This was a very good tour of Munich old town and several surrounding areas. Good mixture of going inside churches etc. and walking by buildings. Guide was very good and friendly.

Naveen was an amazing tour guide! He was knowledgeable and personable. We could have spent the whole day with him. We would recommend booking at least 4 hours with him to get a more complete tour of Munich. If we come back or have any family or friends visiting Bavaria we would highly recommend Naveen as a guide!

Anna was a spectacular guide who tailored our experience to include a beautiful walk in the English Garden with our children and advice on other places to visit. We particularly appreciated her explanations of some “off the map” pockets of history. Kudos!

Anna put together a lovely and informative tour of Munich. She adjusted when the weather wasn’t cooperating and I was still able to enjoy some unique sites and hear some history about Munich. I would highly recommend!

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.
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 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!
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.
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.
