Great tour of highlights of Munich!

Published on Feb, 2025

What a perfect walking tour to learn about the history and sights of this charming City! Our guide Victoria was very knowledgeable and had several great stories about the origins of München, its churches, and markets. She offered restaurant recommendations as well. We could not have asked for a better tour for our short stay in Munich!

Loved it!

Published on Nov, 2024

Victoria was absolutely one of the best tour guides we have ever had! Her personality was perfect for this role. She is knowledgeable and has so much to offer. Even my 14 year old was entertained! We did this as our first tour and I would highly recommend doing that should you visit Munich. There is so much we would have missed should we have not gotten the tour first. 10 out of 10 for sure!

Very knowledgeable

Published on Oct, 2024

I would like to say that my guide Victoria was excellent and very knowledgeable about all the details and intricacies with the details of the tour. Really opens up the history of how the area and developed through out the years. Definitely recommend this tour A definite 5 stars!

Excellent tour of the Marienplatz and its history.

Published on Aug, 2024

Our walking tour of the Munich Marienplatz with Victoria was an excellent experience. She was knowledgeable, personable, and responsive to all of our questions. She used her iPad to share old photos of sites to help explain key historical events and their impact, which increased our enjoyment of the tour. She has an excellent command of the English language that further enhanced our experience. We highly recommend Victoria to anyone wanting to explore the Marienplatz and its surrounding areas with a well-experienced, knowledgeable guide.

Fantastic Tour of Old Town Munich

Published on Jul, 2024

We had an amazing private tour through Old Town Munich! Arriving in Munich decided to take this tour last minute as a way of getting the “lay of the land” and some history on Munich. It did not disappoint! Victoria contacted us right after booking to make sure we had the meet up info. She was super professional, prepared, and knowledgeable. 90 minute walking tour of Old Town gave us a great overview of the history of Munich, but in a very natural, conversational way. Covered everything from origins of Munich to art and architecture to local traditions and history. Small touches made a big difference. Really enjoyed learning about the local beer traditions here. More importantly, she gave us great ideas of what to explore next. Also have great restaurant and shopping recommendations that were really helpful. We’re now on day four a multi-country trip. I’ve experienced many tour guides. Most of them were just so-so - I felt as though they were just going through the motions and frankly just making stuff up. Victoria, though, is the real deal. She was super engaged and looked like she really enjoyed sharing the local history with us. Highly recommend her!!!
