As a port and Hanseatic city, Hamburg has always thrived on the most diverse influences of international sailors and immigrants. Due to its proximity to the harbour, St. Pauli has always been the first stop for newcomers. Nothing has changed about that to this day: The whole world comes together in St. Pauli, regardless of provenance, religion, income, or sexual orientation. On this tour, you will feel this cosmopolitan flair on every street corner, with every encounter, storey, or culinary delight. Our knowledgeable tour guides are very familiar with the area and are looking forward to introducing you to this vibrant area from a completely different perspective. You can also ask them any questions you have at any time! Of course, we also cover many dark facts on our tour: because drugs, murders, prostitution and lost souls have always been as much a part of the area as all the colourful pubs and lights. They too have left their mark here and given St. Pauli its shady reputation. Have you always wanted to know how to smuggle a handgun into a police interrogation? Or how to make bodies disappear in the area? Ever heard of the “Golden Glove”? Or of Domenica? Not to mention the Indians…
From us, you will learn all the details of sometimes hair-raising stories that only life – no, correction: St. Pauli – can write. At the end of the tour, you have a choice: Either you end the day comfortably and with a full stomach – or you keep going! How convenient that the tour ends almost right on the Reeperbahn… The perfect opportunity to start your next adventure in the hustle and bustle of Hamburg's Sinful Mile.
