What people are saying about St. Pauli Piers

Very good tour, especially for people like me at the moment who are not so mobile or who have difficulty walking. Everything is explained well and in an entertaining way over the loudspeaker. And when the "voice" takes a break, the bus driver (in my case Klaus) tells a few anecdotes. I liked it and would go again.

The information about the meeting point was somewhat hidden on our online ticket. A call to the hotline helped us straight away, even on Sundays! The tour was just great! Our captain on the Traute Abicht had a lot of information to tell and was able to get a lot of laughs. Recommended at any time!

Well organised, the guide was very funny, informative, kind. We enjoyed the tour very much.

Excellent way to go around the city and learn more about this fun city

Nice trip around main area of hamburg harbour and its iconic buildings
