All in all it was great. It was very entertaining, funny and yet you learned a lot about Hamburg and also about erotic life. Also a few own very interesting experiences of the two ladies. It is really highly recommended and a great price. You get a lot for the price. We ended up being dropped off at the Men Strip Club though and that was a shame. Suddenly the two tour guides were gone and that was it. Waiters came immediately and wanted to take an order per table. All of that would have been ok if there had been a good strip show...then I would have looked the other way. But there was a man (Bubi) in the middle and quite honestly... the guy almost fell asleep and kept chatting with his colleague outside. Was a pity. Therefore, the end was a bit stupid and without saying goodbye to the tour guide. It was a shame as the tour was really great and I love their sense of humor. It is still recommended

This tour is definitely worth it! As a solo traveler I was a bit nervous as to what exactly to expect. Barbie and Lee led the group through their quarters with a lot of elegance, charm and wit. You can feel the love and passion for her job. We laughed a lot, but it wasn't embarrassing or vulgar for a moment. The accompanying bodyguard conveyed a feeling of security in a pleasant way.

In fact, I thought we'd get a tour with drag queens together, but instead we got a totally authentic tour with a Kiezur rock. Fabian told us exciting anecdotes about the Reeperbahn. And typically Hamburg, everyone has caught their saying. This is Hamburg! Thanks again and greetings from the "engineers" ;)

I had actually booked the tour with Fabian, unfortunately it wasn't possible because of Corona. The tour was then taken over by Olli Zeriadtke and what can I say? It was just great!!! HE had a lot to tell, and the visit to the SM showroom was really great. The 2 hours flew by.

We had a lot of fun. Thank you for the wonderful experience and the background knowledge in St. Pauli. We'd love to come back
