“It wasn't quite clear where to meet the guide since there is quite a lot of space around the statue. There was also a mention in the instructions to get there 15 mins earlier but since nobody else was there, we started to worry if we just hadn't found the group and they already left. After finding the guide though (who was right on time) the following tour was pretty great! We got a lot of nice information on the city and the additional pictures really helped understanding everything. Thanks a lot!”

A 3.25-hour guided walk through Munich’s landmarks, beer halls, and markets, plus Third Reich context and an optional Bavarian lunch stop.
“The tour was informative, but the explanations were quite lengthy at times. Given the cold and snowy weather, it would have been more comfortable if the group had not been required to stand outside for extended periods.
