About me
Guided tours of Hamburg with Sarah Janning-Picker
- Tour guide Sarah Janning-Picker, travel guide Sarah Janning-Picker, city guide Sarah Janning-Picker or, if you prefer, city guide Sarah Janning-Picker. For me, all these designations mean being an ambassador for my home city of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. I will guide you, your guests and friends through the most beautiful cities in northern Germany, for example Hamburg, Lübeck and Glückstadt. I will be happy to guide your journey through several fascinating places and picturesque landscapes such as Kiel, Flensburg, Plön, Eutin, Friedrichsstadt, North Friesland and Holstein Switzerland.
Hamburg Tourist Guide Sarah Janning-Picker
- Hamburg Guide - exactly - that's also what I'm often called: Tourist Guide. Not only by international guests to whom I offer guided tours in English, French or Spanish, no, the term tourist guide is also becoming more and more common in German. I am also called a tour guide when I accompany a group on trips lasting several days - e.g. through Germany, Schleswig-Holstein or Scandinavia.
Lots of fun paired with lots of information
- I am a very active and open personality and enjoy passing on my knowledge about my home in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. I love to prepare your personal tour individually and to be your host as a tour guide in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. City tours with me are original and usually supported by multimedia. It goes without saying that I ensure a consistently high level of knowledge and skills through ongoing training so that you have the most fun on your city tour in Hamburg or tour in Schleswig-Holstein with me.
Cultural experience and sensitivity
- Through my own enjoyment of traveling, I have already been able to get to know many different cultures and I also know how you feel as a guest on a guided tour. I treat my guests as I would like to be treated myself. You can expect me to be helpful, punctual and flexible in terms of time and location.
Areas of specialization: Individual district tours, environmentally friendly city tours and church tours
- My specialties in Hamburg are church tours, environmentally friendly city tours (by public transport or bicycle) and individual district tours. Are you from Hamburg and think you know your city? Then take a look at my homepage and try to guess where I took all the photos. If you need further explanation, I would be happy to give you a guided tour of Hamburg or other northern German cities. City tours in Hamburg and day trips in Schleswig-Holstein with Sarah Janning-Picker are always tailored to your wishes. Even if you want to see the modern architecture in the HafenCity, the historic architecture in the Speicherstadt or Blankenese, or if you would like to learn more about a topic such as emigration, I will be happy to help!
Board of Hamburg Guides e.V.
- As the first chairwoman of Hamburg Guides e.V., it is my task, among other things, to ensure the further training of my colleagues and to represent the profession of tour guides vis-à-vis politicians and other tourism officials. In addition, together we are expanding our network and our cooperations in order to be able to offer you as a guest even more individuality and advantages.
Supporting program for business meetings
- Do you have business partners who want a relaxed end to a day full of negotiations or a group of friends with whom you want to spend a fun evening? Please contact me! I am sure I can make you a suitable offer! Do you need a vehicle for your tour? No problem. I will be happy to obtain quotes for you from the transport companies I trust.
Sworn interpreter and authorized translator for German, English and Spanish, as well as French
- And if you need foreign language personnel not only for a trip, I am also available for trade fair appearances, conferences, business meetings, negotiations, meetings and other assignments as an interpreter and/or translator with English, French and Spanish. I enjoy interpreting orally in face-to-face meetings and also have the skills to translate in writing. I am also a sworn interpreter and authorized translator for English and Spanish, so I can provide certified translations of your documents and assist you in court.
Areas of specialization: Tourism, marketing, economics and law
- My areas of specialization in interpreting and translating are tourism, marketing, business and law. I have already successfully completed assignments in these fields for well-known clients such as Lufthansa Systems, Henkel Schwarzkopf and the Technical University of Darmstadt. I have also gained experience in areas such as agriculture (AgriCarb), pharmaceuticals (WEPA) and the fruit trade (Chiquita). I prepare intensively for all my interpreting and translation assignments and always have written translations into a foreign language proofread by a native speaker.
Language lessons in (business) English, French and Spanish
- In order to pass on my foreign language skills and the fun I have with them, I can also teach your employees or colleagues in the specialist area of your choice. I myself have worked in the import and export sector and acquired knowledge in the fields of marketing, business and tourism during my Master's degree. My further training as an interpreter and translator for courts and authorities qualifies me for the legal field. I am therefore in a position to teach all three languages in the above-mentioned areas in your company. Naturally, I can organize your language lessons in English, French or Spanish according to your wishes.
