Hello, my name is Evan and I am a professional and also fun loving guide who enjoys nothing more than exploring new places and meeting new people. I myself am an avid traveller and through this believe to have gained a real insight into what it is that makes a memorable trip into an unforgettable one; and it is this special something which I try to bring into my tours. I like to use our time together to show you the Hamburg that most visitors never get to see. This, of course, means learning all about Hamburg's rich history and culture but also includes visiting a few secret spots, taking in some breathtaking views and what I particularly love, discussing what it is that makes the Hamburgers tick! Along the way it is always a great pleasure of mine to share one of my great passions with you, being the wonderfully weird German language. Most importantly of all however I also love to allow my enthusiasm for local food and drink spill over into the tour and chat all about Hamburg with you in one of our many local cafes or restaurants. I am very flexible with regards to my tours and all of my tours can be customized to your personal needs and interests. All you need to do is let me know in advance and we can work out a tour suited to you. Hopefully, we will see each other soon to learn all about Hamburg's beautiful city and have a few laughs along the way! -Registered tourguide in Hamburg. -8 years of professional guiding experience. -Guests guided thus far: over 12,000 -Member of Hamburger Guides e.V. -Member of BVGD No restrictions.
