Our story

Tours with heart & humor

Behind Banana Joe Tours is a team of passionate guides with one simple promise: tours with heart, humor and real insider tips – small groups, personal attention and moments that stay with you.

With Banana Joe Hamburg we bring that feeling to the Elbe. Our guides are born-and-bred Hamburgers or long-since smitten locals by choice, showing you the city as it really is: from the fish market at dawn to sunset on the Elbe beach.

Besides Hamburg, Banana Joe Tours also runs tours in Miami, the Everglades, New York City and Madeira.
