Ride the red Line A double-decker in Hamburg for a 1-day hop-on, hop-off tour with GPS headset audio and stops by Speicherstadt, HafenCity, and Reeperbahn.

“A very comprehensive ride around the city. The audio did not always work, so missed a few points. Not given a map when boarding, had to go back and get one. No obvious place to return the earpiece when leaving the bus. Driver was obviously a character as the Germans on board were regularly chuckling to his remarks.”
