Ian knows his stuff. He presented a wide variety of facts with the sprinkling of witty comments. Through the tour, his personality shone through, which made his presentation even more engaging. Through the facts in his presentation, Ian gave us the panorama of the human story of the Jews of Hamburg. Finally, we appreciated a humanist note in his stories and insights.

Ian gave an impressive, informative overview of the Jewish community at a moments notice. He was so accommodating to my very tight schedule and meet up location. I was so impressed that I will be booking another tour with him! Thank you, Ian!!

Ian Shulman arrived on time. He was extremely well informed and has a very pleasant way about him. He gave us a very good insight into the Jews of Hamburg and told most interesting and humorous anecdotes of some famous Jewish businessmen. He also recommended a restaurant after the tour which was excellent. We would highly recommend him. Thank you Ian..

Ian is very knowledgeable and very courteous. He is a great storyteller and gave us a wonderful insight into Hamburg. The walking tour was a real eye opener. We learnt a lot and also made friends with this charming gentleman. Don't hesitate to book any of his tours.

Ian is a completely engaging and interesting guide. We visited Hamburg in May 2018 to see and learn about where my father’s family had lived. I had e-mailed Ian a list of addresses of interest that included former family residences and the stolpersteine that commemorate some of the family members that were lost. When he picked us up at our hotel, he had already mapped out a route that included key Jewish historical sites as well as all of the addresses that I requested. He had good stories and information to share about Hamburg then and now and also was a patient listener to my family stories. It was a very enjoyable three hours.

Mit großem Wissen der jüdische Gschichte und Kultur in Hamburg, führte mich Ian Shulman 2 Stunden durch Grindelviertel, in die Dammtornähe und Pöseldorf, während er uns gleichzeitig durch die Jahrhunderte jüdischer Geschichte in Hamburg lotste. Highlights waren die Tora-Talmud Schule, das Wandbild am Fachbereich Sozialökonomie der Universität HH zeigt die Vielfalt jüdischen Lebens am Grindel), die Geschichte der Ida Ehre Kammerspiele und des Budge Palais (Wohnort der Kunstmazänen Henry und Emma Budge). Die Geschichte des Ehepaar Budge und ihrer Kunstsammlung zeichnete Ian als ein Beispiel des Unrechts der Raubzüge der Nazis an jüdischem Eigentum nach. Eine fantastische Tour, sehr zu empfehlen. Werde Ian Shulman bei meinem nächsten Besuch in Hamburg für eine weitere Tour buchen. Sehr gut auch, dass Ian die Tour wahlweise in Deutsch oder Englisch geben kann. Bitte ziehen Sie Ihre besten Laufschuhe an; Handys mit guter Kamera mitbringen. Ian war pünktlich am Treffpunkt und es konnte gleich losgehen. Das Wetter war super, ein runde Sache!
