“Beautiful views, great price. But just FYI, if you don’t speak German there’s an app to download for your preferred language. But the app only tells you about certain locations, and the tour guide was speaking in German the entire time and giving great stories. Even though I don’t speak German I took my headphones out after a while to try and join in on the jokes! The tour guide seemed very knowledgeable and entertaining, I just wish the app was giving more information.”
Explore Hamburg’s St. Pauli with a costumed night watchman, from the Reeperbahn and Große Freiheit to Herbertstraße and the Ritze bar.
“Leider zu wenig input auf der Reeperbahn, sind nur da durch und dann in einen Box Club, mann sollte vielleicht drauf hinweisen, das separat noch 3 Euro fällig werden für einen schnaps im Boxclub! Manche haben kein Bargeld dabei! Hätte lieber mehr über die Reeperbahn erfahren! Ging irgendwie unter!”
