5.00A wonderful house with a very well maintained garden with large swimming pool. Valérie, the hostess, exudes charm and is always well laid out and very helpful. Breakfast can be arranged individually. The man of Valérie, excellent chef, spoils guests here and there with delicious menus. We like to go back anytime.
Fabulous Walking Tour.

5.00Aline was amazing, a wealth of knowledge and so bubbly! We covered over 10 miles on foot and didn’t notice as we were so engaged. She had taken the time to learn our backgrounds and interests, knew everyone by name. What a delightful time!

Seeing central Hamburg

5.00I spent 4 hours on a mostly walking tour (with a few metro rides) with Dave who showed me around central Hamburg. The tour was thorough, the pace was comfortable, and I felt I was able to get a real feel for the city and it’s residents. Dave was knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. I did this tour as a day trip from Berlin which I think worked out well for me.
A great day in Hamburg
