Glad I booked the tour on a large boat. The smaller boats looked cold and wet. Great drink service. Learned a lot about Hamburg.

Lovely boat , very warm, comfortable, interesting scenery but the main issue was it was impossible to download the guide onto our phones and the talk was unfortunately in German

Rene_Z

Excellent river cruise at river Elbe. Tour guide was in German so be prepared. Mobile app in English was unreliable so I recommend highly for german speakers. 1 hour tour was enough to enjoy the wonderful weekend day in Hamburg!

Skip this cruise unless you are interested in seeing the mechanics of shipping containers being unloaded off of freighters , similar to Port Elizabeth as seen from the NJ turnpike. The Elbe has some beautiful areas, none of which we saw. It was all in German, supposedly an app for English, but we didn’t have any earbuds. Thankfully it was a beautiful day, they sell beer and drinks, we sat on the very top, so all was not lost, except $70

The meeting point is not very clear once you are at the address that the email confirmation says. I tried to talk with the people from the company and they said that I needed a QR code to get in on the boat, something that you don’t get, you only get a confirmation number and they say this is not enough. I had to call customer service since we lost one of the boat that we were planning to take and this messed up a bit our schedule. The customer service agent was telling to go to a specific place with a specific person but this is not very helpful when you are talking through the phone. At the end the staff for the company felt pity for us and he let us go to the boat without a QR code.

The guy we first spoke to was very Informative and explained the two options available to us. We chose the one we thought was going to take us through the old town however it didn't really go very far in before turning around and heading back to the main river. We then got taken past some large containers and a few boats before heading back. The boat was comfortable and the staff friendly however we were unable to download the android app which would have provided an English translation of what was being said as it was built for an older version of android and didn't work. This made most of this pretty difficult as we had not idea what the significance of the boats was. All it all it was still a good way to spend an hour and I would recommend

No English audio mentioned. The guide said that he would answer any questions that I may have but didn't see him again until we docked. Pretty pointless. Maybe busier than Rotterdam. I don't know. Highlight was the bar staff drinking beer.

The tour was very interesting showing the port of Hamburg. The harbour was busy with lots of posts but wet weather set in.

TuLinh_N

Absolutely perfect experience & worth all the cost. The ship is big & spacious, I was lucky to grab a good spot. Just the weather can be quite "flexible", you should bring a hat & a jacket because it will be sunny & quite cold at the same time when the ship is more in the middle.

The Elbe is not so beautiful. Very industrial. They put me on a boat with all German narration even though it was clear that I did not speak German. Didn’t discover this until we were underway. Unless you want to see shipping containers, skip this trip!
