Very informative and quaint ride. The captain is a primordial rock and his trainee Juri led the tour entertainingly. In addition, Yuri was very patient and devoted to answering questions to our children (9 and 12). The two hours were up very quickly and was great fun for everyone 😊 Highly recommended 👍
Part of it for Hamburg absolutely!

We did the boat tour in the late morning at low tide. The boats are made entirely of glass, so everyone has a good view in their seat. The staff on board were very nice and helpful and really on top of it! The tour guide was really funny and was able to introduce a lot of knowledge in a funny way in a well-understood Hamburg accent. Although you are on a river, you should be aware that the North Sea is nearby and it is not comparable to other small calm inland waters - in some places you can already experience quite a swell. I found the Speicherstadt particularly interesting to see (as I said, we were just in low tide). So if you are in Hamburg, you should not miss this main transport hub! With a bit of luck you can get very close to big cruise giants or celebrity yachts. Prices on the boat are reasonable.
