Unique tour with some interesting history - Unique tour with some interesting history…I was immediately intrigued with the tour title, “Death and Chocolate”. If you are looking for a tour with a bit of the macabre and want to know about the different side of German history, definitely do this tour. But you will also see some elaborate graves, remarks on their design and history. Some professions are noted on the markers so be sure to check it out. You could spend many, many hours here just meandering through taking in the dates alone. The tour guide takes us through hitting the high points and notable graves; the lady with rose, brewery founders, architects who built Munich, “Christmas massacre” memorial. If your into symbology, you will find some on the makers. There is one gold marker I am still quite fascinated in understanding the meaning. The tour guide was enthusiastic and answered our questions. The chocolate afterwards was a nice touch after a cold, wet walk through the site. We recommend this tour - easy to find the pick up location, good walking pace (no rushing at all!), easy to navigate, listen and hear the guide.

Unique and fun way to learn about Munich! - What an amazing tour! So many things to see in the beautiful cemetery, and the lovely guide Katrina is guiding you through history with amazing stories. If somebody is looking for something truly unique while in Munich, this tour is a good option. Highly recommended!

Death and Chocolate << >> Death and Chocolate - We were warmly welcomed by the manager of BLACKBOOK TOURS, Katrina, at Sendlinger Tor, and from there we walked to the Old South Cemetery. If you are interested in history or historical grave sites (like we are) this tour is a must in Munich. There are a number of graves of famous people, such as Justus von Liebig, Fraunhofer, Pschorr, Spaten, various city architects such as Klenze, Gärtner, etc., Aunt Frieda from Ludwig Thoma's Rascal Stories, the painter Spitzweg, the sculptor from BAVARIA Ludwig von Schwanthaler as well several royal servants at the “Old South Cemetery”. Even if you don't know anything about the "famous people", the grave sites, some of which are very magnificent, are worth a visit. At the end of the tour we sat down for a “half a beer” in the Faun, as the Götterspeise café was closed due to the holiday. (@Katrina: thank you very much for the drinking chocolate, it tastes delicious!!!) We were thrilled with this tour, congratulations to Katrina for putting it together so well.

Spooky cemetery tour with hot chocolate to boot! - I am in Munich often with work and have done a few other tours with Katrina and Blackbook Tours, so I was super excited to see a new tour that she's been working on! Such a fun and interesting way to learn some more about Munich's dark history. The old southern cemetery is just stunning, and even though it wasn't the coldest of days, a delicious hot chocolate is always a great way to warm the soul. Once again, Katrina is a top guide and this tour was awesome. Highly recommend to anyone interested in some daytime spooky tours!

Fascinating and Fun! - It was truly fascinating to learn the history of Munich from the headstones in a graveyard! Was a great spring day for a walk with the family and we absolutely loved the ghost stories and the dark history of Munich. So different than your “usual” tours you get elsewhere! The real hit with the family was the hot chocolate! They couldn’t stop raving about it so we had to do some shopping at the chocolate shop! We really enjoyed this. I know you would too!

Must-do for dark tourists! - We loved this tour! The cemetery was beautiful, the hot chocolate was legendary, the stories were fascinating, and the guide was marvellous. The tour covered historical events and people, dark history and ghost stories. Highly recommend for all the dark tourists visiting Munich!
