It was a very nice guide, who had a good loud voice and had many stories to tell about the creation and construction of the Elbphilharmonie. Although our location was next to a stand with a very loud music, the man had a very good voice.it was very exciting and entertaining and was fun.thank you very much

Super venue, fabulous guide, great tour.

Probably the best tour I've ever taken. The guide was great, clear, logical, interesting, with great presentation skills and all the facts and figures without them being overpowering. The venue is dramatic and full of crazy ideas. OK the costs overran a bit, but I think you got value for money in the mid term at least if not in the short term.

Wir waren zu viert bei der Führung und hatten Benjamin als Guide. Wir haben schon viele Führungen in verschiedenen Städten gehabt, aber diese war mit Abstand die BESTE!!! Benjamin glänzte mit fundiertem Wissen und hat uns mit sehr viel Witz, Intellekt und Charme durch die Elphi geführt. Es ging zu schnell vorbei! Wir werden JEDEM diese Tour empfehlen!!! Ein absolutes Highlight!!!
