I chose Evan to guide us on the World War Two tour in Hamburg based on his glowing reviews, and he somehow managed to exceed even those high expectations! From the moment the tour began, Evan’s passion for history and his deep knowledge of Germany’s cultural and historical landscape were clear. He brought the complex and often emotional stories of WWII to life with sensitivity and respect, creating a safe and open space where we could ask questions and reflect. Evan tailored the tour to our interests, and the pace of walking was just right. We really appreciated that he never seemed rushed and allowed us as much time as we wanted to spend at each location. His thoughtful approach made the experience feel personal and immersive. If you're considering this tour, don’t hesitate—Evan is exceptional. This was one of the most meaningful travel experiences I’ve ever had.

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.

Evan was fantastic—very knowledgeable, informative, and accommodating. Would definitely book again. I highly recommend him!
My husband and I throughly enjoyed our tour with Evan! Evan is very knowledgeable and has a great personality. Evan made our tour of the Flack tower/bunker in Hamburg so much better than if we had just toured on our own. On our particular day, Evan already had the morning booked so we were going to be on our own. Evan graciously sent us an email with things that we should do along with lunch suggestions before our afternoon tour. Great tour guide who goes above and beyond!
We had a great time on the tour! The pacing was perfect and Hamburg had some beautiful spots to see.
Tour was great. Great overview of Hamburg during WWII. Evan knows his history of the war and explains it well. The bunker visit was an unexpected treat. Highly recommend Evan and this tour.
Evan was the best tour guide I have ever had. I have had many for numerous private tours, cruise shore excursions and tour companies. He is extremely knowledgeable. I knew enough about the subject I could tell he knew what he was talking about. He was very articulate and easy to listen to. He was very enthusiastic. Overall a great job. I wish he could be my permanent guide.
