Ana was an EXCELLENT guide. She was very engaging and knowledgeable about Munich and her family has been there for generations. She talked about the history of Munich and how her family was a part of it. I really enjoyed it and encourage anyone coming to this fantastic city to take this tour.

We had an enjoyable tour with our tour guide Patrick. This was a great way to cover most of the important buildings in the central area of the Munich Altstadt. There is so much history here and I appreciated hearing stories from these eras - Middle Ages through to the present. We got to go inside three of the main churches briefly to admire and compare the different styles (Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance). We were also given recommendations for places to eat. We also watched the 11am Glockenspiel show. It's a great way to get orientated to Munich and learn some more about all the buildings. My favourite was the Theatinerkirche!

Patrick was absolutely superb! He guided us through the historical aspects of Munich in with just the right amount of detail. He had a refreshing sense of humor that would periodically surface! His explanations of the architecture added to the overall understanding of the City of Munich. We highly recommend Patrick to future travelers!

Our guide Patrick was terrific. Warm, knowledgeable, and entertaining. He knows all about the city, its history, architecture and art, and its customs. We’ve done walking tours of several other cities as a way to get our bearings when we arrive in a new place, and Patrick’s tour of Old Munich ranks among the best. He also gave us some helpful recommendations for restaurants, beer halls, and sites to visit. Thank you!

Patrick did a fine job introducing us to various facets of the city, including historical, architectural and culinary. His voice was always clearly audible and the two hours flew by

Very good tour of Munich's old town that covered the main sights. Our guide was Maria was excellent, providing the right level of information without overwhelming with details. While the tour does enter into many of the sights (which we did later on our own), it did provide a good orientation to the history of Munich and the old town.

Great tour — Mark had a lot of information and told us the history in a very engaging manner. Seriously, I've been touring for 10 days now, and I didn't think I could fit one more fact in my head. I was actually planning on leaving the tour early because I'm so tired, but he kept my interest to the very end! Loved the overview of the history of Germany, told through different places that we were visiting along the way.

This was the perfect introduction and overview of Munich. Bernd was an excellent guide who took care to answer all questions and ensure we saw the highlights and had a good understanding of Munich. The tour description says we would see the glockenspiel at City Hall, however, we were told upon arrival it is not possible during the Christmas market season. I do wish that had been addressed ahead of time, however, Bernd, upon learning the importance to us of seeing it, adapted the tour to be sure we will able to catch a few minutes. We acknowledge and appreciate his efforts. This tour is a great value and I highly recommend to anyone visiting Munich.

Was a last minute decision and I don’t typically do 25 person walking tours. But Anna was amazing, intertwining the obvious history with her personal story. Gained so much insight just about the old town in 2hrs. Well worth the time and provided the ideas for many of the things we did next.
