The guide accompanying the driver was very friendly, made a big effort to speak French with us, and gave clear and interesting explanations. The driver drove smoothly, with impressive skill in maneuvering his big bus around the Alster.

ARON gave us all the facts and figures about the Elbphilharmonie—very lively, so you actually remember a lot of information. He shared plenty of stories around it. It is definitely worth doing.

The tour guide was very likable and had many interesting stories to tell. However, we were disappointed that we couldn't enter any of the halls to experience the acoustics. But that wasn't the guide's fault.

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

The trip on the smaller boat (launch) was perfect, informative, and very interesting. Cruising up to the massive container ships and the cruise ship was particularly impressive. This hour on the water was put to brilliant use, thank you so much.
