Linus was a great guide and tailored the walking tour of Munich to our particular interests. I would highly recommend him to anybody. His English was excellent and his knowledge of Munich, it’s sites and history was exceptional.

Michelle was fantastic. She is a great communicator and was very accommodating about a slight meeting time change for our family’s walking tour. She has a deep and impressive understanding of Munich, Bavarian and German history. It is obvious she loves leading tours and she is one of the best I’ve had—she is engaging and sincere and not corny or artificial in trying to make connections with the group members which I really appreciated. Would absolutely book her again.

We were pleasantly aurprised to find such a nice person with a good vibe and a lot of interesting information about the attraction that we saw. We totally recommend him and for sure when we are coming back to Munich we’re gonna get in touch with him to continue exploring the city together. The entire experience was next level, and we had the opportunity to connect with the city and understand a lot more than we were able to do if we went by ourselves.

This tour was fantastic and a great way to learn some of the larger/more well known sites of Munich as well as some local spots. Naveen was so kind, he seemed to have a heart of gold. He took our pre-tour survey very serious and remembered all the details. Naveen met us at our hotel, we took the train to city center and then walked around for a couple of hours. He recommended a great restaurant for us to eat at as well. I really enjoyed it and absolutely recommend.
