The Elfi tour with Klaus was very pleasant and informative. The harbor tour was impressive and the "chatter" on the Hamburg was entertaining.

Nachdem wir endlich die richtige E-Mail mit Startpunkt, etc. vom Veranstalter erhalten haben, war die Tour sehr kurzweilig, mit viel Wissensübermittlung über die Elphi, dem Hafen bzw. Hamburg insgesamt eine rundum gelungene Sache. -> Gundula 100 Punkte! Auch die Hafenrundfahrt war super!

Meet your tour guide at the Baumwall subway station. Once the group is ready, your guide will lead you by foot to the Elbphilharmonie for a thrilling one-hour tour. You’ll catch a glimpse of its glass facade appearing like a massive ship as it towers over the river. The tour includes a ride on the Tube, the world's longest curved escalator, allowing you to glance over the harbour from high above. After a tour of the building, your guide will lead you to the Plaza's terrace. From this vantage point, you can enjoy stunning views of Elbphilharmonie and Hamburg as the guide points out the vibrant Port of Hamburg, the landing bridges, the Michel and HafenCity. This tour guarantees great and insightful stories on Hamburg with amazing photo opportunities.

Once you've explored the Elbphilharmonie, head to the next highlight of the day which is the harbour tour. The one-hour tour begins at St. Pauli Landungsbrücken. You get to pick the vessel of your choice between a traditional barge and a spacious salon ship, after which you’re off to get a taste of cruise air. From the historic and splendid red-brick warehouses of Speicherstadt to the architectural masterpieces of HafenCity, you will discover that this is a place where history meets modernity. A skipper on the board will provide live commentary as you pass the major attractions along the way, allowing you to grasp your surroundings more insightfully.
