“I did a similar tour in Feiryberg and it was perfect. So I thought I would try this one for Hamburg. Unfortunately there is a ton of construction going around the city and these maps are not quite updated. So I had to kind of figure it out on my own. Also, if it’s super busy in the summertime, you might be super annoyed with this tour. I went in the 2nd weekend of May during the Harbor Day celebration. The streets were so crowded that I really could not do this tour properly. I could not focus on listening because I was too worried about getting through traffic safely…”
