Hamburg Rundgang: Altstadt, Speicherstadt & HafenCity

Savvy was an amazing tour guide - definitely one of the best we’ve had. He was articulate, knowledgeable, engaging and humorous. The time just flew by…well done Savvy!

Nice experience with Savvy

We did both tours with Savvy on different days. We enjoyed both tours very much and got a lot out of our stay in Hamburg.

Tour with Savvy

Savvy was personable, but a little pushy and aggressive in asking for donations. Knowledgable, but somewhat cavalier with the jokes compared to other tour guides.

Tour with Savvy

Great tour with a enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. I recommend to do the tour at the beginning of your stay in Hamburg since you will get a lot of tips of things to see and do here.

Welcome to Hamburg and St Pauli tour

On Sunday 3.8. on quite cloudy and rainy day I took these 2 tours with Savvy and it was excellent choice for introduction to mine exploration of very vibrant city of Hamburg! Savvy was very pleasant and smiley while giving us interesting facts about his city together with tipps for what to see and experience on our own. Would reccoment both tours with him!!

Enjoyable morning tour with Savvy

This tour was a great introduction to Hamburg. For me personally it was informative but not too heavy on the facts (which I would soon start forgetting). The energy Savvy created with the tour was absolutely invaluable - he made sure everyone was present, could follow, and could hear him well. He was making occasional jokes to dilute the serious nature of the history tours. Everyone seemed pretty engaged throughout. Our group was very international and it's not easy to meet everyone's needs due to cultural biases. I think Savvy did it wonderfully. I personally think these tours should have a minimum recommended contribution, to make sure not only the participants get the best value, but also the guide gets financial reward for their hard work. Especially, ones that enjoy and love what they are doing like Savvy. Thank you very much for this opportunity 🙏

Tour with Savy

Me and my friend joined the tour with Savy, it was very interesting, funny and full of information. :)

Tour with Savvy

Recommend the tour. It was fun and interesting. Getting a lot of information a keeping it easy.

Informative tour with Savvy

I'd been to Hamburg before but saw some different parts of the city with this great, engaging tour. Savvy has a real passion for the city and shares it in an engaging way, keeping the whole group involved. He was always willing to answer questions, as well as providing suggestions for food, drink or other activities in the city once the tour finished. Great way to spend a couple of hours.

Love the introduction walk of Hamburg!

Our guide, Savvy, made the introductory walk of Hamburg fun and interesting with important historical infos. Definitely recommend this to Hamburg first time visitors. Thank u Savvy!

Fabulous.

We had the good fortune to take this tour along with the "Alternative Side" tour with Savvy. He is energetic, erudite, has a terrific sense of humour and delight, and I appreciated the level of professionalism very much.

A Must-Do in Hamburg – Fun, Fascinating, and Full of Local Flavor!

I recently took a walking tour of downtown Hamburg, and it was easily one of the highlights of my trip! From start to finish, the experience was not only fun and engaging but also incredibly informative. Our guide struck the perfect balance between humor and historical depth, making even the most complex parts of Hamburg’s past feel accessible and interesting. We explored iconic landmarks like the stunning Rathaus (City Hall), the historic Speicherstadt warehouse district, and the modern HafenCity development, each with its own rich story. The guide also took us off the beaten path to some hidden gems and local spots that I never would have found on my own. What really stood out was how alive the history felt — we learned about the city’s role in the Hanseatic League, its resilience through World War II, and its rise as a vibrant, modern port city. There were plenty of quirky anecdotes along the way too, which made it all the more memorable. Whether you’re a history buff or just someone looking to get a feel for Hamburg’s character, this walking tour is a fantastic way to experience the city. Wear comfy shoes, bring your curiosity, and prepare to fall in love with Hamburg!

informative, fun, unforgettable

This was a great way to discover Hamburg! The tour was really engaging, well-established and packed with so much interesting info. It never felt boring or overly rehearsed. Savvy personalized it to the needs of our specific group and shared a lot of insight and interesting tidbits and fun facts!

Very informative and enjoyable

The tour was packed with interesting information and historically important places of interest. Thank you Savvy!

One of the best walking tours I've experienced

It was a great old town tour with our guide Savvy. He told us a lot of interesting informations. He answered all our questions and also had some good jokes.

Great, informative and pleasant tour

I enjoyed very much this morning on a tour through the old city with great guide Savvy … he gave us all basic info, in addition je provided some special details which we cant easy find, he was friendly, efficient, proffesional and supportive

Interesting and amusing

Super tour with Savvy this morning. Lots of information delivered with enthusiasm, clarity and humour. We had a great time despite the wind and threat of rain - do go if you can.

Great tour with a great guide - "Savvy"

Thank you, Savvy, for a very good tour. Very entertaining, and lots of great information about Hamburg. You handled the group very well, the pace was perfect, and your voice carried very clearly to all of us. Cheers!

Excellent well worth ut

Savvy, our tour guide, ensures he was heard and understandable. Pace was perfect and so was his knowledge of the subject. Highly recommend .

Great fun!

Just finished a brilliant tour with Savvy around St Pauli and Reepersbahn. It was everything you’d want from a tour - professionally delivered with clarity, fun and enthusiasm. Thanks!

Fun and informative.

This was our second tour with Savvy and we learned so much about the city of Hamburg. The pacing was perfect and we covered a lot of information in many different areas. Would highly recommend.

Hallo Hamburg

We did the morning walking tour with Savvy who was excellent. We learnt so much and enjoyed strollingbthru this magnificent city. We followed thru with some of his recommendations and we were not disappointed. We have booked the Alternative afyernoon walking tour for today which we're looking forward to experiencing. Thanks Savvy for sharing your extensive knowledge about Hamburg.

Tour in English

We also did 2 walking tours (back to back) with Savvy and it was excellent. Pacing and amount of information was just right. Now I know which places I want to return to for more fun (and which I might skip :). Thank you Savvy!

2 Tours with Savvy

Our morning tour was so good and informative we booked a second one in the afternoon. Savvy was a wealth of knowledge and has a great sense of humor. Would highly recommended

Educational

Was given a bunch of knowledge about the place & even heard some jokes that weeent too bad. Still giving it 5 stars but A little feedback. Short of us being called Buddha we can always improve has the organisation considered giving tourists a list of good restaurants, the best day trips, best museums & top activities etc. Most of the other walking tours i’ve been on in numerous European countries does something similar. Additionally as a guide one has to understand that sometimes your guests aren’t going to be involved as you want and that’s okay & it might not be best to say oh boy when no one answers your question or roll your eyes when you ask them to write a review & they are dismissive in their reaction to you not because they didn’t enjoy the tour but maybe they have received bad news regarding their personal life.

Amazing tour

Savvy was an excellent, entertaining guide, and really savvy! I saw so much more of Hamburg than I would have done just wandering around on my own. Was definitely worth doing and a lot of fun.

Super tour with Savvy

Savvy was a very informative and personable guide, we are very happy that we took this walking tour of Hamburg with him

Amazing guide, very informative and interesting tours

Loved both tours (old city and alternative one), Savvy is very knowledgeable and passionate guide, I would strongly recommend to go for both tours, very different and both so interesting!

Very informative nice crowd and tour guide

Really enjoyed my Hamburg tour guide (Indian chap, sorry I've forgotten his name) Nice mixed group of tourists from all over the world. Interesting commentary about the history and culture of Hamburg. Will definitely do more yellow umbrella tours, they are just very well run and organized..... What's not to like about that.

Really enjoyable

We did two tours with Savvy this weekend. He was brilliant - informative and very entertaining. Both tours were great and we would highly recommend. Thank you Savvy

Excellent tour with Savvy

Very knowledgeable and entertaining tour thanks to our guide Savvy.

Totally recommend both old town and alternative walking tours. Not too long not too short. The guide suggested some great spots to see in our own time later + perfect breakfast spot. Thanks Savvy!

Good tour

We enjoyed seeing the Elbe Tunnel and hearing about Hamburg’s role in the history of The Beatles. Savvy is very knowledgeable and entertaining.

Excellent tour

We really enjoyed Savvy’s informative and entertaining tour of the old city. Lots of historical information, lots of tips. Highly recommended.

From Düsseldorf

Got a trip to Hamburg as a birthday present. If you want to get to know Hamburg and have a funny guy leading you ask for savvy. He is super nice, funny and talkative. Within the tour I asked for his perfume because he smells very good 😁 ( he told me the name of the perfume afterwards ).

Great tour with savvy

Savvy-Best Tour Guide in Hamburg!

If you’re visiting Hamburg and want a tour that you’ll actually remember, you need to book with Savvy! From the moment we met him, his incredible energy, humor, and storytelling had us completely hooked. Not only does he know everything about the city—from its history to hidden gems—but he has a way of bringing Hamburg to life that makes you feel like you’re stepping into its stories rather than just hearing them. His passion is contagious, his jokes are on point, and somehow, even the most historical facts felt like an adventure. This wasn’t just a tour; it was an experience. We laughed, we learned, and we walked away with a deep appreciation for Hamburg. If you’re looking for a guide who will make your trip unforgettable, look no further!

Interesting and engaging Hamburg tour with Savvy

Savvy was super good guide. Gave us insights on hamburg’s history and fun/ interesting facts.

Amazing tour with Savy

We had the best tour with savy - he was an amazing tour guide and gave us such a great 2 hour 15 min tour of Hamburg - 10/10 would recommend !

A wonderful introduction to Hamburg

I am super happy and enthusiastic about attending Savvy's excursion on my first ever visit to Hamburg. It was just perfect for me. Savvy's approach is very cheerful, and he gave us plenty of interesting insights, historical information and tips for visiting further sights and saving money. He is professional at holding the attention of the whole group and making people involved in the excursion. Thank you so much Savvy, all the best on your tour guide journey!

Started well but failed to finish well.

Savy's old hamburg walking tour started well enough; small group, relevant history, some corny jokes, but we moved right on along. Until we ended - at the back end of the new concert hall, in what seemed an urban desert between the old town and a new urban development stretching into the distance. No where to sit, eat, relax, look at the old town etc. We had to ask how on earth do we get back to where we started, and were pointed in the right direction. For English speakers in a foreign city, this was not what we expected.

Memorable tour!

I recently had the pleasure of joining a Hamburg city tour led by Savvy, and I can honestly say it was one of the best tours I’ve ever experienced! From the moment we met, Savvy’s enthusiasm and knowledge were palpable. He has an incredible ability to bring the city's rich history to life, seamlessly weaving together fascinating anecdotes and lesser-known facts that made every stop feel special. What really sets Savvy apart is his genuine passion for Hamburg. He not only knew the major landmarks inside and out but also offered unique insights into local culture, hidden gems, tips and off-the-beaten-path spots that I wouldn't have discovered on my own. His humor and engaging storytelling made the entire tour feel like an enjoyable conversation with a friend rather than a lecture. Savvy’s tour was well-paced, interactive, and personalized, ensuring everyone felt involved and had a chance to ask questions. He was also very considerate of the group’s needs, always checking in to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. If you're looking for an unforgettable way to explore Hamburg, I can't recommend Savvy enough. His passion, knowledge, and warmth truly made this tour a highlight of my trip!
