Day Drinking Bar Crawl - If you like beer, schnapps, and snacks, and want to have a chaperone and already booked tables as you travel between a few bars tasting them, Zsofia can do that for you! A great tour for the first day in Munich to get your bearings (and maybe also lose them a little bit).

Quite possibly the perfect beer tour - This tour was everything we were hoping it would be. Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly and she took us to the best off the beaten path places. You really felt like you are a local for a minute. She even customized the tour to fit our needs and preferences. I’d have easily paid double for it it was just a great value.

So much fun and for an amazing value! - This was one of the best beer tours I have ever been on. Great ‘beers off the beaten path’ tour going to some incredible places with amazing beer. By far the best was our tour guide Sophie. She had SO much knowledge and in general was just a blast to hang with. She made sure understand what we liked and had already tried and crafted the tour to get us the best bang for our buck. I’ve paid twice as much for tours and didn’t get nearly as much beer and food.

Oktoberfest primer - would be great anytime though! - Sophie was very knowledgeable about the beers and brewery history. The foods we sampled on the tour were also top shelf. Highest marks go to Augustiner and the pretzels with cheese/onion combo

Prost!!!! - This tour was the perfect way to kick off our trip to Munich! Our guide Zsofia was very knowledgeable and engaging. We covered everything from the history of the German beer houses, to local customs and traditions. Prost!! (This is definitely a drinking tour…so do not “pre-game!) Zsofia made everyone feel welcome and included. Our group hit it off right away…even deciding to head to a rooftop bar for one last “prost” after the tour ended. I highly recommend including this tour in your Munich itinerary. I would give more stars if I could!

Highly Recommend - We inadvertently ended up with a private tour because the other parties had canceled. They kindly gave us the option to cancel for a full refund about a day beforehand because they wanted to make sure we would get the experience we were expecting. I’m sharing this bit because of how above and beyond they went with transparency. This didn’t deter us at all and we still went through with the tour, and I’m glad we did! This was so much fun! Our guide, Sophie, was incredibly knowledgeable about beer as well as German history in general. Up front, she asked some basic questions to get a feel for our tastes, and then checked in after the first and second stops to ensure we targeted venues that would be preferable to us. After the tour was over, we actually went back to the second venue for a proper dinner because we enjoyed the beer there so much, and while there, the food we observed being delivered looked fantastic. I highly recommend this tour. The guides are personable, well versed on beer, schnapps, and traditional German food, and they will provide you with a fabulous experience in and around Munich.

Must-do Experience! - What a fabulous afternoon! I did this tour my first day in Munich, and could not have started off my trip any better. It was myself and 2 couples being led by our guide, Zsofia, who was absolutely wonderful. We learned so much - about beer, about Munich, about escalators...we covered it all! The places we visited were excellent, and they definitely did not skimp on the beer or the schnapps - no need to pregame! Our groups was perfectly sized, and the experience very conducive to chatting and getting to know each other - we were fast friends by the end, and carried on the fun by going to a rooftop bar Zsofia recommended after the official tour ended. Zsofia was the perfect guide, and I would strongly recommend this tour to everyone coming to Munich! You'll come as strangers, but probably leave as friends!
