What's the Best Way to See Munich?
When you visit Munich, you have choices. You can join a standard group with twenty strangers, following a rigid schedule. Or you can sightsee with someone who lives here, at your own pace, on your own terms.
Munich guides who work with City Unscripted don't follow scripts. They adapt to you. Want to spend an hour at a café people-watching? Perfect. Prefer to cover more ground quickly? They'll mirror your energy.
The difference isn't just personal attention. It's the freedom to make your way through Munich the way it feels right to you, with someone who calls this city home.
Anything from Oktoberfest to Bavaria beer tours can be arranged.

Why Choose a Private Guide Over a Group Guided Tour?
Private guided tours in Munich offer something group experiences can't: flexibility built around your interests.
Group guided tours follow predetermined routes. Private tour guides create experiences. They notice when you're fascinated by baroque architecture and suggest places you'd never find alone.
They know which beer gardens locals actually frequent and when to avoid the tourist crowds.

Real Stories, Not Scripts: What Sets Our Experiences Apart
Traditional guided tours in Munich city follow the same path, share the same facts, make the same stops. City Unscripted experiences are different. Each private guide brings their own perspective, their own favorite places, their own way of sharing Munich.
One host might be passionate about Munich's art scene and know galleries tucked away from the main streets.
Another might focus on the city's role in German history, sharing stories that bring old buildings to life. A third might be all about the food culture, knowing exactly where to find the best pretzels and which beer gardens serve the freshest Weisswurst.

From New Town Hall to Hidden Gems: See Munich City Differently
Every visitor to Munich sees this attraction. The question is how you experience it. With an official tour guide who knows Munich's lesser-known corners, you might learn about the Glockenspiel's history, but also about the quiet courtyard behind it where locals grab coffee.
Famous sights become more meaningful when someone who lives here shares them with you. The stories are personal, not memorized.
This is where you'll find Munich off the beaten path experiences. These tucked-away places become your hidden gems.

How Our Private Guides Make the City Personal
The best guides don't just show you places. They connect you to them. When your host takes you to a beer garden, it's one they actually visit.
When they suggest a café, it's because they've spent mornings there. When they point out architecture details, it's because they find them genuinely interesting.

More Than Sights: Culture, Art, Beer & Locals
Munich's culture goes beyond its famous buildings. It's in the way people gather in beer gardens on sunny afternoons.
It's in the art galleries that feature both classical and contemporary work. It's in the markets where vendors have worked for decades, and the cafés where students debate late into the evening.
Your private guide can introduce you to these aspects of Munich life. You might try local specialties, but also understand why they matter to people who live here.
Maybe you'll enjoy dinner at a traditional restaurant locals recommend, or sample pretzels from a family bakery.

What If You Want to Take a Day Trip?
Munich makes an excellent base for exploring south Germany. The Romantic Road starts nearby, leading to medieval towns and castle-dotted landscapes. Nymphenburg Palace offers royal gardens and baroque splendor. The Alps are close enough for a day in the mountains.
Private guides with local knowledge can suggest day trip options that suit your interests and timeline. Some visitors want the fairy-tale castles. Others prefer small towns with local character. Still others want to experience the German countryside.
