Eiskaltes Wetter. Trotzdem super Guide Alex. Interessante Geschichten über Sankt Pauli und geschichtliche Hintergründe. Auch die ein oder andere Problematik die Sankt Pauli betrifft wurde angesprochen (Schmuckstraße). Mal was anderes als der ganze Kiez Kram. Alex hat viel Hintergrundwissen und bringt dies sehr gut rüber. Meiner Meinung nach ist diese Tour nichts für Leute die geschichtlich nicht so interessiert sind. Wer wirklich das wahre Sankt Pauli Kennenlernen möchte ist hier richtig. Sankt Pauli war nicht und ist nicht nur eine Partymeile mit besoffenen Touristen. Das hat Sankt Pauli auch nicht verdient. Mein Fazit: Absolut empfehlenswert. Es muss nicht immer diese touristische Kieztour sein. Am Ende gibt's noch wirkliche Insidertipps wo man was trinken kann und noch auf einheimische Paulianer trifft (Rosis Bar).
