We had a WONDERFUL experience on the harbor cruise. Our guide was fun and entertaining (even if we don't speak German). He gave us the QR code to read up on the sites in our home language (English) and we toured more sites than we originally thought. The reception person at the check in site was also very kind, helpful and directed us on where we needed to be. Would absolutely take this cruise again and highly recommend it to others traveling.
Captain had a good sense of humor and obviously knowledgeable as he talked alot. Unfortunately we presumed it had audio assistance. And even though we said we spoke English no one mentioned that the tour was a spoken one all in German so didn't understand any of it. 🤣 would've been nice to have been offered an English speaking one, but our fault for booking the wrong tour
The trip was overall okay, but, unfortunately, I had booked a cruise with english descritption of the landscape but it was only possible in german and with no headphones.
Easy to find the boat tour provider. Super-friendly people on the boat and a super-friendly guide.

It is a good way to see Hamburg from a different perspective. We attended on a relatively mild and sunny day, which allowed us to take our seats on the outside terrace of the ship, from which we were able to take some very nice photographs. Contrary to the description, we were not given any audio guides in languages other than German, but since this was not our first visit to the city, it was fine anyway. Good experience, I would recommend it.

We really enjoyed the tour through the harbor and the Speicherstadt. Captain Markus gave us a lot of interesting information in an amusing and entertaining way. We also liked the fact that we were able to sit outside in the back of the boat despite the cold and damp weather. You can find a few drawn impressions of me on Instagram under heweneca. I've also tagged you there.

No audio guide. Overcrowded boat. You had to walk 10 minutes to reach the boat from the meeting point at the docks. The description of the cruise on the website is not clear enough.

Skipper Kai always has a quick wit on his lips and can say something about everything going on in the harbor. Don't even get us started on Omar, the most sought-after young man west of the Elbe... You have to experience it live.

The lights tour with a trip through the Speicherstadt took place WITHOUT the Speicherstadt. The reason given was the flood. Certainly correct, but then the question arises as to why this is offered if it cannot take place. The organizer can check in advance whether it is high tide or not. As a customer, this should not be my job.

Speakers slightly too loud
Good experience, friendly staff & humourous commentary!
As the supervisor of a small youth group, I didn't realize when I booked that it was already dark at that time. One thing to criticize is that there was a poor connection at the rear, more loudspeakers in the rear area would be an advantage. Otherwise everything was fine.

Very interesting tour of the port. I had booked a tour with English translation, but unfortunately we didn't get it.
View original review in French
The tour was very interesting, but in the pictures it looked like there were more lights - a bit more "romantic". Unfortunately, we only saw the shore of the harbor and a few container/freight ships, which was still interesting and worth seeing.

We really only stood in traffic jams with the hop-on-hop-off in Hamburg. Most of the time only heard music and only 1 or 2 interesting facts from a band. Sound was OK in itself. Got off halfway through and went to lunch, did not re-enter. Will never do a hop-on again.
View original review in Dutch
The driver was very helpful and allowed me to get on the bus early so I was not standing alone. However the audio guide was quite hard to hear whilst the live guide was also going on close by. The stops were much less frequent and I found it quite hard to figure out where to alight. On this day there was also a broken down vehicle and we all had to get off, unfortunately no instructions were given in English and I decided to abandon the tour at this point.
There's no many things that I loved.
Because of traffic disruption due to slagermoove festival, we were never able to get on a bus. We would like to be reimbursed
The bus tour was cancelled and I wasn't informed. I waited at the bus stop until I eventually called a call center available only in English. The employee didn't know about the cancellation, tried to convince me the bus would be coming. Eventually I managed to find the info myself and they requested me to send them a screenshot. Only then did they agree to a refund. I had booked a package - bus + philarmonic tour. I wanted to cancel the philarmonic tour, since I was so unhappy with the company. They refused and only refunded the bus tour. Bad experience, don't book with them, not trustworthy!!!
There were no buses. I demand the return of the money.

Nothing. Never was able to use the ticket because of traffic congestion. Busses not running.
The boat tour was very good. The bus tour was not, the bus runs too infrequently. You don't get any information about the individual stops beforehand regarding boarding, the audio guide was not informative enough. Individually rated full points for the boat tour, no points for the bus

It is a nice way to explore the city by a chilly day. The driver was very helpfull Really affordable At the end of the day, no buses show up, the schedule was not clear so I wasn't able to finish the ride.
The hop-on bus we had booked on the blue line simply didn't make it to the Landungsbrücken stop and we had to buy another ticket from the red double-decker to enjoy a round trip after all. That was also okay. The tour guide of the red double-decker told us that this unfortunately happens more often with the blue line - you can knock rudely if that helps. lg Karl Ebster-Schwarzenberger

It's a great way to see central Hamburg and learn a bit about the city and covers quite a bit of territory which would be missed if you don't have a car or other personal transport. The audio in English was a bit hard to hear sometimes as the German on the speakers is very loud.
The driver was very friendly and always made jokes in between was very interesting information unfortunately some things were closed due to the marathon but he always knew a way out thank you very much

We were very lucky that Hamburg, for once, showed itself from its most beautiful sunny side, and was even dressed up for Christmas! The trip was a great experience for us as Hamburgers - to rediscover our own city in a relaxed way with "tourist eyes", accompanied by interesting historical and current information "from the tape" and enriched with very humorous additions from the dedicated bus driver Christian. We had a lot of fun and can warmly recommend this little break from everyday life.

Their advertising described a guided tour of the concert halls. Nothing was! Just the outside and the terrace. Tour guide came later, heated through the hour and was gone again. I threw 5 tickets out the window! Never again Headout! Unfair competition I will pass this on to the consumer advice center and tourist info. I could have bought the whole thing myself for less than 10 euros. On top of that the total chaos with the vouchers for the Franzbrötchen and coffee. There were beer vouchers that nobody wanted. Pure chaos!

Our guide told the story of the planning and construction of the Elbphilharmonie with a lot of humor and anecdotes. The history of the port of Hamburg was not neglected either. In terms of organization, the timing was very good. The only small suggestion for improvement was that we found the meeting point relatively difficult to find. This certainly had something to do with the harbor festival. Perhaps a more central location (e.g. directly in front of the entrance to the Elbphilharmonie) would be better for all those who don't know Hamburg inside out :-).

I explicitely chose this trip because of the audio guide in English. There was NO AUDIO GUIDE provided. The guide then said, that he would speak German, because "you know, there are german people here". He meant this as a joke, but I did not find it funny. He repeated a small percentage of the information in English during the tour. At the end of the tour the crew requested tip agressively, stating how much they want per person, and pushed the dish in which they collected the money to people's face during the disambarkation. Fully unacceptable.
The explanations of the individual sights were really great.

The river cruise was great, a complete tour of the best areas of Hamburg. As a point of improvement to point out that in the reservation it is indicated that there are audio guides in several languages, but once on the boat no one offered them, and the experience would be great to be able to understand the explanations of the captain.

Need english audio guide. We specificly bought it for that. But it was not available or introduced in any way.
No one was at the listed meeting point by Überseebrucke. Luckily, we found the ship on our own in time, but the information given was incorrect. Also, the staff made no effort to provide the audio guide for non-German speakers. They immediately began the tour in German and I was not given instructions for how to access English audio until I asked - about halfway through the tour. Aside from these logistic issues, the tour itself was nice.
Great trip, super nice and informative captain! Highly recommended!

As everyone said in the comments, it's not at all clear where the meeting place is. You could assume that you have to wait on the pontoon by the 'get your guide' flags and that the captain will pick you up (you don't really need to be 30 min before). No one gave us the audio guide in English. I had to interrupt the guide in his explanations for him to tell me (in a not very courteous way, as if it was obvious) that we had to download an application. You could put explanations on the tables with a QR code. But I suppose that's for people who book directly with 'get your guide'. Incidentally, this audio guide isn't very extensive and seemed much less than the German guide's commentary.
View original review in French
There was no marked meeting point for this tour, we showed up 25 minutes early and no one was there. We had to ask inside a shop. English audio guide was offered, we were pointed to the boat by the captain and there was no opportunity to get information about audio guide as we tried to get seats for our family together. The boat was very worn down. There were toilets on board, however no other amenities. No options for drinkable water. Overall we saw the harbour, but had to google what we were looking at and wished we would have booked a different company. The tour was also late arriving back. This was hugely overpriced and not recommended for English speaking folks.
No audio guide and only German. No signs at the port to find boarding
