The guide was very friendly and curious, well informed and interesting. The pacing of the tour is excellent and you get the feeling there is no rush, there is always time to ask questions. We live in Munich and have visited a couple of places on the tour before , but the guide has given a new light on these by drawing you into the rich history. Highly recommended for both tourists and locals !

We booked this tour for our teen, who is really into history--specifically WWII. They said: "It was really good, I learned a lot of things and found it quite easy to ask the guide questions. It was quite informative and covered a large breadth of history."

This was an excellent tour as a single traveller I met a lot of other travelers and enjoyed hearing about the history of the Munich beer halls and breweries. Liam was a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide.
