Loved learning more about the Hamburg Harbor and seeing it from a different view🤓 - Very informative and always love cruises in the city and learn more about the Hamburg Harbor! Just wished for sunny skies😂😎 didn’t realize until later that I could’ve asked for English until after the tour, but used my Translator GO app😂 and my daughter speaks German!

Great experience - A great experience with a very good guide. Our dog was also no problem at all. The only negative is that the tables are very tight and so there is really little space. This should be taken into account, especially when taking the dog on board.

Really a great ride ☺️ - We took part in the two-hour drive. Due to the tide we could not unfortunately through the Speicherstadt, but drove to Blankenese. Somewhat unfortunate was the fact that the order confirmation said to report to branch 1, but effectively feeder 7 was the right one. However, this brief "stress" was made up for by such an excellent guidebook that it was quickly forgotten. We would book a ride at Abicht again at any time.

Good way to see the city - You get around and see a lot of different things. Especially the large container ships were exciting.

Great experience - Great experience. Two things were not so great: first, very tight seating and second, no service at the table. We were pretty squeezed in and had practically no way to get drinks. Otherwise, the ride was very nice and interesting.

Stick to the one hour - no need for two hours - You have to have headphones and download the app to have it in English. We used Google Translate but that uses up phone battery so much. Wished it focused only on the canals in the city. Did not care about the shipping port and that was an entire hour of the cruise. We did like the comfort and ability to order drinks and snacks.

Threshold. - 2 hours is definitely worth it, as you not only explore the Speicherstadt as usual, but also experience the dimensions of the port. The music was too loud and the explanations about the buildings, ships and the port overall okay, but commenting on everything with supposed jokes becomes about borderline over 2 hours. In addition, you should have more control over alcohol-fueled bachelor parties. Next time, don't go back to sprouts.

No English - The tour claims to be English speaking however it was in German. There was an app which no one explained until we were on the boat. If you didn’t have internet you could not download the audio app. If this had been disclosed we would not have chosen this tour. Don’t waste your time!!!!
