I had a great experience with my guide. She was very knowledgeable and really nice and helpful. The tour itself was extremely interesting and I got to see all the main historical spots around the city center. The walking is very manageable even for the two hours as everything is quite close to each other. I felt like I learned loads about the history of the city. I've done many of these tours and this is definitely one of the better ones. Highly recommend!

Day trip did not pass on any information that we had discussed which was very frustrating. They had said I needed 2 pedicabs and charged me for that and then one showed up. However, our driver was beyond amazing and pushed all 3 of us around Munich.

Very interesting tour. Not too seriously historic but nice and light.

Our guide Gabrielle was very friendly and informative recommend

Although it was a freezing, snowy day, it was worth it!
