3-hour Hamburg Private City Tour

Enjoy a comprehensive overview of Hamburg's fascinating history and must-see sites with your private tour guide

ABOUT THE 3-hour Hamburg Private City Tour

This 3-hour private tour will introduce you to Hamburg's top attractions and walk you through the history of the port city. Your expert local tour guide will take you to must-see sights such as the Town Hall, the UNESCO-listed Speicherstadt, and Hafen City, as well as walking you through crucial historical events such as the city's WWII bombing and the Great Fire.

 

Join us on a tour of Hamburg’s greatest treasures

Germany’s second-largest city boasts a proud seafaring history, and one of the first things visitors notice about Hamburg is how strongly this is woven into the city’s identity. For the warehouse district of Speicherstadt, for example, its stunning waterside architecture and canal system proved so impressive to outsiders that the entire area gained UNESCO status in 2015. The city’s official moniker - the ‘Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg’ - is a throwback to its leading role in the Hanseatic League, a medieval merchant union of largely maritime city-states in the Baltics and Northern Europe, and one of the city’s most infamous characters was the pirate Störtebeker.

Together with an expert local guide, you’ll explore each of these fascinating aspects of Hamburg on this 3-hour private tour. You will also explore the Trostbrücke, Church Jacobi, the WWII bombing of Hamburg, the Great Fire of 1842, and much more!

Booking an extended private tour affords visitors total flexibility, meaning guests can move through sights and attractions at a pace that suits them personally. By reaching out to us in advance, it is also possible to tailor your itinerary to include a starting time, date or place that is not available online, or to focus on specific topics or areas that are of interest to you.

Explore Hamburg at your own pace

This 3-hour private tour covers the main must-see sights of Hamburg at a leisurely pace. You also have the option of stopping off for a coffee or a snack partway through. More time with your expert local guide means that you’ll get great inside scoops about museums, theatres, clubs or about the best local food and wines that will make the rest of your trip to Hamburg a memorable one.
