good times - The attention received by the guides I met from Todo Tours, Fran and Eduardo, made me take several tours with the company. Apart from this tour, I recommend the Christmas Tour through the Christmas markets, the excursion to Salzburg and the Free-Tour. The preparation of the guides was very good since they live in Germany, therefore immersed in German culture. They explained all the information in a very pleasant way. In addition to giving me information, they answered any questions I might have had about getting around Munich.
