A 2-hour XXL cruise through Hamburg’s working port, locks, and canals, with German live narration, multilingual audio, and close-up skyline views.
“It is a nice two-hour tour; however, the live guide is only in German. Make sure to bring your headphones and follow the tour on the app. It is not as expressive as the live guide makes it, yet it is still very informative. It is great value, and having the smaller boat allows access to the slimmer canals in the very cool warehouse district, which is a must-see. I would go again!”
