The tour was only on German and we accepted that it will be around some historical part of the city instead it was outside of the center. There were a lot of construction work around us. If don't speak German I would not recommend it.
Had a lovely drive and boat ride my first experience with the Riverbus. Amazing and the commentary was funny they should have a English translation with earbud/earphones for those who don’t understand German.
What an experience! Interesting to see and hear about the HafenCity development, followed by a swim in the river. Unfortunately commentary is only in German, but it's well worth it.
It was great, but the water part of the journey was not interesting (especially compared to similar activity in Budapest). The crew was really nice and the guide was charismatic
It was a great experience specialy for my kid 10 years old.... 21 e for child 30 e for adults.... yes... i know.. expensive but no problem... and the captain + the driver super great... DANKE.
