Hamburg: 'Neue Burg' VR is a free VR experience about the history of Hamburg, Germany. It worked on my Index and HTC Vive system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok, was understandable. English voice over by a German speaker. Has a guided tour and instructions. Has some vr interaction activities. Maybe try this free tour, if you like history.

Works on Reverb G2. It is a guided VR tour through reconstruction of medieval Hamburg. It is informative, well paced and fully voiced, but visuals are a bit outdated.
