I never write reviews – but this time it has to be - I don't think much of reviews. Nevertheless, here I thought - it must be said. This tour was a real surprise! Actually, we had booked a crime bike ride, but ended up in a walking crime spree – lucky in misfortune, as it turned out. The guide was great: friendly, super competent and full of energy. With a good sense of his audience, he has brought us exciting Hanover criminal cases. We especially liked that he cleverly integrated multimedia and let us guests actively participate . with cookies :-) The route was pleasant, about 2–3 km, so not too long. Nevertheless, we felt exhausted in the end – less from the route but from the many impressions and attention the tour demands. You can tell that the guide had much more to tell, but it went on and on to the next station. And the "next best": After explaining our incorrect booking at the tourism center, we even got a discount for the next “real” bike ride. Perfect Service! Conclusion: Absolutely recommended – not only for crime fans, but for anyone who wants to experience Hanover differently.
