Nice Budapest intro!

amanda_s, Sep 2023

Gary was great! Perfect way to start our Budapest trip. Plus, Gary had the sweetest dog as his co-guide.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

We appreciate your review, although it seems like you are mistaking our company here in Munich for a tour agency in Budapest.

Outstanding guide and location

Gary_G, Sep 2023

This was an outstanding introduction to historic Munich. Tom Mills was our tour guide. He was delightful and informative, and I would highly recommend this tour for your first day in Munich.

Good value walking tour

Bernadette_D, Sep 2023

Timmy our tour guide was very relaxed, engaging and focussed. His humour mixed with a good knowledge of contemporary and historical Munich made for an enjoyable morning. A “real guide” in every sense.

Excellent overview of Munich

Emma_G, Sep 2023

I mistakenly booked two Munich city tours with the same company in Munich but both times was not disappointed. This guide took us to beautiful churches and squares and gave good insight on what delicacies to try throughout our trip in Germany. I believe the guides name was Eileen, and she was very informative and stuck around after the tour was finished to help us find additional sites. Always nice when a guide goes a little bit beyond to cater help out a tourist!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you for the feedback! We are so happy Aileen was accommodating and that the experience was so positive.

Excellent Munich old town tour

Jennifer_S, Sep 2023

Enjoyed a lovely tour with guide Timmy yesterday. Learned a bit of history and how to navigate my way around city center. Timmy encouraged a lot of questions, and he provided lots of useful information around German customs, where to shop for souvenirs, where to dine, etc. Highly recommend!

Walking history

Andreas_E, Sep 2023

Very good overview of Bavarian history. In time to see the glockenspiel at Marian plaza. Have some fresh “Erdbeeren” at the plaza for a light lunch!

HI Andrea, thank you for leaving us a review of our Munich Old Town Small-Group Walking Tour!

Everyone should do this tour on their first day!

Keith was an interesting guide with great stories. He filled in on his day off because another guide was sick. Just the right amount of walking and stopping for commentary

Mamatha_R, Aug 2023

Small group walking tour of Munich- fabulous guide Steevo- Irish through and through but knows Munich and it’s history so well. Funny warm informative and a great guide . Brought the history to life. 2 hours was more than enough to get a real feel for the essentials of the city. Can’t recommend enough. Both children (21 and 18 enjoyed the tour) and we had most of the day afterwards to enjoy! Thanks Steevo

Wonderful introduction to Munich

Tanya_B, Aug 2023

Our guide was so very knowledgeable regarding Munich's history and delivered the information in a fun and relaxed manner. She slowly moved us from one historic area to the next and brought to life the stories and put all in historical context. The pace was perfect - not to hurried not slow - allowing time for questions and pictures.
