Unforgettable! We recommend. Thank you to Naveen for his professionalism. We want to come back another day !!! - Beautiful ride! We loved ⁇ Our Guide, the Naveen, was very punctual and was very friendly. It took us to the most emblematic places of Munich. He took - in the family photos and sent us by whatsapp. Unique and very quiet experience. We are grateful to Naveen. We recommend this Mr. Naveen, because he knew how to explain the whole story very well, MarianPlatz is a Square (in the heart of the city) very beautiful! We were enlightened and even recommended us a good restaurant ( at the end of the tour ). Worth it and we recommend! Thanks Naveen! 😘

A good personal guided tour in Munich - Naveen was very considerate of our ages ( 75& 79) And our issues ( hearing snd slowness) … yet we managed to still cover all we wanted to see in Munich on 3hrs+ and he was very knowledgeable and “ did his homework “ . He took wonderful pictures and videos for us and gave us help in terms of our train/bus connections in our “ list of things to do the next day”.

Two for the price of one benefit of extensive German history and culture with fun facts about Italy - Sabina was a great tour guide for Munich. She also happens to have extensive knowledge of best authentic restaurants around and beer making. We were pleasantly surprised that despite being from Rome, she knows so much about Germany and all of the sites. We also enjoyed discussing Rome where we went last year. I would highly recommend her as a guide! Her English was perfect!

informative, NOT rushed, and an asset to our trip! - Our tour guide Linus was knowledgeable and super funny. We had a small group of just myself and my brother and he handled such a small group seamlessly. It was our first time in Munich. We had walked around the day before and enjoyed it but this tour got us more excited about the city. The tour did not feel rushed it was timed perfectly and we saw so many things in 3 hours. Linus gave us recommendations for museums to visit, restaurants to eat at, pubs to enjoy and so much more. Linus talked about so many interesting historical topics that were related to the buildings and he personalized the tour to us individually. Honestly, after our tour we couldn’t imagine enjoying our trip without this experience. Our tour led by Linus was a highlight in our trip.
