Nightwatchman torchlight tour in Munich - An experience !! - Here you can learn a lot of totally interesting things about medieval Munich.
About the night watchman profession, dukes, nobles, executioners and torturers.
The whole thing coupled with a lot of wit, as well as legends and also creepy
Stories.
It was a great 2 hours with a "super" night watchman.
My absolute recommendation.

Absolutely recommend! - The tour was great, I laughed a lot, learned a lot of new things and was made aware of a lot of things that I had never noticed before, although I have been studying in Munich for almost a year and have often been in the area around Marienplatz. In the end I was completely frozen (I would recommend in winter to really wear anything that goes, I had a very warm winter coat on, I should have put a fleece under it), but I didn't regret anything.

Can we recommend - The Nightwatchman had interesting, funny and also less funny stories to tell. We found the tour informative. Great time as evening was less hot and less busy on the squares/streets.

Unforgettable - I recently had the pleasure of taking part in a medieval torchlight tour of Munich and it was an experience I will never forget! Led by an impressively authentic night watchman, this tour offered a fascinating journey into the city's past.
Our night watchman was not only a walking encyclopedia of medieval Munich, but also a gifted storyteller. With his historical garb and burning torch in hand, he took us back in time. His deep knowledge and passion for Munich's history brought every stop on the tour to life. You could practically hear the horses' hooves on the cobblestones and see the hustle and bustle of the medieval market in front of you.
What was particularly impressive was the way the night watchman combined historical facts with exciting anecdotes and legends. He knew exactly how to captivate the group, whether through scary stories about the plague or fascinating accounts of the lives of commoners and nobles. His humor and charismatic personality made the tour not only informative but also extremely entertaining.
The atmosphere created by the flickering torches and the nighttime backdrop of Munich was simply magical. The narrow streets and historic buildings looked even more impressive in the torchlight and it was easy to imagine what life must have been like here many centuries ago.
I highly recommend this medieval torchlight tour. It is a must for any history lover and a wonderful way to see Munich from a completely new perspective. A big thank you to our amazing night watchman who made this tour an unforgettable experience!

Highly recommended! - It was a super informative night watchman's walk. Our night watchman had a very nice manner, you could listen to him very well. He told us a lot of details about the individual stops in Munich, it was very exciting 🤩
He was also able to calmly and confidently deal with the occasional disturbance from drunk football fans. I would definitely recommend it to everyone 😊
