We booked the tour through Vanity Trash and had a blast. We learned great stories about the neighborhood and also a bit of Hamburg history. In between there was a little schnapps. All round good! Then we went to the first floor of the Olivia Jones pub and looked at an "exhibition" there. After that we went down to the pub and had a lot of fun. The drink prices were absolutely cheap and the fun was suuuuuper. Great music and animation by Funny Fanstatic. Very nice evening !!!

Skilled guide, eloquent in a nice, fairly slow English, so he was easy to understand. Good historical anecdotes - we all learned a lot that we didn't know beforehand. Value for money. Can't remember the guide's name, maybe Helmer...? Elderly gentleman with a captain's cap…. He gets our best recommendations.

An absolute must. The driver and guide were great. It was explained very well and great tips were given.

very informative and entertaining explanations. Everyone liked it very much.

Great tour guide. Funny and fun but also informative and insightful
