Historische Altstadt von Buxtehude
Buxtehude was first mentioned in 959 and is surrounded by a moat. In the old town is the small Hanseatic port, where the restored sailing ship Margareta welcomes visitors. There are many historical buildings: the old mill, the old town hall, the Stavenort and the imposing Marschtorzwinger, part of the old city wall.
Jork
Jork is located on the river Elbe and is also called the "heart of the Altes Land" because Jork is surrounded by fruit plantations, the largest contiguous fruit growing area in Germany, a cultural landscape that is beautiful in every season. Whether it's the blossoming fruit trees in spring, cherries in summer and the many different types of plums, pears and apples in autumn - Jork offers a variety of leisure activities.

We have used the Big Black Car Company before and found them to be excellent. Heiko met us at the port and took us on a tour of Jork and Stade. We visited an apple farm and tasted apfelkuchen and kirschkuchen which were fantastic. We were treated to a taste of Fancy Eggnog and a shot similar to gin along with a french pastry. We then moved on to Stade and spent an hour wandering on our own. Heiko had all the information we could have wanted on each place we visited and is a fantastic guide. I would highly recommend them. In fact I wish they were in other detinations as they are much better than the ship tours provided and better value.

The day of our tour there was a blizzard in the Hamburg area. Despite that, our guide Eugene took us to Lübeck where we had a lovely visit to the Christmas Market. He was also extremely knowledgeable of the history of the area. First class tour!

We had the most incredible experience exploring the northern gems of Germany with Big Black Car Tours! Over the course of four fantastic day trips from Hamburg, we had the pleasure of visiting Hamburg, Buxtehude, Lüneburg, Lübeck, Schwerin, and Bremen, and every moment was an absolute delight. Our tour guide and driver, Heiko Agustin, was an absolute standout. His professionalism, coupled with his exceptional driving skills, made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout our journey. As an ex-police officer, he possessed an in-depth knowledge of the region, from every corner of Hamburg to the intricacies of the places we visited. One of the highlights of each day was Heiko's thoughtful surprise - he introduced us to delicious local pastries from each place we explored. It was a wonderful way to savor the authentic flavors of the region and added a delightful touch to our experience. Heiko's passion for the North of Germany was palpable, and his ability to share insights about the history, culture, and hidden gems of each location truly enriched our journey. What began as a guided tour quickly evolved into a friendship that we will cherish. If you're planning to explore the beauty of northern Germany, look no further than Big Black Car Tours, and specifically, the exceptional guidance of Heiko Agustin. He's not just a guide; he's a true ambassador of the region and a fantastic companion on your adventure. Don't miss the opportunity to make unforgettable memories with this fantastic team!

Heiko showed up in his big Landrover and took us for an short insight tour of Hamburg before we headed out to Bremen and Luneberg. We would never have seen so much or enjoyed local culture and cuisine in the short day that we had if not for Heiko ! One day we will be back for a longer visit and will be looking for Heiko again.
