Great walking tour! Highly recommend - We loved our tour! Alex was very knowledgeable and took us around the main sites in the old town. He could answer our questions about the history but more importantly shared what it was like to live in Germany and catered the tour to what we were interested in. Also most of the tour could be about WW2 but instead he had “history sections” so we learned the history in chunks and learned about Munich pre WW2 as well. Highly recommend!!

Everything you need to know about Munich - Alex was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide (and from Munich), open to lots of questions and covers Munich through all the ages (including dark times), customs, food and of course beer!

Basic Informational tour. Be ready to walk fast to keep up. - The tour states rain or shine and they mean it. I called the day before asking if we could reschedule due to the weather forecast but, our started at 9:30 AM the next day and they didn't answer their office phones until 9:30 the day before and denied our request. We showed up anyway and our tour went on despite wind driven rain and temps in the 30's (Fahrenheit). Their office (meeting place) has no restrooms or access to a restroom and no complimentary water but they will sell you an umbrella or disposable rain poncho for 10 EURO or more. Our guide worked form as 3 ring binder with notes and pictures. We never entered any buildings. BE AWARE: Our guide walked at a VERY fast pace. We are older and slower and ended up leaving the tour, unable to keep up and cold from the wind and rain.
