Top 10 Walking Tours in Munich, Bavaria

June 14, 2021 Velvet Mowry

Munich exudes Bavarian charm. Beer fanatics should head immediately to the Hofbräuhaus, a hops heaven that’s been churning out the good stuff since 1589. The drinking is downright legendary during Oktoberfest, a celebration of local beers and German specialty foods. Emulate world-class athletes at the Olympiapark, where skating on the Olympic ice rink will make you feel like a champion. The promenade of Marienplatz is perfect for people watching and gawking at the Glockenspiele of City Hall.

Wonderful tour by a knowledgeable guide before the castle tour! He had obviously done his research and was able to add more, and more historically accurate, details. Lots of "fun" facts, too (I had no idea what BMW stood for or why the logo looks looks like it does. I do now!). He knows all the best spots for pictures and the best times to get them in before the next tour groups arrive. Skipping the line for the castle tour tickets was a real plus. Highly recommend!

After taking Curts great city tour, I deceided to take his third reich tour as well. He was really able to communicate the depths of the third reich in a way that I had never expierenced before. The tour was augmented by the use of images and videos of the destruction of the second world war and the Hitler and other majior Nazis standing right where we stood. This tour was really able to give me an understanding of how the holocaust came about, something I had never really been able to wrap my head around. Curt took extra time giving us a custom made tour by leading us to different areas based on our specific interests. In addition, he shared stories from holocaust survivors he personally knows. I can only suggest Curts tour as it not only showed me the sights of this dark time, but also taught me a great deal!.

Booking a walking tour with City Unscripted was without question the best decision ever and would definitely repeat this tour experience! Stefano is an amazing guide, who adapts the tour to fit the audience's interests/questions, while also offering insights into/fascinating facts about the iconic buildings, rich culture and history of the region, the communities, the traditions, how to utilize the transportation systems, and suggestions for creating your own wonderful memories of Munich, etc. If you want to experience Munich, not just wander the tourist locations, may you be so fortunate as to have Stefano as your guide!

We did an excellent tour with our guide Paul. We are glad that we did it. He is an excellent knowledgeable guide, very caring and a lovely person. We visited St. Peter's Church, Platzl an der Orlandostrasse, Bayerische Staatsoper, U-Bahn to Odeonsplatz etc with him. He was very nice to us during our entire visit, patience as a guide should be, explaining history of each place along with some fun. If we ever visit Munich again, we shall hire Paul. Highly recommended.

Writing novels inspires me through the fitting and exciting view of history. This is an outdoor tour. We are not going inside museums. Dukes, Generals and kings surround a career of fighting, weddings and the love to the arts. In this tour I bring the participants closer to the sponsors of art and culture in the country and give a first impression of contemporary art in the city of Munich. Reserve a seat for my popular Welcome Tour through Munich. Visit places like Viktualienmarkt hearing about our comediants, Isartorplatz, Red Riding Hood fountain, the royal residence. I tell exciting stories about Munich and its history and you get exclusive tips for your stay and shopping in Munich. The tour progress depends on the group and it is not a marathon. We walk comfortably through the planned course and no one will experience unanswered questions here.

Inclusions: Professional guide

Munich is famous for Oktoberfest. Before this city became so famous, there was a lot of history to be told. Beer halls, beer gardens, and cellars tell different chapters from or history. I don't offer any guide, but me. See my reviews, write to me with your questions and enjoy my positive art. I taste all the beers to give you the proper information. I live in Bavaria for over 37 years, know the local culture and history and have a lot of energy to entertain you. I visit frequently the best restaurants in the city and can offer full support for your visit to the city. Whether you come on vacation, or for a congress, in this event you also can get information about what to do in the next days in Munich. I bring you to the different houses and tell you the history behind them. Secrets of the second world war, love affairs, and politics. Everything combined in four hours of fun. My groups are small, till 15 people and we don't run through the city, but enjoy it.

Inclusions: 3 Samplers per Person only, Museum Adimission, Subway and Tram-Bahn costs in rainy days are included

Exclusions: Any Food will be paid per guest
