My philosophy: The three pillars of your unforgettable Hamburg experience
At guidance-hamburg-bytaxi.com, I offer more than just a city tour. I create a holistic experience based on three fundamental pillars. This model, my pyramid of values, ensures that every tour is not only informative and comfortable, but also deeply personal and unforgettable.
1. Logistical excellence
A smooth process is the foundation on which your experience is built. I make the most of your valuable time, comfortably and relaxed avoiding traffic jams and always finding the best route.
2. Profound narratives and curated content
Your tour is elevated from mere transportation to an intellectual journey of discovery. Understand how local Hamburg events are linked to major European trends such as humanism, the Reformation and the Enlightenment. Instead of dry lists of facts, stories unfold their effect – they touch you, stay in your memory and convey content in an impressive way.
3. A personal and dynamic connection
The crowning glory of the experience is the personal connection and unique adaptability of your tour. Here, excellent logistics and in-depth content merge into something completely unique: a journey that is tailored to you in real time. Thanks to intercultural competence and a passion for dialogue, the tour becomes your very own personal discovery. For you, this means:
- Flexibility: The tour is a conversation, not a monologue. Your questions and interests can spontaneously change the course of the journey at any time.
- Personalisation: Do you have a special interest in architecture, history or a particular district? I will dynamically adapt the focus to your wishes.
- Uniqueness: No two tours are exactly the same: you will receive a tailor-made experience created especially for you and your curiosity, which you will remember for a long time to come.
Together, these three pillars guarantee an experience that is unique in Hamburg in its combination of comfort, intellectual depth and personal touch.
As your personal city guide and chauffeur, you will glide comfortably through Hamburg in a comfort vehicle such as our Toyota RAV 4 or VW Touran – every alleyway and every square becomes an exclusive experience. From October onwards, a more luxurious limousine will also be available.
Your personal city tour begins in a relaxed manner: a brief note about your preferences – whether by telephone, message or directly when booking – is sufficient, and I will tailor your tour precisely and individually.
No lengthy coordination, no hassle. I tailor each tour exclusively to your wishes – within the booked time frame, with room for spontaneous discoveries that suit you perfectly.
Stylish, flexible and bookable directly – with no cancellation fees.
Why I’m Your Ideal Guide for an American Explorer
History
I summarise the complex interrelationships of Europe for you in a coherent overall picture. In doing so, I link cultural, political and religious trends to form an ongoing dynamic – and make it clear how these historical intersections shape our present-day Europe. This gives you a clear orientation in the dense fabric of European history and allows you to immediately recognise the forces that continue to influence our everyday lives today.
Culture
I enable you to gain a comprehensive understanding of the interrelationships between religion, philosophy and culture in Europe from these differentiated perspectives and embed all of this in a detailed guided tour of Hamburg, so that you can transform your city tour into an educational tour and at the same time get to know the northern metropolis from all angles.
Impulses of Eternity
The Impulses of Eternity’ offers you an overview of historical and cultural developments in Europe and summarises all relevant manifestations of the present and the past. Manifestations of the present, which often resemble those of the past, are interpreted differently.

Reliably personal – your city guide and chauffeur in one
‘I conduct every tour myself – without changing guides or anonymous drivers. This allows me to guarantee the highest quality, in-depth knowledge and individual attention on every tour.’
Performance by Gabriel Sarakanidis
As a native of Hamburg who completed his training as a foreign trade merchant in this commercial city, my city tour service combines the dynamism of a taxi driver with local knowledge, the historical knowledge I gained during my studies in classical philology (Ancient Greek and Latin) in Greece, the intercultural skills I acquired in the field of tourism in Thessaloniki and Chalkidiki, and my in-depth knowledge of the historical and cultural identity of the Hanseatic city of Hamburg – complemented as a educated city guide in Hamburg.
Districts, quarters and remote locations
In addition to the districts and quarters presented here, it is also worth taking a look at places outside the greater Hamburg area – including the Alte Land, Northern Europe's largest contiguous fruit-growing region, the historic Vier- und Marschlande (Das Rieck Haus, St. Nicolai Church in Altengamme, Zollenspieker Fährhaus), Bergedorf Castle and the Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial – which can be complemented by other worthwhile discoveries.
Variety of topics
Hamburg’s history extends far beyond its Hanseatic merchant traditions — reflecting pivotal developments in European intellectual and cultural history. During my city tours, I connect local events with broader European currents: religious transformations, philosophical movements such as Humanism and Hellenism, and historical intersections between the Reformation and the Enlightenment, or between antiquity and modernity. I always take my guests’ individual interests into consideration and adapt both the content and depth of each tour to their preferences — creating a personalized and enriching city experience that leaves a lasting impression.
Cars
Two comfortable vehicles are currently available for your city tour: a new Toyota RAV4 on Mondays and Tuesdays, and an equally well-maintained VW Touran from Wednesdays to Saturdays. Both vehicles offer optimal conditions for relaxed and stylish city tours. In the near future, my fleet of vehicles will be expanded to include particularly high-quality models, with the VW Touran being replaced by a more luxurious vehicle – for a city experience that meets the highest standards not only in terms of culture but also in terms of driving comfort.
