not overwhelming. The Elphi is a fantastic building. It’s definitely worth a visit. Stefan was knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you!

We really enjoyed the knowledgeable, informative, and thoroughly humorous tour of the harbor, even if it wasn’t always entirely accurate and occasionally included some old-fashioned “wife jokes.” The 30-minute delay in departure time was negative and incomprehensible: The departure time was listed as 3:30 p.m. at the time of booking and in the app, and we were told to arrive early. Departing at 4:00 p.m. without communicating this is not good and comes across as unprofessional.

The trip itself was amusing and interesting. The captain very professional and telling funny stories. The only issue I have is that; we were instructed by Headout to proceed to peer 6 at 14:00 hours to board the ship. When we came there at 13:55 it appeared the at peer 6 is only the office of the Barkassen-Meyer Touristik GmbH and we were immediatelly directed to run to peer 2 were the ship was waiting for us. We were just on time and a little out of breath when arriving to the ship.

This 1-hour Elbphilharmonie Plaza tour unveils the concert hall's history and offers beautiful city views from the Plaza with skip-the-line access.

Your guide spills the tea on why it was so expensive and how it became a Hamburg icon. Plus, ride the world's longest curved escalator.

Take a 1-hour harbor cruise past the Speicherstadt warehouse district and modern HafenCity, on a passenger ship or a barge.

As you sail past, see the massive container terminals that keep Hamburg humming and the red-brick warehouses lining the canals.

Did you know? The Elbphilharmonie's curved glass facade is designed to deflect birds, preventing mid-air collisions with the concert hall's windows.

It was a fine tour around the harbour, but - coming from Denmark, where we always translate everything to English - it was a little annoying that everything was in German

It was really great; everything was explained to my complete satisfaction.

Experience two of Hamburg's must-visit attractions, the Elbphilharmonie and the Hamburg Harbour, while saving time and money.

Elbphilharmonie Plaza Guided Tour

Your exploration begins at Baumwall subway station where you'll meet your guide. As you approach the Elbphilharmonie, look at its glass facade, resembling a giant wave about to crash onto the shore. Together, you'll delve into the Elbphilharmonie's story, a modern marvel nicknamed the "Elphi" by locals. Skip-the-line access whisks you past the crowds, and soon you'll be gliding up the world's longest curved escalator, offering a preview of the harbor panorama. Your guide will share details about the building's design and construction challenges, including the special vineyard-shaped acoustic features in the concert hall.

Hamburg Harbor Cruise

Set sail on a 1-hour cruise through the historic Hamburg harbor, the largest port in Germany. Choose between a comfortable passenger ship or a traditional barge. Both options offer excellent vantage points as you sail past the landmarks. You'll witness the scale of container terminals, a testament to Hamburg's role as a global trade hub. The red-brick warehouses lining the Speicherstadt canals, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offer a glimpse into Hamburg's maritime history. See the Cap San Diego, a cargo ship that's now a museum. Your skipper's live commentary in German, with multilingual audio guides available, will bring the harbor's past and present-day operations to life.
