8.Hamburg: Harbor Cruise with Wine and Cheese

We were not the only English speakers on board so our guide even did some translations for us, which was very considerate. The wine was okay, but definitely not bad. The cheese and snacks were great though! Our only complaint would be that it was difficult to find the boat, and we felt that the cheese and cracker board needed for salty crackers and snacks, and less cheese.”

I’ve done crawls in Berlin, Budapest, Vienna and Dublin and this one in Cologne was the most fun I’ve been on. Music was good, drinks were cheap, the guides Dustin and Erin were invested in everyone having a good time, and everyone just naturally socialized moreso than on other crawls. Would highly…”
