If guests wish to take a break or not, it is entirely their choice. Some guests prefer a short break, others enjoy a longer one with tea/coffee, and some prefer to do the tour without a break at all.

Since this is your own private tour, it will proceed at your pace! Whether you want to take a break or not can be decided spontaneously on the day with your guide.

This tour typically covers a total of 1.5 km (1 mile) on foot.

We will be walking over very flat terrain at a relaxed pace, with opportunities to stop at each location. Most (but not all) locations offer seating where you can rest.

If you feel this distance is too far for your group, we can offer a more compact route to minimize the walking distance further. For those unable to walk, a vehicle can be arranged. Please contact us directly for these options.

The meeeting point will be at "Hamburg Townhall (Rathausmarktplatz)". To be exact we will meet in front of the large stone WW1 memorial located on the west side of the square directly on the water and you will recognize your guide as they will stand outside wearing a name badge to make them easy to spot.

Don't worry however, as part of the booking process you are required to fill in your telephone number. We then use this to send you a reminder the evening before your tour which includes the time, date, the meeting point and contact details for your guide. The guide will also have your contact details, so as we can call or message you if for any reason you are having trouble finding us.

As we say in Hamburg, "There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing!"

Our tours take place rain, hail, or shine. If poor weather is forecast, we encourage all guests to dress appropriately. Of course, in such cases, we can also adjust our routes to spend more time inside and less outside.

Experience Hamburg Tours will not cancel a tour due to bad weather—don’t worry!

Sadly, it is not possible for us to add guests to another group's tour, as we only offer private group tours. We ask for your understanding, as we do not currently offer public tours where individuals typically join a larger group.

The good news is that if you wish to book a private tour with us, groups start with just 1 person!

Our tours are priced per group, not per person, as we charge for the guide's time, not the number of guests attending.

One hour of guiding costs €100, meaning a 2-hour tour costs €200 per group. Group size is determined by the guest, with a maximum group size of 25 persons allowed. For example, if you book as a group of 25 people, the group price of €200 would be shared, working out to €8 per person.

We offer the option of a vehicle and driver. Anyone can book this add-on, we actively recommend it only for those unable to walk the distance of the tour, but not as a way to see "more."

Some guests may wish to book a vehicle to see "more." However, as much of Hamburg is pedestrianized, it is often no faster to move from A to B by vehicle than it is to walk or use public transit. Therefore, booking a vehicle does not mean you will see twice as much in the same amount of time. Even with a vehicle, we can only cover the same number of stops with the group.

To see "more," our advice is to contact us to arrange an extended tour or consider booking an additional tour. To see more, we need more time with you!
