Great fun and history - Marcus was an excellent tour guide. We got to see and learn a lot about Munich. Our group was around 12 people- a good size for touring and chatting. The Oktoberfest piece was lots of fun. Wear your dirndls and lederhosen! You get several hours at a table in a big tent. Enjoy the music, food, and drinking games. It was great to have people from your tour to hang out with. Highly recommend!

Old Town and Oktoberfest - Great walking tour through Old Town Munich. Our tour guide Tom presented a lot of historical perspective along the way. We then took a short subway ride to the Oktoberfest site and had a great time with our entire group. Would highly recommend this tour group.

Fantastic! - The Munich Walking tour was wonderful. Bridget, the guide was extremely knowledgeable and funny. Ending at Oktoberfest was amazing. We had reserved tables in Lowenbrau tent and Bridget made sure we all had everything we needed.

Oktoberfest fun! - Our tour guide, Sophie, was fabulous! She was fun, attentive, & led a great walking tour! Having been to Munich before & taken other tours, she shared information that we did not know! The Oktoberfest was more fun than we can express! Sophie & the owner ensured that we had our food, beer, & the best time ever! This tour is highly recommended! Don’t miss the opportunity for fun & beer at this iconic event!

Sick tour guide - City tour was a total bust. The owner’s wife filled in for an employee who called in sick. She was SICK! She was coughing and hacking. When she talked it was just to get out the info and she didn’t pay attention to the loud train going by or other outside noises. The beer tent was a blast but skip the city tour. It was useless and hopefully nobody got sick from being near her.

Our guide was very sick - Our guide Bridgette was very sick. She was coughing so much she couldn’t speak at times. Then, she was shaking people’s hands and making jokes about “coughtoberfest”. Our group of four all got extremely sick and two of us missed 3 days of our trip, sick in bed and having to pay doctors out of pocket. My husband and I coughed the whole way home on the plane and have been out of work for days. Her husband led another group and could have taken both groups under the circumstances. Yes, it is possible someone else got us sick since the brew halls were crowded. But, we had close contact and it was not professional. The tour itself was fun. Had it not been for this, I would give it a higher rating. This type of unprofessionalism was quite disappointing. I hope they use this feedback for improvement in the future.
