Great experience! - A very entertaining experience. Our captain Elias made sure that it wasn't just a "sail around" in Hamburg's waters, but a trip with a lot of fun, entertainment and even education. Very clear recommendation for visitors to Hamburg.

Awesome Harbor Tour of Hamburg (Close-Up) - This was a great tour of some rather narrow canals in Hamburg Harbor. Also included was some VERY close up tour stops along some giant container ships (actually being loaded during our tour) and along side of some interesting dry docks. Two notes about the tour - (1) the Departure Point is a little unclear…It is listed as follows: “Please go down the Überseebrücke. On the left side is your ship, which you can use to start the harbor tour.” Actually, you need to turn left twice, and take the pier back towards the northwest to the 2nd intersecting pier. Here, there will be a long flag hanging on a post on the pier at the intersection, and the barge will say “Rainer Abicht Elbreederei GmbH & Co. KG” on the side. (2) Be sure to ask about any audio-supported language translations that you need. The entire tour is given in German.

A must in Hamburg - Went here one day with friends, joined the ship at the dock and had a wonderful experience sailing through the port of Hamburg, the tour guide was very informative and gave us so much information about the port, on the plus side we had a couple of beers while on-board, this was worth seeing and I would recommend it to ours.

Better if you know the local language. - The trip was nice. Timely start with a prompt finish. No frills or hassles. The advertisement for this trip was however not accurate as the only language spoken (and available) was German hence, we missed out on any explanation. If that’s what you are looking for, I would definitely recommend a different trip. It was relaxing and enjoyable for us, regardless.

Only German speakers should go, but then it is quite good. Beware if it's ebb or flood, it changes the route. - Through this app I had the option to choose english tour. But that was false advertising. Kevin only spoke German, and although I understood around 40% I actually had an okay time. Most of his, for a German, funny jokes landed with me. And judging by the rest of the guests, he was quite funny even when it didn't land for me. Also, the tour was for a part of the harbor not available during high tide, so we did a different route than advertised. Overall, a good tour, even if it wasn't what I ordered.

Conned with ticket and no English - Booked the cruise expecting it to be the paddle steamer as we had asked this, when we arrived we were told it didn’t run in the day we had booked it. We had booked in the little shop (see photo) the man wasn’t bothered when I went back to say it was false information and it was never running. The tour was ok but obviously in German and we weren’t offered any translation etc. Did see a lot from the water and it was a sunny day. Enjoyable trip though.

Nice area - bad boat - Nice tour to the sights of the harbor. But old boat with bad seats. So jealous on the boats from the other companies down there - much better seating options. Also unfortunate that we had not been recommended to bring our own EarPods so we could have a story in English. Hard to understand the German guide.

There was a boat and there was hamburg - Was booked on English tour. Was put on a non English boat. Despite asking twice if this was the English one. It was a round trip of the harbour
