“We really enjoyed the boat trip. Lots of interesting things to see . However , we did find it difficult as non German speakers to understand everything that was seen . It was obvious that the German tour guide was being well received and entertaining , so we did feel quite left out . We were not offered audio guides .”

An express 1-hour Elbe harbor cruise in Hamburg, taking in Speicherstadt canals, the Elbe Tunnel, Fish Market, and port views.

“Supposed to meet boat at Dock 1 for 2pm (leaves every 30 mins). Boat never came and was told Dock 4. Went to Dock 4 and boat was not there. I was told boats stopped running at 4pm and website/tickets say 6pm. Asked for refund and was denied. Horrible company to work with. They should’ve refunded my $42 without any questions. Buyer Be Aware!!!”
