Full description

Join your guide, a so-called Kiezbulle - a tall, broad shouldered, humourous local lad. The tour starts with a Zündkerze - welcome drink at the top of the Reeperbahn. Here you will learn about the history and origin of this famous area. Then you continue towards the red light district: go through Spielbudenplatz, Davidwache and Herbertstraße. Learn about life in the Kiez and its rules. Listen to both dark and funny anecdotes. The combination of multi-cultural individualists from all walks of life makes for an interesting mix of stories. Head on through the so-called Sadomaso street, past street prostitution and the bar Ritze. You will walk along the “Große Freiheit”, continue to the Hamburger Berg and back onto the Reeperbahn where your tour ends.

We took the tour on a Saturday night. It got very crowded late at night, but wasn't a problem at all because the tour started at 8 p.m. We had Matze as a tour guide and he was just great. From the creation of the Reeperbahn to now, everything was explained very well. His private stories were also very interesting. We can only recommend the tour. If you get Matze you can look forward to a super interesting evening. :)

Wir hatten mit unserem „Pilgervater“ Paddy einen absoluten Kiez-Insider, der uns St. Pauli sehr unterhaltsam, mit vielen Anekdoten gespickt ganz toll gezeigt hat. Wir erhielten sehr viele Hintergrundinformationen, die alle Teilnehmer sehr interessiert aufgenommen haben. Wir waren 2,5 Stunden unterwegs und nicht eine Minute erschie langweilig. Absolut empfehlenswert! Paddy, vielen Dank für deine tolle Führung, es war für uns ein großes Vergnügen!
