City surfing and garden walk - Of course all the historical sites, but watching the surfers then walking in the park was an unexpected delight.

Highly recommended - What a great time we had with Camilla, our guide for the afternoon. Camilla was not only very friendly and a great conversationalist, but also very knowledgeable about the city. She brought the city to life with interesting facts about various points of interest that only a local would know. The tour was thorough and well paced. Highly recommended.

Fantastic - It was a really good experience, Camilla was great, she shared some facts we did not know which I enjoyed knowing about. We walked a lot! Four hrs was a good amount of time to know and see more of the city.

Phenomenal English, speaking walking tour of Munich - Spending the day with Nino was well worth it. She had incredible knowledge on the history of Munich in Germany, and was very pleasant throughout the entire trip. I would highly recommend her. She speaks very fluent English, and completely understood all of our questions.

Good for a quick overview. - The guide was enthusiastic & knowledgeable, but could have managed time better for us to cover more sites.

Very confusing and frustrating - In the description it says that "After booking, you can adjust the meeting point to fit your preferences", however when we booked the tour, the guide refused to customize our meeting point and didn't even explain why. At the same time we received an email from the company stating that the guide will meet us at the hotel. And then another email from the company confirming meeting at our hotel. That was all very confusing. We were not sure if the guide will come to our hotel after all or not, will the tour happen tomorrow or not. Should we plan something else or wait for third confirmation? When we asked the guide (direct quote) "why do you say one thing and your company says another thing?", the guide canceled the tour and wrote us that we are being aggressive and rude, and we should be more polite. Not sure what was rude and aggressive about this message, but whatever. The whole experience dealing with this company was a waste of time. If you want a smooth vacation with a friendly service from the guide, look elsewhere.

No SHOW Tour Guide- NO COMMUNICATION - We were confirmed for a private Munich History tour at 2pm. We showed up at the meeting place and NO Tour guide. Called Viator and she said guide cancelled. Seriously they had my phone number as well as my email absolutely no communication! This was our only day in Munich if we were notified earlier in the day we could have made other sight seeing plans.

Do NOT waste your money. Awful company to deal with. - Absolute waste of money! Your operator made contact within last 24 hours (therefore we couldn’t get refund) and changed pick up point. Actual tour operator is not who you book with. Guide that was appointed to us communicated with us via email not through app. Created issues as we don’t use email unless on wifi. Last contact to us was at 10:55pm at night via email with contradictory information of the tour meeting point at 8am next day. We had many phone calls between the “booking company” and tried to cancel. Just shy of $1000 for 4 of us. No refund offered despite us asking. Our boys went on the 4 hour tour. Tour guide was constantly arrogant and rude to them about us not going. Also wound up the tour 20 minutes prior to 4 hours. Also we had completed survey of what we’d wanted to see and your was NOT tailored to this. Last night we spoke to booking company again with guarantee they’d get back to us ASAP to resolve our disappointment - but have never heard back. Waste of time, money and extremely awful business to deal with. Buy a map and do it yourself. Boys said they learnt more on the hop on hop off bus
