It was a very successful evening with a lot of interesting information. Matze's leadership was really good and the time went by very quickly. He lives in Sankt Pauli and his stories were authentic to me. His way of telling was honest, funny, good suspense, but also a stimulus to think about one's own prejudices and tolerance. There was everything from the past, present and future, insider tips, some knowledge of human nature and psychology. We were a well-mixed group of 26 people and we had fun. I think our guide Matze too. An entertaining break in a small bar with reasonable prices and two free rounds by the Kiez guide were also included. Thank you Matze with best regards from the beautiful UM. PS: a little tip, if you found the tour great, then show it with a tip. Matze invested more time than was announced, his kind of appreciation.

Was a great tour. We were a very small group, which was very pleasant. Everything was explained in great detail in such a way that you can also remember it. Questions and requests were dealt with and it was not looked at the clock to reach the end on time. Took longer than planned. I had a lot of fun, many thanks to Matze!

Great guide, insider knowledge and amazing english skills

We had a wonderful and exciting tour of the Reeperbahn. It was a great mix of history, current conditions and also a little bit of the daily St. Pauli gossip. We had fun and enjoyed it. We can recommend the tour, especially for english speaking people. It is a great way to discover Hamburg and his famous red light district. Thank you and keep going! :)
