The tour is in German even though the description in GYG is in English. But since it's a beer-tasting tour, and beer has no language, I went through with the activity. Kay, our tour guide made me feel welcome even though I didn't understand German. He would switch to English from time to time to accommodate his non-German speaking guests. Awesome and varied samples of beer. My fave was the Glitter Gitta at Astra bar.

The tour is really recommendable and a good start for a party evening. You learn a lot of interesting facts about the Reeperbahn and even get recommendations on where to go partying. We also drank beer and got shots together. I would do the tour again and again :)

The city tour was fun and you learned a lot of interesting facts about the individual stations. What's also great is that this is a day ticket and you can get off at one station and then get back on later. Was very informative.

Informative and beautiful things to see and hear about. Very enjoyable. We connected with WiFi for the English commentary

The best tour in Hamburg with a lovely guide! We enjoyed it
