Hey everyone, even though I know a lot about Hamburg as a "native from Lower Saxony", it's always exciting to find out more things. So I sweetened my Bavarian friend's evening with "Flo's Tour"... However, it was less about "crime" than described and more about real facts about the neighborhood. I think you should book a tour like this from time to time, even as a "long-established person", in order to think outside the box and refresh your knowledge... and absolutely exciting for tourists, instead of just "walking over the neighborhood". :-) Cheers and have fun everyone! :-)

The tour was with a psychologist (I forgot his name) who gave us quite interesting information about the Reeperbahn, the services provided there, but also cultural things. The tour lasted from 8-11:30 p.m. and then he also offered the opportunity to ask about other activities in Hamburg. I think the tour depends on the guide, but our guide was awesome :) Thanks again!

The tour is really recommendable and a good start for a party evening. You learn a lot of interesting facts about the Reeperbahn and even get recommendations on where to go partying. We also drank beer and got shots together. I would do the tour again and again :)

The guide I had today was really wonderful! It's so bad that I forgot her name. Although it was for a group, she didn't cancel out the event despite knowing that only one person was going to show up today(me)!

A competent tour with a very nice tour guide, humorous, very informative and relaxed. Gladly again!
