Despite this growth, we stay true to our values: be local and present the history of our cities in a professional, yet entertaining way, accessible for everybody, regardless their budget. We provide service not only in big, well established places like Berlin, Paris or Krakow, but also smaller, less known, yet no less fascinating locations, like Nice, Toruń or Lublin.

Tour description

 Shaped by water, trade, and resilience, Hamburg is a city like no other. With its bustling harbor, historic canals, and striking architecture, it has long been a meeting point for merchants, travelers, and dreamers. From the UNESCO-listed Speicherstadt to the futuristic Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg blends past and present seamlessly. But beyond its landmarks, the city has fascinating stories to tell—join our Hamburg walking tour and hear them all!


This 2-hour 15-minute tour starts at the magnificent Rathaus (Town Hall) before taking you along the scenic Alster Lake, a spot that has inspired poets and painters for centuries. We’ll walk down Deichstraße, Hamburg’s oldest street, and explore the Speicherstadt, the world’s largest warehouse district. You’ll visit the haunting ruins of St. Nikolai Church, a reminder of wartime destruction, and see how Hamburg has transformed with a visit to HafenCity, a sleek modern waterfront district. The tour ends at the spectacular Elbphilharmonie, an architectural masterpiece offering breathtaking views over the city.
