My Munich tour differs from my other tours, as I live here and can offer variations here in Munich that I cannot at other destinations.

I can do a 4-hour old town walking tour that centers around the almost 900 years since the original town walls were built. This tour is a walking tour, so no vehicle is invloved, but can require the Munich public transport system, depending on our itinerary. The public transport system here is safe, convenient, clean, and punctual. As with all my tours, an itinerary will be suggested by me but it will be flexible and can be shaped around your interests and wishes, and the entire day, with small exceptions, can be totally spontaneous. The tour can be a Munich history tour, a beer history and beer-hall based tour, including a lunch break, or anything you like. Please see the walking tour description below in the driving tours to get an overview of some of the sites we will experience.

We can also do a 10-hour Munich and surrounding area excursion with a car, depending on your interests. The actual destinations are not set in stone but can be fine-tuned ahead of time or as we go.

This tour involves: 10-hour Munich and surrounding area tour: This tour will always include a walking tour of the old city. In this part of the tour, the Glockenspiel is a must. It is a carillon in the New Town Hall that gives us a small show every day at 11 am and 12 noon (and 5 pm in the summer period). Things and sites we can see and visit include the Marienplatz, the original city gates, the oldest church in Munich – St. Peters Church –  (plus various other churches if so desired), the Viktualienmarkt, the Residenz area – which is the site of the Nazi’s first (failed) attempt to take power in 1923, The Königsplatz – which is not only beautiful but has its historical roots in both the Royal Family and national socialism. For people interested in WWII history we can base a portion of our day there. Perhaps a day combining a visit to the Dachau concentration camp (on request) combined with the WWII and medieval history of Munich. But the possibilities do not end there. There are numerous lakes and beautiful areas that can be included in this tour. There is the wonderful lake Starnberg where Ludwig II (the builder of the Neuschwanstein castle) died offers boat tours with stops around the lake. Lake Tegernsee, where we can also take boat rides, has a cable car to a mountain top Biergarten, where we can have lunch and enjoy a tremendous view of the lake. And, of course, we cant mention Munich tours without saying “beer”. Various places to visit include the Andechser Monastery, where the monks still brew their own beer, or the Ayinger brewery, where we can arrange a 2-hour brewery tour and get a beer tasting along with detailed insight into beer brewing (this is rather pricy due to the brewery pricing for small groups) and others. Of course, we also have the Nymphenburg Palace, the birthplace of King Ludwig II.

The day can be planned around your personal interests so it can all be customized to fit your wishes.
