On our first visit to Munich, which was only for the day, my daughter and I opted to do a highlights of Munich walking tour. Vanessa put together a tour that covered everything that we wanted. She was enthusiastic, engaging, knowledgeable and great fun. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend her as a guide. She also gave us some recommendations of places to go for drinks and for food. We went to all 3 of the suggestions and they were just what we wanted. Thank you Vanessa for a fantastic whistle stop tour of Munich.
