During the tour, you'll discover the most notorious spots on Reeperbahn, Hamburg's famous nightlife street. You'll visit the “Zur Ritze” bar, which used to host boxing matches in its cellar, and where the Klitschko brothers and Mike Tyson once trained. 

You'll also visit landmarks such as Herbertstraße, a Hamburg street renowned for its red, adults-only storefronts, and Hans-Albers-Platz park, where partygoers gather.

You'll be immersed in the unique atmosphere of St. Pauli, while learning about the neighborhood's history. This tour will give you a unique perspective on Hamburg and its tumultuous past.
