TL;DR: We have exciting tours to interesting locations in Hamburg. All details over at Hackertours!

Once again this year, the Hamburg team has found exciting places in Hamburg that will take you away from the dens of the CCH for a few hours and let you experience new and interesting things.

Tour highlights

This time we have 15 different tours! Here are our highlights:

Alster steamboat St. Georg

Round-trip on the Alster with a view of the night skyline on board the oldest and only real Alster steamer, the “St. Georg” from 1876. On this exclusive one-hour tour we sail from Jungfernstieg, via the Inner to the Outer Alster and also take a look at some canals and tributaries. Details

Tour of the Giants

Experience Germany’s largest seaport from a completely new perspective. Port terminals around the world are secure areas – for the public, this means: No entry! Not for us. As a cooperation partner of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA), the Tour of the Giants exclusively shows you the brightly lit Port of Hamburg behind the scenes at night. Details

Miniatur Wonderland

Miniatur Wunderland is the largest model railway in the world. It is one of the most popular and most visited attractions in Germany. We have secured tickets for you, as they quickly sell out during the holidays. Details

Alternative Harbor Tour

Port tour “Of treasure chests and pepper sacks” – The port of Hamburg within inequitable world trade. Where does our coffee come from, where would you find the world’s largest warehouse for oriental carpets and why does desperately poor Liberia have one of the largest trading fleets? A journey behind the backdrop of brick walls and container gantry cranes. It’s about coffee and cocoa, soybeans and bananas, jeans and weapons. Details

Old Elbe Tunnel

A look behind the scenes: The St. Pauli Elbtunnel connects the St. Pauli district with the island of Steinwerder. It was built between 1907 and 1911 and was one of the first road tunnels in the world. On this tour, Thomas Heidborn takes you up into the dome of the head-end building on the St. Pauli side and back to the time when it all began. Details

Train Museum Lokschuppen Aumühle

Vehicles from 150 years of railroad history around Hamburg have been collected and restored in the Aumühle Locomotive Shed Railway Museum. A light railroad takes you on a tour of the site and its exhibits. Expert volunteer members of the museum shed light on the history of the railroad vehicles, signal boxes and safety technology, track construction and many other aspects at several stations. If possible, we show everything in operation so you can touch it yourself! Details

Electrum

The electrum is Hamburg’s museum of electricity and technology. You can’t do without electricity – electricity has been part of our everyday lives for 130 years. Around a thousand technical devices from all eras can be found in the electrum, Hamburg’s museum of electricity in Harburg’s inland port. Details
