Very knowledgeable about church history. Very friendly. Would have been better to do this tour on a weekday, instead of a Sunday, when everything is closed.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re thrilled that you found your host very knowledgeable about the church’s history and friendly throughout the experience. We’re sorry that visiting on a Sunday meant some places were closed. We appreciate your helpful suggestion and will certainly keep this in mind. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again for an even more enjoyable experience!

Michelle showed us the highlights of Munich via a private walking and public transportation tour. She made it possible to go to the surfing spot in the English Garden, view the glockenspiel at the Rathaus, and go to the White Rose Memorial. Our granddaughters loved experiencing the S-bahn!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We're so happy to hear your family enjoyed such a memorable introduction to Munich. From the English Garden surfers to the White Rose Memorial and your granddaughters' S-Bahn adventure, it sounds like the experience had something special for everyone.
Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback. We're delighted you made such wonderful memories together!
It was a great private tour which met at our hotel. Had a lot to cover and perhaps too focused on churches
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your private experience and that meeting your host at the hotel made for a convenient start to your day.
We also appreciate your comments regarding the itinerary. Your feedback about the experience feeling a little too focused on churches is incredibly valuable and helps us continue improving the balance of our personalized experiences.
I really liked the guided tour with City Unscripted. I got what I asked for and that felt good. My guide was Michelle and I think that she was nice, helpful and knowledgable about Munich's history.
Before my trip to Munich, I got to chat with Michelle in a private chat group at City Unscripted's web page. That was very good. I asked her questions and got answers. I can absolutely see myself booking other activities with City Unscripted in the future.
Response from Host, Aug 2026

Loved my private walking tour of Munich! Having a guide just for me made it so easy to ask questions and go at my own pace. I got a great overview of the city’s history and architecture, from Marienplatz to lesser-known spots I wouldn’t have found on my own. Really personalized and informative experience- highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jul 2026

Very informative tour covering the long history of Munchen. Guide was very accommodating of my need to limit the amount of walking. Guide covered topics of particular interest to me.

Naveem was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, beyond the tour. He sent us food recs for Munich, as well as the other cities we were visiting. On the tour, he gave us great tips and insight, and I wholly recommend the experience.
Response from Host, Jul 2026

For us.. there was confusion on where to meet. Our paperwork indicated at our hotel, but the tour operator said to meet at a fountain several miles away. We did not get a two hour tour for this reason. I give it three stars since I liked the tour operator and its Viators fault the meeting place was incorrect.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hello Ben,
We're sorry to hear there was confusion about the meeting point, and we understand how frustrating that must have been. We're glad to know you still enjoyed your time with your host despite the mix-up. We'll also review the meeting point information with our booking partners to help prevent this kind of confusion for future guests.
We truly appreciate your understanding and hope we'll have the opportunity to provide you with the seamless experience you originally expected.
Warm regards,
Sheenah and the City Unscripted team.
