“A very enjoyable afternoon cycling around Hamburg. Our guide was very friendly, humorous and knowledgeable. The bike was a comfortable upright city bike, and there were plenty of helmets available in various sizes. We had to take shelter for about 20 mins in the middle of the tour, due to a thunderstorm with lightning., after which the sun came out again. But I am told this is all part of the Hamburg experience. 😀 I would recommend taking a light rain jacket and, if you suffer from allergies or asthma, your usual medications. The tree pollen was quite strong around Planten un Blomen, and also in the Portugese quarter after…”

“Our guide was friendly but the tour only including quant working class neighborhoods with extensive graffiti. We did visit two churches and viewed a large bunker built during World War Two. I was hoping to learn about Hamburg’s history and see some iconic sites. It was a nice day for a bike ride but do not feel I really saw anything unique to Hamburg. Very disappointed. We also paid for a private tour for four (a tour for two was not an option) but other guests joined us.”
