Mat is the man - Had a 24 hr layover in Munich and glad I booked this tour. It was like having a friend in Munich that is a history and local expert. Was able to walk old town, see the main tourist attractions as well as try some of the food and drink. The church tower was a good start to understand reference points and see the city from higher up. He will tailor the tour to what you want to do, see or experience. He even helped send me back to the airport on the correct train to save some money on a taxi. Would highly recommend.

She was wonderful!she even snuck us in to see the oldest working mechanical clock in the world right at noon when it went off & completed its animation(pic attached)🤗 We 100% recommend!

Awesome! - Great communication and easy meet up! It was our first day so we were jet lagged but great to get out and walk around the city. Anna was so knowledgeable and took us to an awesome restaurant. Would recommend doing this your first or second day as it was a great way to familiarize yourself with the city.

Highly recommend this tour! It was the best tour on my trip to Munich. - You selected the right guide for me and she was wonderful. She certainly knows her history and she shared some great background and, I know, shared some things I would never learn just reading history. She has a great sense of humor and I actually do believe that we would be fast friends if she lived in the US. I highly recommend this tour.
