- 1Meet your private guide at the St Pauli train station at the time of your choice (since this is Hamburg’s nightlife district, so an evening time is best). Upgrade to kick off your 2-hour walking tour with a beer at one of the district’s many bars. After your drink, or if you decided not to upgrade, stroll past a host of music venues, flashy nightclubs, discotheques and restaurants that come alive at night with Hamburg’s nighttime crowd. As you walk, feel free to ask you guide as many questions about the area as you wish. The beauty of having a private guide is that the commentary can be tailored to your interests. Look out for the popular Zur Ritze boxing club. Explore the Grosse Freiheit and Herbertstrasse, two streets that form part of St Pauli’s red-light district — one of the largest in Europe. Hear about what happens on the infamous Reeperbahn street on late nights, giving St Pauli its sometimes seedy reputation. Continue onward to another bar to enjoy your choice of beer or a soft drink while hearing more stories about St Pauli and its institutions, such as the legendary Davidwache police station, which serves the red-light district.You'll also see bars where The Beatles played before they became famous and discover the little-known peculiarities of the Elbe Tunnel (Alter Elbtunnel.) After exploring the neighborhood, work your way back to the start point to conclude your 2-hour tour.

- wilsopes0 contributionsGreat Tour and good food with AndreaWe visited Sankt Georg for the first time and Andrea made our experience unforgettable. She shared lots of local insights and historical facts about one of Hamburg's most diverse districts. As for the food: most of the time they had vegetarian options. Overall would highly recommened getting to know Sankt George with Andrea.Written 19 March 2022
- PaulOvertoom0 contributionsPoor building poor tourWe spent most of our hour of visit outside the building listening to the guide telling us about everything that went wrong during the whole design, build and start-up of the building. When we finally went in, there was an escalator taking us to the gallery level. The guide added a few words and then ended his tour leaving us at the coffee shop of the building. We had not seen the main target of our trip: the concert hall. We left disappointed: not only about what we had seen as a result of the Swiss Architectural work (an oversized megablock of a building lacking the necessary artistic appeal) but even more about the overpriced "tour" which gave us hardly any information about the building.Written 28 October 2021
- steal190 contributionsunderwhelmedToo expensive for a 1 hour tour. Unfortunately nothing special that would justify the fee. We left a bit underwhelmed.Written 31 August 2020

- Crabulos0 contributionsVery Interesting tourWe have been visiting Hamburg to visit family since 1991 and this was probably the first time we have done a guided tour of any of the popular sights. This opera house/music hall was only completed in 2016 and makes very interesting viewing, particularly to those with an interest in acoustics. The architecture is fascinating without being awe-inspiring. An interesting comparison was made in the brochure to the Sydney Opera House, but acoustics aside, it "ain't no Sydney Opera House!" Nevertheless, the tour guide made for a really enjoyable experience and one that I'd recommend for anyone visiting this picturesque cityWritten 10 December 2019

- CKMS_Oslo0 contributionsEntertaining tour with guide Rebecca over St. Pauli - enthusiastic and entertainingBooked tour “Sex and Crime on St Pauli”. Meanwhile the title of tour is a bit drastic the 2 hours spent were entertaining. Why entertaining? Without a guide the walk would have been zero informative. Would have walked around without context. Rebecca was funny, ironic, asked a lot of “rhetoric” questions. Meanwhlie she is a history student. Well worth investing 20 EUR for 2 hours. Can heavily recommend. Helpful? Thx for a helpful vote. 👍😃Written 9 October 2019
