Great tour of Hamburg with our tour guide Savvy. - This was a tip-based tour booked via FreeTours.com. The actual tour company was Walkative. The tour was terrific. Savvy, our tour guide, was outstanding. In about 2 1/4 hours, he gave us a lot of history, going back in time, past the great fire of 1842, and up to the present day. He told us good stories to match the history. He was incredibly well versed in everything Hamburg, and gave us information in a very entertaining way. Terrific guide, great tour.

The Sympathetic Burgers - Very good visit, despite being relatively short and not giving time to enter/go up to churches and having to do it later on your own. Jam is native but very talkative, and not only tells you the history and curiosities of the city, but makes it enjoyable by making jokes about the city with a friendly humor very particular to German seriousness and describes quite a lot the personality and life of the burgers themselves as the

The perfect introduction to "Hammaburg" - Moin moin! We were doing the tour of Hamburg’s historic center on Monday 14/10 with JAN, our friendly Guide, with eight hamburger surnames. It was very fun and instructive and gave us a great perspective to get to know the city and then move around it. Very happy with the experience, the perfect combination between historical information, customs, curiosities and character of the burgers. The perfect cocktail of information to enjoy 100% of the city. Definitely the most remarkable thing our Jan Guide: polite, friendly, fun and always attentive. It would be an honor to repeat when you return to Hamburg, so highly recommended. I wish there were more than five stars to give.
