This was one of the most energetic tours we have ever been on. Savvy was a wonderful tour guide and clearly offers great enthusiasm for his city. The tour was not at all rushed and provided the right amount of time and the right amount of detail on Hamburg. This was a perfect way to see the city and understand its history.

Savvy met us and guided our tour. A high energy, engaging and humorous gentleman who ensured all questions were answered and who shared his knowledge and love for the city of Hamburg. Useful tips on other things to do/visit, kept to schedule and made it fun despite a cool and drizzly start to the weather. Thank you Savvy!

Very informative tour led by the experienced guide Kalvin. He was very knowledgeable about Hamburg's history and added joviality and humour over the 2 hours. The tour ended by Kalvin sharing attractions and food/bar/brewery recommendations on Google Maps as well as top local tips. Much appreciated. I would definitely recommend this tour.

This tour is a very informative tour and shows you around the main hostorical areas of Hamburg. Unfortunately on the day we did the tour it was pouring with rain, but the guide was very accommodating and found areas of shelter for us to stand whilst he talked to us about the areas. You do not need to book this tour, that was a waste , just turn up to the yellow umbrellas at the town hall. Nawaz as our tour guide and it was a great tour. Thank you
