A must for true crime fans - I highly recommend this tour. I did this tour in March with Katrina and it was absolutely fantastic. Katrina was super knowledgeable about Munich and the all the true crime stops on the tour. This was a great way to see the city and learn a little about the true crime of Munich. liked this tour so much I did the Ghost and Spirts tour the next night which was also excellent. Wear comfortable shoes as you get to see a lot during the two hour tour. The walk is a flat walk with no hills.

Engaging way to learn some history and walk around city center - An engaging way to learn more about Munich’s history and walk around city center near Marienplatz! Coming from the US, and being a real crime and mystery reader, not much shocks me. But, the metal rendition of a chalk outline in the sidewalk outside of a posh hotel where a Bavarian/German leader was assassinated did surprise me. The tour guide was a delightful, well prepared facilitator who carried along pictures to illustrate the well-told tales of plots, misunderstandings, and blatant disregard for the rights of other people. He also had a small microphone and speaker that was helpful as our tour was during the celebration of Carnival and the surrounding area could be loud. He answered questions asked, and his animated presentation made me smile. If you like the topic of the tour, I give it a solid recommendation!

Amazing tour! - Had a brilliant time on the tour today with Lockie. Non-stop entertainment and some really interesting stories about true crime in Munich. Could not recommend this more for those interested in true crime and the macabre.

Fascinating! - This was our second time to Munich, and since we enjoyed our tours with BlackBook Tours so much the first time, we decided to see what else they had to offer. Just based on our own limited availability, we ended up doing the True Crime tour. We are by no means True Crime aficionados, but you don't need to be for this tour. The stories span the centuries; and cover a wide range of types of crimes, criminals, and outcomes. It really was fascinating, and even lead us down a bit of a research rabbit hole later that night which ended up risking our ability to sleep - some of the stories/details really are that gruesome. Having done quite a fair share of guided tours around the world, one thing I really have come to appreciate is the personality of the guide his/herself. And this is where BlackBook tours really is a notch above others. Katrina is upbeat, friendly, funny, and real. You just can't fake that, and it makes all the difference. One important note if you're considering booking this tour - and it unfortunately needs to be said - this is, as advertised, an outdoor walking tour. It involves walking and standing outside for a considerable length of time. Be realistic with yourself and do not underestimate the impact of the weather on on your experience. Check the forecast, and check it again. If it's forecast to be literally freezing (as it was for us), add an extra layer and some extra accessories (scarf, hat, gloves) to whatever you THINK should be sufficient. Maybe bring an insulated mug full of a warm beverage. And then don't blame the guide if they aren't magically able to make the weather bend to their/your will.
