Join me for a fun and informative 2.5 hour walking tour around the wonderful old city of Munich. Along the way you will learn about the origins of the city, cool king's, local legends, Third Reich history and of course the Bavarian culture, traditions and beer!
I want you to learn but put emphasis on having a good time, so I teach history through telling engaging and fun stories. This is an interactive tour, so I will be asking you lot of questions. In my experience, the best tours are when everyone feels involved in the learning experience.
The tour includes a 15-minute break, which allows you to look inside the Hofbräuhaus and go to the toilet and get food/ drink. At the end of the tour you will get a list of great recommendations for restaurants and things to do.
Weather:
During colder months I will do my best to make sure the tour is mostly undercover, so that you are comfortable and during Summer I'll keep you in the shade.
Group size:
The average group size is 10 - 30 people throughout the year depending on the season and what events are happening in the city.
Although I do most of the tours myself, I do have a small team of guides who also work for me with similar guiding styles.
Important!:
The afternoon tour is a bit shorter at 2h15.
The tour are in English and maximum group size per booking is 6.
Do not make multiple bookings for a larger group and if you want to bring extra people to the tour then you need to ask before the tour! Don't just bring people and expect they can join. Please have some respect for us guides and the group sizes.

We will discover hidden and unconventional places in Munich during a 2:15-hour city walk.
We experience how the new public theater 'Volkstheater' connects past and present in the vibrant Schlachthofviertel and immerse ourselves in the lively and colorful world of 'Bahnwärter Thiel' - this dynamic event and cultural space is created from over 40 shipping containers decorated with graffiti.
We will also follow the fascinating transformation of a discarded excursion boat into one of Munich's cultural highlights - the 'Alte Utting'.
