Michelle was awesome! She came up with a plan after receiving our questionnaire and she nailed it. Michelle kept things going and gave information out, just as my family liked. She was very knowledgeable about Munich. Would recommend Michelle for your tour!!!

Tara, Dec 2024

Great tour catered to our needs and desires. Linus our guide was so excited to tell us all about his city and its history as well as current interesting facts.

Tara, Dec 2024

We learned so much, aw so many key sights and it was catered to what we needed. Our guide Linus was delightful and so excited to tell us all about Munich.

Douglas, Dec 2024

Our time spent with Naveen was fantastic. Without speaking it he was able to read how we were feeling and pivot the tour in directions that we were not expecting. Also his true care for us and wanting to make sure we had the best experience we can have. Also following up before and after to help us navigate Munich and going well above and beyond. I could not speak highly enough and recommend a guide better.

James, May 2023

Our guide Brigid was able to give us some historical info on Munich and show us quite a few highlight locations. Good tour if you have limited time and are new to Munich.

Richard, Dec 2022

Franz was fantastic. He was able to cater the Munich walking tour to our desired wishes of a mix of historical churches and World War II sites. He introduced us to several Munich dining treats that we would not likely have eaten otherwise. He also went out of his way to get us a coveted same day dinner reservation in Munich during the height of Christmas market season (which was even more appreciated when we saw the line extending well out into the street when we showed up at our dining time). Will search him out again on future trips to Bavaria.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Absolutely! Whether you want a blend of food, history, local culture, or nightlife, your host will seamlessly weave them together into one immersive experience.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I adjust the plan on the day?

Of course! Your experience is flexible, so you can explore at your own pace and make changes along the way.

What kind of stories and insights will my host share?

Each host has their own personal relationship with the city. You'll experience the city through their eyes—hearing stories about places they love, discovering hidden gems, and learning what makes their city special in a way that goes beyond a typical tour.

Will we enter attractions, or just explore from the outside?

That’s up to you! Some experiences include visits inside attractions, while others focus on the city's culture and atmosphere, which can be hard to truly experience without someone who knows the city inside out.

How much walking is involved?

This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
