Experience Highlights

Discover Hamburg by land and water in a single vehicle on this amphibious bus tour lasting approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. The tour begins through the city’s streets and, when the time comes, the vehicle drives straight into the Elbe to continue sailing like a boat.

During the experience, you’ll pass through areas such as Speicherstadt, HafenCity and Rothenburgsort, combining the historic architecture of the harbour with more modern and industrial areas. One of the most striking moments comes as you cross one of the city’s large storm surge barriers before continuing on to Billwerder Bay.

The entire tour features a live guide and commentary on board, so you’ll learn about Hamburg’s history and interesting facts whilst literally switching from road to river without leaving the vehicle.

Step by Step

This tour offers a very different way of discovering Hamburg. The first part of the tour takes place on land, passing through some of the city’s most characteristic neighbourhoods and harbour areas.

You’ll pass through Speicherstadt, the historic brick warehouse district, and HafenCity, where contemporary architecture and the transformation of the old harbour reveal a much more modern side to Hamburg.

Then comes the big change in the experience: the amphibious bus heads towards the water and drives straight into the Elbe, where the boat trip begins. Without getting off the vehicle, you’ll go from travelling on the road to travelling along the river.

During the water section, the tour continues towards Tiefstack and passes by one of Germany’s largest storm surge barriers. You’ll also sail through the Billwerder Bay area, historically linked to Hamburg’s industrial and maritime activity.

Throughout the entire journey, you’ll be provided with live commentary to help you better understand the city’s relationship with the harbour, the river and the neighbourhoods you pass through.

    The change from bus to boat is what we were all hoping for and is well worth it.

    Some streets were quite busy and we made slower progress, but it didn’t affect us too much.
