I am a taxi driver in Hamburg for more than 25 years, and again and again, I am surprised by the beauty of the city: the Alster, the big harbour, its lush greenery, the colourful neighbourhoods. I have travelled in all areas of Hamburg and would like to show you the most beautiful and interesting places on a tour either in my taxi minibus or by foot on a walking tour. I have been providing tours of the city with my taxi minibus since 2008 and have been a certified tour guide of Hamburg since 2016. I have a great passion for history, having studied it as a student, and would like to show you the richness of Hamburg's past and its path of development to the most important metropolis of northern Germany. I would love to welcome you to Hamburg and make your stay a memorable experience. taxi-tourist guide since 2008, licensed tourist guide since 2016 licensed elbphilharmonie-plaza guide

Sehr schöne und informative Tour durch Hamburg mit Bernd M. Gerne wieder!
Rhonda G.United States
Had a wonderful time in Hamburg with our excellent guide Bernd. We had a a group of 4 long time friends, never had visited before, and what an enjoyable time we had. Bernd picked us up promptly at the new cruise terminal, and what a beautiful city. It is incredible how they have developed the city, and have the older buildings and repurposed as newer, but keeping the charm. We had many stops, the town hall building is stunning, and their new Elbphilharmonie building is magnificent. And very impressed with the escalator too. We saw so many neighborhoods, where the Beetles got their start, the beautiful homes there, and the designs of their buildings ands bridges, UNESCO sites for sure. And all the churches, which we were able to visit St. Michel too. Could not have had a better day, and much more to Hamburg than we ever expected. Bernd was an awesome guide and would highly recommend his tour. Way better than the large ship tours. Thank you so very much for an education and seeing the sites of Hamburg. We hope tohave the opportunity to return.

Bernd was absolutely amazing and truly made our tour one of the most memorable parts of our trip! He was incredibly kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming from the moment we met him. We got off the ship earlier than expected, and he was already there waiting for us and happily started our tour early. He was also very flexible and allowed us to choose a site that wasn’t originally listed on the tour, which made the experience feel even more personalized. One of the sweetest moments was when he bought a special treat for our family—such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture that we will always remember. Bernd went above and beyond to make sure our family had a wonderful experience. We felt completely comfortable with him and learned so much along the way. I honestly cannot recommend Bernd enough! If you have the opportunity to book a tour with him, do it, you will not be disappointed!
