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.

Mat is the man - Had a 24 hr layover in Munich and glad I booked this tour. It was like having a friend in Munich that is a history and local expert. Was able to walk old town, see the main tourist attractions as well as try some of the food and drink. The church tower was a good start to understand reference points and see the city from higher up. He will tailor the tour to what you want to do, see or experience. He even helped send me back to the airport on the correct train to save some money on a taxi. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful 1/2 day walking tour in Munich - We had a 1/2 day Munich tour with Anna in early November. She was wonderful! We saw beautiful historical squares, buildings, churches, etc. got to walk inside & learned all the history. She was wonderful!she even snuck us in to see the oldest working mechanical clock in the world right at noon when it went off & completed its animation(pic attached)🤗 We 100% recommend!

Awesome! - Great communication and easy meet up! It was our first day so we were jet lagged but great to get out and walk around the city. Anna was so knowledgeable and took us to an awesome restaurant. Would recommend doing this your first or second day as it was a great way to familiarize yourself with the city.

Highly recommend this tour! It was the best tour on my trip to Munich. - You selected the right guide for me and she was wonderful. She certainly knows her history and she shared some great background and, I know, shared some things I would never learn just reading history. She has a great sense of humor and I actually do believe that we would be fast friends if she lived in the US. I highly recommend this tour.
