The design of the tour is great! It covers most attractions at the city center. Our guide is very knowledgeable and fun as well. He brought us Leibniz biscuits to taste on the tour. However, the tour is conducted in German. The guide would catch up very briefly the content in English while walking towards the next atrraction. If I didn't use real-time Google translator, I would miss most of what he said.

There is a Red Thread self led tour you can do by following the red line painted on the pavement starting from the Information Centre in the main square outside the Hauptbahnhof. You can buy a guide for the walk for €3.50 in the Info Centre. The walk is about 4kms long. It’s definitely the way to see Hanover if you’re fit and mobile. It visited all the areas we wanted to see, at our own pace.

The tour was great. Bi-lingual guide was very nice and was able to pay equal attention to German and English speaking tourists. We learned a lot of historical facts.

Advertised as suitable for English speakers. The guide then announced that he would do it in German as he could tell us more. Shame we couldn't understand most of it. Luckily for us another customer translated bits. Basically an hour long walk with more than 20 other non English speakers. Probably not worth the money if you can't speak German.

The tour is sold as bi-lingual and we specified English as our language on the booking form. The guide did not speak English and it was left to another paying customer to translate the significant parts of the tour. Definitely not as advertised.

The tour is really informative and our tour guide very good. We learnt many things about the city and it's people. The only fault I would state was that it was hard with it being spoken in first German then English. Hard for the guide tell the same story twice.

I booked this tour after the Viator site stated that it would be an English tour. However, out of 22 participants, I was the only English speaker. Therefore, naturally, 80% or more of the tour was in German. The tour guide tried to include some English just for me, but she had to do the vast majority of the explanations in the German language. It seemed like a great tour, but I was unable to understand much of it.

Die sehenswürdige Stadt Hannover wurde hervorragend und megainteressant präsentiert. Wir haben sehr viel interessantes erfahren und gesehen, wir kommen gerne noch einmal nach Hannover um noch mehr zu sehen.

Darauf war ich nicht vorbereitet. Was ich erlebt habe, war keine Stadtführung. Stadtspaziergang bedeutet offenbar nur ein paar dünne Anekdoten. Der Führer hat kaum Informatives und schon gar keine belastbaren Fakten geboten, einiges war nachweislich falsch, wie ich anschließend ergoogeln konnte. Insgesamt extrem oberflächlich. Was ist der Inhalt? Wo ist das interessante? Das konnte ich nicht herausfinden. Dafür wurde viel rumgeshakert. Ein paar chauvinistische Wortspiele da, ein bischen rumgealbert dort. Pflichtbewusst haben ein paar Gäste mitgespielt. Fragwürdig dann aber die Bemerkung, dass geklaute Räder heute in Polen stehen würden. Sowas geht nicht! Visit-hannover.com täte sehr gut daran, mal zu überprüfen, ob ein Qualitätsversprechen gehalten werden kann. Angesichts der anderen positiven Bewertungen scheint die heutige Führung eher eine Ausnahme gewesen zu sein. Das bliebe zu wünschen.

Wir waren mit einer Gruppe von sieben Personen unterschiedlichen Alters und unterschiedlicher Mobilität auf einem Kongress und wollten uns Hannover mit einer Stadtführung anschauen. Ich habe über die Stadt-Seite diesen Stadtspaziergang gefunden und gebucht. Das Tempo der Führung was super, genauso wie die Informationen, die wir erhalten habe. Vielen lieben Dank Frau Linnartz!
