Aroused curiosity to experience something extraordinary and to see Hamburg from a different side, we were definitely impressed by this dungeon tour! The price is absolutely reasonable, the actors and the environment keep what the description promises. Our 14 year old was startled where she needed to be, but not too scared to go further either. In any case, I think at least 10 years is appropriate. The only thing to complain about: if there was a little waiting time in front of the entrance, a roof would have been appropriate. If not for the guests, then at least for the young girl who scans the QR codes on the tickets.

It was an exciting and informative event from start to finish! You never felt like it was boring! The group was mixed according to age and yet we felt like a group! You were addressed by your first name and included in the history of Hamburg! If history lessons in schools were structured in this way or something similar, everyone would learn with great interest! You could tell that the actors enjoy their job! Thanks for the nice spooky hour in the dungeon!

We loved it !!! BUT didn’t know until we were already in the tour it was all in German. The English reviews falsely made us think it would be in both languages. That being said we were able to sort of follow along and it didn’t matter , the actors were mesmerizing! So good and quality production The all German group laughed at our expense and we didn’t mind that we had no idea ! The kids wanted to go again

Our first experience in a dungeon and I have to say we loved it! To learn something about the history of Hamburg and to be part of a spooky spectacle... a uniquely chilling experience. High praise and absolutely recommendable!

the whole exp is great and my daughter was able to follow eventhough she is not fluent in German
