A great experience - One of my favorite experiences in Munich. The “true crime” theme is really an opportunity to look at the history of the city through a different lens, and it definitely delivered. Yes, there are many fascinating stories, but I most appreciated that our tour guide did such a great job of explaining the cultural/historical context in which many of these crimes occurred. You walk away getting a better sense of Munich through many different time periods, including present day. Can’t recommend enough.

A must for true crime fans - I highly recommend this tour. I did this tour in March with Katrina and it was absolutely fantastic. Katrina was super knowledgeable about Munich and the all the true crime stops on the tour. This was a great way to see the city and learn a little about the true crime of Munich. liked this tour so much I did the Ghost and Spirts tour the next night which was also excellent. Wear comfortable shoes as you get to see a lot during the two hour tour. The walk is a flat walk with no hills.
