On the road with the night watchman: Discover secret paths and legends in Honor

As the dwellers of Honor retire, the night watchman’s time comes. Ancient stories rekindle in the sputtery glow of the soot-filled lantern. The night watchman is well-versed with all the concealed routes and niches of the city. Guiding with his halberd and fluttering coat, he reveals the correct path in the city’s darkness.

Highlights
  • St. Peter’s Church - First, this city tour takes you to Munich’s oldest church, the Old Peter. The night watchman saw with his own eyes how the devil once hung on the top of Old Peter’s tower and fought with the watchman. That is the reason why the tower is still slightly crooked today. After a few steps we are already in the old cemetery and discover stone evidence of the past. What funeral customs were there in the past and where does the saying come from that stinks to heaven?

Particularly beautiful tour with night watchwoman - The tour was very nice and I will book it again when I have visitors. Munich used to be different. You could easily get into the old days of Munich. I didn’t know much yet, although I have lived here for 25 years and have participated in several guided tours.

Very exciting told and great guide - Although such guided tours aren’t really my thing (at least I thought, therefore not booked before), I was very enthusiastic about the look, the storytelling and the generated group dynamics of the guide (Katl?). Thank you, the tour put the crown on my first day in Munich.

very authentic and informative tour highly recommended - The night watchman tour was very authentic and informative and at times even amusing. Our guide put a lot of effort into it and you often had the impression that you were in the Middle Ages.

No guide, No Tour - Couldn’t find the tour guide. Never received a call, email or text saying it changed. Didn’t know until 7 to double check we had printed out the ticket that there was any communication. We called three different numbers to catch up with the guide, no one ever answered or called back. We were at the meet up place and never saw anyone.
