Extremely disappointing experience – not worth your time or money We were expecting a unique beer-tasting experience paired with local insights and authentic Hamburg flair. Instead, we got supermarket Desperados, drinking beer from bottles on the street, and a rushed visit to a single beer cellar – which, ironically, served the only decent beer of the day. The so-called “beer tasting” in a loud restaurant/disco was chaotic. There were five tasting boards for nine people, and the beers served were bland at best. Definitely not a curated or premium selection. Our guide was friendly, but unfortunately added no value. He was often on his phone and provided no real stories or background – just walking us around aimlessly. In total, we paid €36,00 per person – which essentially bought us a cheap crate of beer and a casual walk through the city. Hamburg deserves better. This tour does not reflect the local beer culture or heritage in any meaningful way.

Itinerary
The Hamburg City Hall is the seat of the Hamburg citizenship and the Senate of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. The architecturally magnificent building on the Little Alster was built from 1886 to 1897 in the historicist style of the Neo-Renaissance
As a model for the design of the town hall market was the St. Mark's Square in Venice, which also opens to the water. The plan of the ensemble with an open staircase and the design of the Little Alster, Alster Arcades, Lock Bridge, Town Hall and other buildings was designed in 1842.
The Jungfernstieg (from Low German Stieg for "Steig") in Hamburg is a street on the southern bank of the Inner Alster in downtown Hamburg. It runs from the Reesendammbrücke to the Gänsemarkt. Here it is a matter of seeing and being seen.
Deichstraße is a street in the city center of Hamburg and has the last remaining ensemble of old Hamburg town houses in the city. Therefore, it has historical value and has an important tourist importance. With the Cremon's storage group preserved on the other side of the Nikolaifleet, a relic of old Hamburg has been preserved.
The main evangelical church of St. Michaelis (popularly: Michel) is the most famous church building in Hamburg and is considered the most important baroque church in northern Germany. The sacral building with its striking architecture, which is visible from afar, has long been the symbol of the Hanseatic city for shipping on the Elbe.
Traditionally, the small business was and is strongly represented in this quarter, especially the gastronomy. The presence of numerous "harbor pubs" gave today's Portuguese Quarter the name "The Coast" in the 1950s and 1960s. In the 2000s, there was a significant increase in the number of catering establishments, so that in 2011 there were around 40 cafés and restaurants.
The St. Pauli Landungsbrücken are a large landing stage for passenger ships on the northern edge of the port of Hamburg. The jetties are located in the St. Pauli district of Hamburg between Niederhafen and St. Pauli Fischmarkt on the Elbe.
The St. Pauli-Elbtunnel, opened in 1911 - also known as the Alter Elbtunnel in contrast to the New Elbe Tunnel, which has existed since 1975 - passes under the Norderelbe with a length of 426.5 meters and connects the northern harbor edge at the St. Pauli landing bridges (north entrance with two tunnel tubes) ) with the Elbe island Steinwerder (south entrance). It is used as a public traffic route by pedestrians and cyclists as well as to a limited extent by motor vehicles. It was considered a technical sensation when it opened, has been a listed building since 2003 and was awarded the title Historic Landmark of Engineering in Germany by the Federal Chamber of Engineers and the Hamburg Chamber of Engineers on September 7, 2011.
World-famous red light district with bars, pubs, clubs, strip clubs, brothels, etc.
Park Fiction has been an artistic and socio-political project in Hamburg since the mid-1990s.

We had a great tour with Florian today. He is very knowledgeable and showed us many of the sights of Hamburg. Would recommend!
We were at the right place at the right time for the start of our tour but no one showed up. Our advice: don't book this tour!
The trip was ok. But we experienced a few unexpected things. 1. The trip was moved 1,5 hours shortly before start. 2. We were 25 participants instead of the max 15 advertised. We followed a completely different and not so exciting route as the one advertised. But good trip if you enjoy the unforeseen and drinking beer in public.
Bela provided a very informative and entertaining beer tour. He had to adjust which he did quite due to the triathlon.
Some good information about Town Hall and Hamburg. One of the beers was from a can so not really a great experience on that part but we did end up at good brewery with nice food at the end.
Florian was a fantastic host and guide. His pride for his city is evident in this fun and interesting tour.
Due to a tour guide being sick I ended up being switched to the Reeperbahn walking tour. I enjoyed the Reeperbahn tour very much. Our guide Florian was very knowledgeable of the history of the area and also had a lot of funny and thought provoking stories.
This trip does not include a free wristband to clubs in Hamburg. The tour guide also canceled twice.
Learnt loads bout hamburg and other recomendations to visit also,small group size was good,tour guide was funny and beer samples were lovely
Nobody showed up. Could not contact the tour operator on any of the numbers out on the trip advisor page. I have asked for a refund but t sure if I’ll get a response!
Absolutely brilliant tour - loads of fun, laughing and of course excellent beer. Highly recommended.
The guide, Florian is informative guy with the sense of humour. He respects the time and is flexible. Recommended if you like an informal approach to sightseeing.
It was a fun trip between the town hall and the storage quarter. Very friendly and flexible guide. I am not much of a beer drinker but he did a good job making the group feel comfortable and fulfilling their requests on the tour.
No one turned up, waited for 15 mins before the time and 30 mins after the time and no one showed up at all (for both our tour at 1pm or the following tour at 1:30pm). Couldn’t contact the tour operator to see where they were. Avoid at all cost.
We waited at the agreed meeting point. No one came. We got our money back through TripAdvisor. Had we known that, we could have planned differently. It was a shame that we wanted to treat our visitors from Australia.
Our guide Stephan was very great. Very informative and funny. The beers were also very good. Beer and history - perfect
Super visite, guide extraordinaire. Il est recommandé de faire cette visite l’après midi car une bière à 10h ( compliqué pour les filles).
Super Flori, we had a really good time with you. We even liked one or the other beer.:-P Greetings from Bavaria!
