Daniel Kellerkind Kieztouren is a Hamburg-based tour operator specializing in guided walks through St. Pauli and the Reeperbahn. The company offers four distinct experiences that focus on local history, nightlife, and neighborhood stories. Tours are led by well-known local guides: Pumpi (Andre), who brings over 20 years of experience in the red-light district and as a bouncer; Susanna, who guides Reeperbahn history and culture; Daniel Schmidt, who offers a 2.5-hour neighborhood tour with free drinks; and Daniel “only”, who mixes local history with community initiatives.
Each tour visits iconic St. Pauli locations such as Spielbudenplatz, Elbschlosskeller, and neighborhood gyms and meeting points referenced on the routes. Many tours include a welcome schnapps or other welcome drink, and some offer free drinks as part of the itinerary. Groups explore the Kiez with storytellers who focus on factual accounts, personal memories, and neighborhood context rather than fabricated anecdotes.
Based in Hamburg, Daniel Kellerkind Kieztouren emphasizes authentic local perspective and accessibility for visitors seeking an insider view of the district. The tours are appropriate for adults interested in the social history and nightlife of St. Pauli. Travelers can expect guided walks lasting from around two to two and a half hours, visits to notable sites, and opportunities to meet guides and hear first‑hand experiences. Reservations and specific tour details are available through the business's booking channels. Public schedules, languages offered, prices, and booking availability vary by tour and should be confirmed on the business's official listing or booking platform before arrival in Hamburg.
