Fantastic - The harbour tour was just beautiful. My granddaughter and I were absolutely thrilled. Of course, the beautiful weather also contributed a lot to this.

Mixed impression - Super interesting journey. Hamburg is visited in its wealth. Too bad the comments in French are not very audible and that the very voluble guide covers everything with its deafening sound. Nevertheless to advise.

Language problems - The cruise tour was in German. Please be careful about which time is for English. Not many time slots are in English. The harbor was interesting with lots of cranes and boats. Too bad it was in German.

OK if you speak German and want a sun burn - There are only a few seats in the shade. Two hours in direct sun. The app and audio tour in English was not very good. It was difficult and confusing to operate. You need ear phones or must hold the phone to your ear the whole time. The live tour guide was very loud, and his tour did not correspond with the audio guide tour. (I understand a little German). I finally switched off app because too annoying and useless. Guide also cracked jokes, which is fine. It seemed we mostly looked at container ships, not Hamburg city sights.

Don’t go if cannot speak German. - If you don’t speak German, DO NOT take this tour. There is an informative audio recording in English that you can hear by downloading a HORRIBLE not user friendly app. The boat ride and buildings were beautiful but we wish we could head the in person guide’s commentary in English because the app was not easy to listen to.

Bad advertising by viator - Advertised by visitor as six languages with an audio guide. Nope….only in German. No other languages or audio guide. Very poor route- 1-3/4 hours through container ships and 15 minutes in the old warehouse district. Submitting for a full refund.
