We start our walk through the history of Hamburg at Hammaburg Platz,
the birthplace and nursery of Hamburg and learn how Hamburg got its name.
Then we continue our tour of Hamburg's Kontorhausviertel,
the former center of Hamburg merchants, and his brick-accounting.
We look at the prima ballerina of the Kontorhäuser under her pretty ballerina skirt.
Looking critically at the founding charter of our port, and discovering one or the other contradiction.
We continue to walk to Speicherstadt, immerse ourselves in the red gorges of brick and their stories,
clarify what Westphalen has to do with Hamburg and why workers lived there in a castle.
We find out exactly what Schutenschupser and Ewerführer did and why there are coffee barons and Persians in Hamburg.
At the end you have the opportunity to end the tour in a coffee roaster in an old store.

5.00Very interesting information and insights into Hamburg (trade) history and architecture. Marius opened doors and gave us insights that many Hamburgers are alien to.

5.00The tour with Marius through Hamburg was a real highlight of our overall wonderful stay in the city. His Hamburg humor coupled with well-assembled background knowledge made the 2 hours pass far too quickly. When we come back, one of his other themed tours will certainly be a part of the program. Even for the further stay he gave us plenty of good tips. An absolute recommendation from us.
Very nice guided tour and explanation through part of Hamburg 😊

5.00The meeting point is easy to reach and the weather has also played along. Our tour guide Marius is very pleasant and has brought Hamburg much closer to you. He explained many interesting things and also very understandable. He answered all the questions and answered the question in the group. To illustrate many things, he has shown around a tablet with pictures. After the tour you can give a tip, which I was also very happy to do; considering what the tour even costs 😄 If I am in Hamburg again, I will book Marius again! Greetings Patrick
