Anna was such a great guide. Lots of knowledge and told many stories in an entertaining and engaging way. Was great with our two boys (14 and 12) and really thought how to keep them interested. It was a fabulous couple of hours, really helped us get to know Hamburg and orientate these first time visitors to the city. Anna was also super flexible in the tour time and also the route as we had a certain destination in mind. Anna even gave us some great restaurant tips and helped with other useful bits of information. Would 100% recommend Anna.Fab tour around Hamburg with Anna

The walking tour of the city with Anna was fantastic. She already knew what I was looking for as she and I had messaged each other prior to the tour. As a result, she had customized our walking tour to my interests and needs. She showed me various sites off the beaten path and she shared a bit of the history of each one of them. The biggest highlight was our visit to the Port. We took photos, took the ferry, got immersed into the culture, the people, the food, everything was great. Anna gave me several tips and suggestions on everything I had asked her for and it made my curiosity and desire of exploring the city even greater for the remainder of my stay in Hamburg. Thank you so much, Anna. I'll be back to visit again, for sure. Get your phone ready for more photos :-)Anna, a walking source of knowledge!

Can't rate Gustavo's tour, because he never showed up. Meeting place clearly said St. Michaelis Church, but Gustavo want to St. Nikolai Church. He said he would come to the correct location, and I provide exact details of where we were waiting (Entrance No. 2, across from Besucherzentrum. About 20 min. later, he texted he was on the other side of the streat by the statute of Michaelis (?). Note - this statue is on the side of the church on a roof and not across the street. We waited for over 30 minutes and I finally texted we had to leave. Very disappointing experience, especially since this was a national holiday and nothing was open.Guide never showed up
