good guide - Ana was a trove of local history. I now know about the local salt trade, where the local breweries get their water, and why hofbräus are called that.

Amazing Tour and Guide - Liana was amazing! We loved the information she gave, how she tailored things to our group, and how she knew the answer (and more!) to every single question we asked. I would recommend this private tour to anyone, thanks to her.

Excellent walking tour - Alex was a fabulous guide and answered all of our questions. It was a great way to get introduced to the city, and I highly recommend it to people on their first visit to Munich. An absolutely beautiful city and such a lovely, engaging guide.

Informative tour! - This tour was booked for a sports team during their layover in Munich (8 teenagers and 4 adults). The group found the tour very informative and it made their visit to town much more meaningful. Maybe one suggestion is to add more legends/funny stories to make the content lighter especially when dealing with a group of tired teenagers. 😁
