Fleetfahrt tour

It's an interesting trip around the warehouse district of Hamburg, including travelling through the locks. And a great way to see the city from a different angle. However, the tour presentation is in German only. The audio guide for non-German speakers has commentary on some...More

Quiet boring (if you don't speak german)

We had high expectations before the (2 hour)tour, but became quiet dissapointed when we realized that the guide only spoke german. The trip felt very long and 1 hour would have been more than enough..

Not for tourists who does not speak German

Went with my wife on a two hour boat trip and we were both quite surprised that the guide only spoke German. The trip itself was nice and relaxing (except for the young kid who was very bored) and if you need to see something...More

I was tempted to rate it with 3 stars because I honestly have no clue what the guide was talking about - and interestingly, the person who sold cruise tickets didn't state that the guide will be conducted in german even though I am clearly...More
