Here you will follow in the footsteps of the Hanseatic merchants, the so-called Pfeffersäcken. The cathedral-like inner courtyards on the Dutch Brook make it clear that it was not the church but trade and money that determined everyday life in Hamburg.  After this journey to the past, visit the newest and most modern part of the city, Hafencity.

We were in Hamburg on Ascension Day. Lots of happy people everywhere. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great and the museums were getting crowded... But we were able to start the scavenger hunt exactly when it was dry. We were able to interrupt them at great playgrounds and even finished the second part on a different day because it got really too wet. It was perfect! Also for boys who don't belong in the category "heavy readers". Compact information, great route, funny language, feel for detail. We are very enthusiastic and will certainly repeat it in other cities!

We practically had a private tour with dear Caro. There were only two of us, or three with Caro. The tour was cool, interesting and really fun. Caro is a good and authentic guide and also had some tips for our stay in Hamburg in addition to the tour.

Explore Hamburg on foot with lots of information. Answer questions and take a close look. Very good idea, we really liked it. We missed the note in the cover letter that you should take spare clothes for children (playground with water).

A great combination of light cycling and sightseeing! Many thanks to Lucca, our guide, who showed us great places in the city. Recommendation!

We had the tour with Martina. She was nice and the whole thing was both interesting and informative.
