A day your way

Everyone’s bucket list of unmissable attractions in Hamburg looks a little different.

Luckily, with City Unscripted, no two private Hamburg tours are the same. We make sure your itinerary is perfectly structured around you, your interests, and your travel style, and you don’t let you waste a second of your precious time on things you won’t absolutely love. See the side of the city that speaks to you on our Hamburg tours.

Live like a local

With too many sights to squeeze into your Hamburg tours, from the iconic Elbphilharmonie to Gothic spires rising above the centuries-old cityscape, Hamburg’s tourist trail can suck you in for weeks on end. But step off the beaten track, and our private Hamburg walking tours will show you a different side to the city. From gritty street art-plastered backstreets to the trendy Ottensen neighborhood, where Hamburg’s cool kids congregate, Hamburg for locals is vastly different from the city as seen by tourists. Who better than a local to show you the best of it on Hamburg tours?

Hungry in Hamburg

Private tours in Hamburg, Germany, with City Unscripted aren’t just about seeing the sights – sometimes, exploring requires a more hands-on approach. And what better way to get a true taste for the city than booking one of our private food tours of Hamburg? We give you the opportunity to fuel your Hamburg tours with some of the best food the city has to offer. You’ll still squeeze in some of the top sights, of course, but you’ll also taste traditional cuisine, from hearty fruit puddings to salty herring rolls all washed down with a beer while overlooking the sparkling River Elbe.

I used City Unscripted to take a tour of Hamburg, Germany. My guide was Ralf and he was great! He has a wealth of knowledge about Hamburg, and a great sense of humor so the 4 hour tour flew by. It is well worth doing and gave me a completely new view of Hamburg!
