Our representatives will be waiting for you outside the terminal entrance.
We adjust each tour’s starting time to the docking times of the cruise ship. In case a cruise ship is late or changes its itinerary, we amend the tour starting time accordingly.
In the event of heavy traffic, road blockages, special events, or unforeseen circumstances the tour itinerary may be subject to change. We cannot take responsibility for such incidents and refunds will not be provided.
At the end of the tour, you will be dropped off back at your cruise ship
This shore excursion of Hamburg starts directly in front of the your cruise ship docking in the port of Kiel. Our hosts will greet you when your ship docks and show you to a modern, air-conditioned bus. The journey takes 1.5-2 hours each way.
An experienced local guide will meet you upon your arrival, share insight into the local history; and take you to the most prominent places in Hamburg. You will first enjoy a stroll through the historic heart of Hamburg and see the stunning Town Hall while learning about the role of Hamburg in the Hanseatic League.
Afterward, we will cross over the Trost bridge, visit the St Nikolai Church, still a burnt-out shell of a church, and hear about the near-total destruction of the city during World War II. We continue with the oldest street in Hamburg, Deichstrasse. Close by is the Elbe River and the scenic Landungsbrucke river walk.
From here we will get back on the bus and head over to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Speicherstadt where goods coming in and out of the city were once stored, and the Hafencity, the newest area of the city.
We will also show you the Elbphilharmonie - the world-famous architectural wonder!
After the tour, you will have 1 hour to explore the city on your own, do souvenir shopping and get lunch (not included in the price of the tour)
At the end of the visit, our bus will bring you back to the port, with at least 1.5 hours to spare before its departure.
