Doing what: Hamburg Hop-on Hop-off Tour - Red Double Decker
This is certainly worth doing especially if you are in Hamburg for a very short time - it gives you a good idea of the city. The commentary was very useful and the guide exceptionally friendly. I also recommend the harbour tour.

Doing what: Essential Hamburg Combo: Hop-on Hop-off Tour, Cruise and Lake Alster
Very difficult to locate where to collect our tickets. We had to get them from the bus driver, but nobody knew of Viator. A little symbol of the local companies that Viator are associated with would have been helpful. The Harbour tour was great (once we got onto it). The lake tour was not in English.

Doing what: Hamburg Shore Excursion: Hamburg Hop-On Hop-Off Tour with Harbor Cruise
I'm sorry to say that if you don't understand German, forget this trip particularly the harbour cruise. We sat there like idiot on the harbour cruise while all enjoyed laughter and jokes and not a word of English was spoken. As for the bus tour, I understand and speak a good deal of German although my wife speaks none and i explained to her that what they were explaining in English was about one tenth of what they were saying in German. It would seem that these tours are directed at German tourists and not International. Hamburg is a beautiful city to see but as for the method of our sightseeing I wouldn't waste my money again!!!

Route was fine. Having to go to Central STation in a cab was a bummer. Should have a stop down at the Cruise Port. The English translation was not good. You should inatall speakers and a soundtrack in many languages.

In contrast to every other Hop-on Hop-off bus I have ever taken, this bus service did not have a prerecorded commentary available in different languages. Instead, there was a live commentator on the bus. The problem was that on one bus we took, the commentary was 100% in German and on the other bus it was 90% in German, even though the commentator checked with us to see if we were English-speaking. What commentary we did understand seemed geared to being funny rather than informative. Bottom line: unless you speak German, this bus service cannot be recommended.

Was quite difficult to find bus. There were 2 lines advertised that ran english tours on a consistant basis. But when we tried to find the other line we were told it only runs 2 times a day. When we went back at the time the bus operator said the tour was only in German.

Great tour, much better when it was only English speaking guests, when German guests joined the English was shortened considerably. Worth the money to see the sights in an easy way

We enjoyed the H0-on Hop-off Tour very much indeed. During the day we traveled on 4 or 5 buses with all Tour Guides speaking very good English. All in all the tour very good and good value for money.

We use the red hop-on hop-off double decker wherever we go so we know the brand well. We were very surprised that on our bus there was no multi choice language audio system. The guide spoke through a microphone. If we had been German or fluent in German we would have had what was obviously a well informed and apparently very humorous visit. However the descriptions in English were, to say the least minimal, spoken at speed in a thick accent very difficult to follow. Hamburg franchisee should ensure that their buses are up to date with audio multilingual. if they are not don't use them, use one of the other competitors who have.

The tour was great but there was very little English from the tour guide. Jokes were being made in German and no explanation in English about the sits seen. There were no English ear plugs for translation
