Reviews HafenCity
“Sehr empfehlenswert um die Stadt entspannt, bequem und informativ etwas kennenzulernen. Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Fahrer!”
“We used the recommended App but was not so user friendly as we couldn't prepare our trip looking at activities discount before the first day of our trip. But, excepted that issue, it has been really convenient to jump in any kind of transport, even the ferries at any time of the day + some discount”
“Wir sind dort ohne Wissen was es ist aufgrund einer Empfehlung hingegangen. Es war super sehr zu Empfehlen. Die Darsteller waren toll die Geschichten waren toll die Kulissen waren toll das Gesamtpaket war perfekt.”
