If you are travelling on a cruise ship to the port of Kiel and have only one day on shore, let us take you on a fascinating, all-encompassing journey to Hamburg!

Hamburg is second largest city in Germany after Berlin and it is one of the most beautiful and exciting cities in Europe. It became a well-known tourist destination due to its wild, red light district but is now attracting a more discerning clientele with its modern architecture in the form of the Elbphilharmonie, Speicherstadt, and the Hafencity, not to mention the canals, Alster, stunning Rathaus and high end shopping.

This shore excursion is adjusted to each ship’s docking times and starts promptly after your vessel’s arrival, returning with plenty of time to spare before its departure. Our expert team has been organizing these tours for nearly a decade. We have never missed a cruise ship’s departure and imparted our knowledge and enthusiasm for our unique and beautiful city to thousands of satisfied passengers!

Very disorganized at pier departure. Excellent guide once he joined in Hamburg. Didn’t need 2 hours of free time. Could have seen more and still have one free hour
Excellent tour guide and a fast comprehensive look at Hamburg

We were quite happy with BRENT our guide for this tour. He joined us on the outskirts of Hamburg. A native of California he has lived in Hamburg for over 20 years. We saw many different neighborhoods and had several stops on a walking tour. My only Negative issue was that some sites I had really look forward to, such as SPEICHERSTADT, were seen only from the Bus and the better view of course was on the other side of the bus from where I was seated. Oh well. We had almost 2 hours of free time after our Bus tour and several walk around stops. That was quite nice and Brent made recommendations where to go for eating and shopping. Our driver was quite excellent and got us there and back each way in less than one and 1/2 hours so that optimized our time in Hamburg.
