What people are saying about Lübeck

Nice trip with the family, we will definitely do it next time we come to Lübeck. The staff were nice and accommodating. We had booked a trip, but were allowed to get on an earlier one. We were not aware that you could only pay for drinks in cash. It was a shame, because it would have been even better if you could have enjoyed a beer/soda at the same time. I would have liked that when booking, you also order and pay for drinks for the trip.

Tolle Möglichkeit, die Stadt aus einem anderen Blickwinkel zu sehen. Die Tour ist sehr informativ mit interessanten Informationen rund um die Stadt. Der Kapitän bringt die Infos sehr lebendig auf norddeutsche Art rüber. Sehr zu empfehlen. Würden wir immer wieder machen.

Although we arrived in Lübeck with a delay, it was absolutely no problem to move the boat tour to another time. The boat tour was very relaxed and the tour guide was really funny and easygoing. It was a lot of fun. I can only recommend!

A nice boat trip to get to know Lübeck a little better than just the old town. You get a good overview.

Nice sailing trip, got to see and hear a lot about Lübeck.
