Hamburg harbor tour with a barge

Sehr informativ! Da wir mit einer kleinen Barkasse unterwegs waren, war es - trotz Flut - möglich, in die Speicherstadt rein zu fahren! Das war toll!
Vielen Dank an "Popeye"!! ;-)

En times havnerundfart i Hamborgs enorme havn. Startede i Speicherstadt og gik så forbi værfter, containerhavn og krydstogtskibe. Skipper var meget informativ og sjov.

Une expérience impressionnante et fascinante. Un accès facile et pratique. Une découverte qui vaut vraiment le coup.

Great tour of some canals with enormous old warehouses down the side. Then out into the port to see enormous cruise ships, huge container ships, yachts, naval vessels, rigged ships and even a U-boat. The downsides were the poor directions to the place to collect the ticket (a man at the top of a ramp) and lack of any information in English or map so very hard to know where we were!

Visite très enrichissante du port de Hambourg. Toutefois, le point de rencontre pour l'embarquement est imprécis. Il suffisait de mentionner que le lieu d'accès se fait depuis le pont de bois et préciser le nom de la compagnie, ça aurait évité du stress et une perte de temps.

We got lucky with our timing as there were only 8 passengers on the barge so there was plenty of room to walk about the deck, at other times I saw these boats full of people! The captain’s commentary was funny, at least what I understood – note that it’s German-only. We were taken round the docks and got close some interesting vessels, as well as got great views of the notable buildings along the banks. The main attraction for me was getting very close to a giant container ship as it was being (un)loaded. It makes you think how large scale these operations go. Time and money well spent, would recommend to anyone interested to learn about the docks and the surrounding area.
