About this experience

Experience Hamburg through a private guided walking tour. You can select from several options based on your interests and time availability. The 2-hour tour focuses on the Old Town, including visits to St. Peter’s Church, the Town Hall, Alsterarkaden, and Thalia Theater. For a more in-depth experience, the 3-hour tour adds Speicherstadt to the itinerary. The 4-hour tour includes both Speicherstadt and visits to St. Michael’s Church and St. Peter’s Church, along with key Old Town highlights. The extensive 6-hour tour covers the Port of Hamburg, Speicherstadt, and Old Town, and includes visits to St. Michael’s and St. Peter’s Church & Tower, as well as tickets for a guided tour of Rickmer Rickmers. This tour is suitable for individuals or groups, but is not ideal for those seeking a fast-paced experience. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for varying weather conditions.
