Great Experience - This harbor boat 2 hour tour is well worth doing it was very interesting and informative. The host was excellent and while he spoke in Germain, he did use English on the main points.

Anytime again. - Despite the fog and cool weather, this was a very informative and fun tour with good hospitality. There are hot and cold drinks, cakes and especially liquid bread. I can recommend the tour to anyone interested. Just think of a warm jacket, scarf and hat.

Absolutely recommendable! - Moin! Absolutely recommended - if possible on the Little Romy with Captain Kevin - great guide, fun designed, interesting facts and heartfelt quips made the tour the highlight of the Hamburg visit. The ride was even extended unscheduled and we were able to collect even more impressions! 10/10 - to recommend.

Very nice way to spend two hours in Hamburg! - The guide spoke in German but we were well aware of that before boarding. The main spots to see were listed on the itinerary anyway, so it was not hard to find out about them on our own. The positive energy of the crew and the passengers was a high-point, even if we didn't understand the language. The cruise itself was tremendous - especially the visit to the port with its massive container ships. Really gave an interesting perspective on the city. And drinks, snacks & well-maintained restrooms on board made the trip quite comfortable.

The 2-hour harbour tour was great! - Was a very good harbour tour with great information and sights. The route can definitely be recommended. We didn't like that the captain smoked while driving with the door open and all the smell came to us.

Disappointing tour - We had booked the 2 hour XXL tour on a small ship despite the proud price of 40 € p.P. because we wanted to go through the Speicherstadt. On board we learned that a trip through the Speicherstadt is not possible because of high tide and you are now going to Blankenese instead. The times of low tide and high tide are known long in advance, so why are rides that are supposed to lead through the Speicherstadt offered at high tide? Why not get a clear indication when booking online that there is high tide at the booked time and the route is changed. In the end, the tour guide, who knew a lot of interesting things to tell us (* *) , told us that he said goodbye to us personally at the exit and expected at least 5 € but better 10 € (or more) tip.

Very disappointing - I booked this tour and ensured that it was going to be in English. When we arrived at the meeting point we were sent to the wrong place and almost missed the boat (not our error, we were very clearly told bridge 7, he even held up 7 fingers, but the boat was all the way at bridge 9). We just get on the boat in time, it starts going and everything is in German. I asked if there was any option to be able to hear the information in English and was told no. A refund was requested and denied.
