Our guide, Ender, was very knowledgeable. He explained the history, politics, architecture and culture of Munich in a very engaging way. We asked to have some food & beer and he knew the perfect places.

From the moment we met Naveen, it felt like reconnecting with an old friend. He was incredibly personable, warm, and flexible—tailoring the day perfectly to our interests while sharing fascinating insights and hidden gems around Munich. His deep local knowledge and easygoing nature made the experience feel authentic and effortless. We never felt like we were on a formal tour—it was more like exploring the city with a friend who truly loves it. Highly recommend!

Barbara ran a fantastic food and drink tour with a ton of information about local history and customs. All of the stops easily equated to a full dinner and the drinks were great on top of it. My wife and I had a not-so-great food tour in Zurich before so this was a breath of fresh air!

Bob is a terrific host, very fun and knowledgeable about Munich and its history. The food portion of the tour was unlike other food tours we have been on, though. Instead of stopping in various restaurants for different bites and drinks, Bob brought most of the food and drink with him, and we sampled them in out of the way spots along the street. Still enjoyable, just unexpected.

Your questions, answered
Is this a traditional tour or something different?
This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.
How does personalization work?
After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary..
Can I mix different themes in one experience?
Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.
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?
Absolutely. Your host can adjust the itinerary on the day based on your pace, energy, or any new ideas you have. It’s a flexible experience from start to finish.
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.
Can my experience accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes! You'll receive a questionnaire right after booking where you can note any dietary requirements, and your host will tailor the experience accordingly.
Do you have deals with restaurants or set food stops?
No, unlike traditional food tours, our hosts are free to take you to their personal favorite spots rather than fixed locations. This means your food experience will always be unique, with authentic and unbiased recommendations from someone who knows the local food scene best.
Is this experience physically demanding?
We can tailor the experience to be as active or relaxed as you like—just let us know what suits you best!
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.
