We used an online app to track our he location of the vessel and to hear a commentary of the important buildings. The historical relevance of the city was demonstrated and being able to get up close to a supper tanker at the Port of Hamburg was worth the entire tour. And seeing the Elbphilharmonie, perched dramatically above the Elbe River in the HafenCity district was a cherished highlight…”
