Some time ago, I arrived in the charming city of Lübeck to pursue my master's degree. The beauty and charm of this city captivated me so much that, after finishing my studies, I decided to stay and practice my profession. My academic and professional training has allowed me to live, study and work in different countries, such as Mexico, Canada, Switzerland, and now, Germany. My passion for languages, contact with diverse cultures and discovering new cities have inspired me to dedicate my free time to offering tourist guides in this beautiful city. Lübeck is a place full of history and magic, where around every corner there is something fascinating to discover.

Hi, we are Hedda and Ulrike and we are happy to present you the most beautiful city in the world on a great tour. We mainly offer tours that are based on tips, so everyone gives what they can. In addition, we also offer private tours and themed tours. For all true crime fans, for example, there is a special tour on Halloween, anyone interested in the residents of old Lübeck can walk through the city with Lübeck's most successful writer, Ida Boy-Ed, and for newcomers we offer the Lübeck compact format once a month, where we show you the most beautiful corners and tastiest cafes. Get in touch if you would like to book a private tour or simply join us on the public tours when it's Lübeck to go again.
