Very exciting tour that also goes through more unknown corners of St. Pauli. The kiosk including Mexicans will certainly be built into the next neighborhood tour. The guide is a true original. It was a lot of fun.

We are the 10 Upper Franks who crossed the neighborhood with Puhli. In a relaxed atmosphere, we learned a lot of interesting facts about this district from then and now. The stop at a cult bar was super strong and we had a lot of fun. Thanks to Puhli, we actually drank the nutcracker and curb swallow at the Santa Pauli Christmas market. Great trip... great memories.

We had the tour with Tobi yesterday. It was brilliant. He explained everything so well. My daughter and I are still very impressed. When we're back in Hamburg, we'll book the tour with you again. Greetings from Claudia and Jenny from Munich

We have booked the normal neighborhood tour. Since it was a Monday in November, there was almost nothing going on and we had a private tour from Puhli as a result. It was amazing. He was able to tell us personal stories at many locations. Through his stories and explanations, we have become aware that the neighborhood is much more than a scandal district with red lights & parties - it is a family. We have now got a completely different impression and, above all, a glimpse into the story. Thanks for that 😊 Otherwise, everything was just right around it. The booking was uncomplicated and the office radiates peace before it gets into the hustle and bustle. We would highly recommend the tour here.

Very interesting tour through the neighborhood. Our guide Sarah told everything in a very informative and humorous way, and above all she was very easy to understand. All in all, a successful evening. The Toru is recommended to everyone.

St. Pauli Kiez tour booked spontaneously. The tour guide was Joshua, a real Paulian. He told great stories from the neighborhood and led a very interesting tour. The bar was great, super nice landlady and totally normal prices. I'd love to do it again.

We were lucky enough to take the guided tour of St. Pauli with Malte. It was very interesting and informative. The stop at the Silbersack restaurant was also brilliant. We really liked it. Malte is a great guy who lives his job. Just great 👍👍👍

We had the neighborhood tour with Dirk. There are 4 couples in our group. It was right from the start. He was the first to tell us a few things about himself, which immediately created a familiar basis. After that, we traveled to all roads. He explained and showed us so much. We were on the “line” together and we were told in detail why people didn't build on the border in the past. Finally, we had a “house” of beer in Silbersack. Very delicious. The tour was great. When we come back to Hamburg, we'll book the Crime Tour. In any case, always at the St. Pauli Office.

Hi, thanks to Sven for the interesting tour of his neighborhood. Short stop at “Silbersack”, an old restaurant with an interior from another time, but the beer was fresh and delicious. The two hours were entertaining and entertaining. I would particularly like to emphasize the respectful treatment of his fellow human beings!

We can fully recommend the neighborhood tour with Malte. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot about the neighborhood, both about historical background, developments and current recommendations and tips. Hardly a question remained unanswered and everything was done in a relaxed, very relaxed atmosphere. Thank you very much for that and best regards!

Thank you Malte for a very entertaining, thoroughly enjoyable, interesting and extremely informative tour through “your” neighborhood!

Thank you Sven for the great tour through your neighborhood! It was really great — super informative, entertaining and with lots of exciting insights that you would never have gotten alone. Particularly nice: the small group size and the fact that you are traveling completely without a microphone — this is not only more personal, but also very considerate of the local residents. Your enthusiasm for the district was contagious. Absolute recommendation! 👍

Our neighborhood tour with Joshua today was a lot of fun! We've exaggerated a bit, but the time just flew by. Really a great tour guide — you can tell his energy, love and enthusiasm as you show around the neighborhood. Just great! 5 stars and thanks!
