Great introduction to city center for first time visitors. Provides lots of history, good to know rules for walking and establishment closing times. Even popped into a local meat market for a sandwich and beer to go!! Aussie was very knowledgeable and interactive with our group. Fun time!!

Ozzie is one of the best tour guides we have ever enjoyed. He is very friendly and provides a tour with excellent education and entertainment. He did a great job explaining the history and importance of Bavaria and its importance for Germany. His tour is an easy walk with lots of stops as Ozzie shares the city and answers questions. We give this tour our highest recommendation.

Overview

This half-day tour puts the spotlight on the city's character through commentary about Munich's history, and cultural experiences like a Bavarian food and beer tasting.

Great tour!

Paul_H, Jun 2026
Great walking tour of Munich with Ozzy. This was far more than a walking tour, as Ozzy provided a comprehensive understanding of Munich culture, history, and politics. We did the tour on our first full day in Munich and it definitely gave us more appreciation for things we saw and observed during the rest of our vacation. The tour did last about 4.5 hours so I would plan your schedule accordingly.

Tour guide provided so...

Robert_M, Jun 2026
Tour guide provided so much good info on history of city, information about region, state, and govt, religious importance to the city.

The Bavarian experience

Steven_M, Jun 2026
Our guide, Ozzie, provided exceptional insights into Bavarian history and culture. The tour was conducted at a comfortable pace, and his articulate presentation reflected a genuine passion for his work. We were particularly impressed by his authentic attire, which significantly enhanced the immersive experience. A big thank you from Australian travellers.

Great tour

Karen_H, Jun 2026
Otto was knowledgeable, entertaining and enthusiastic. We learned a lot on this tour. We covered a lot of ground and information.

Good information but very wordy. A bit too much personal opinion, The route of tour was helpful to get oriented in Munich.

A true learning experience with the sage of Munich!

Jeff_S, Jun 2026
Ozzie was an exemplary tour guide. He shared the themes of Munchen society and history and how they are part of European culture and society. We left the tour not only enjoying the sites but also understanding their meaning and symbolism. We will, as Ozzie implored, pay this wisdom forward!

Great tour!

Kim_P, Jun 2026
Fantastic tour! Ozzie was informative, engaging, courteous and super fun! Highly recommend this tour!

Information intensive.

CHARLES_A, Jun 2026
Oz is a very informative guide. He wants you to learn how and why Bavaria and its citizens are unique.

Ozzie was a great guide...

Kurt_P, Jun 2026
Ozzie was a great guide (“Fuhrer”). Very knowledgeable about Munchin and his guiding style was great too. The only reason I don’t give five stars is because he implied that other guides and tours are not as good.

So much information in a short period of time

KimVilkaitisOhrns, Jun 2026
Our guide was so knowledgeable and passionate. He had so much wisdom to impart. Key words: Jesus, pork, and beer! What a great tour!

Awesome tour

dan_m, Jun 2026
Ozzie was fantastic! Knowledgeable and energetic!!! Friendly and a wealth of knowledge you should really take this tour! I learned a lot

Excellent tour!

Rebecca_D, Jun 2026
Ozzie was our tour guide for an immersive Munich city walking tour — way worthy of our time and attention. With over 20 years of experience, he's incredibly knowledgeable. When I come back, I'll look for his tour again. He's the kind of person who tells you directly, "these are the facts," and lets you consider everything discussed as you like and at your own tolerance. No hiding, no spin — just the facts. We had a great lunch at the Viktualienmarkt, drank some beer, walked, talked, and listened. Everyone liked him. He even helped our fellow travelers who'd run into a problem with their rental car — he called the rental place on their behalf and got it solved. Yes, he really did. Impressive.

We did not have a good...

Robert_H, Jun 2026
We did not have a good experience at the beginning because the meeting point that you designate was in the back alley a small hotel lobby, which took us a long time to find and we missed the beginning. I would suggest that the meeting points to be at a obvious business joint such as McDonald right outside the entry gate to the real beginning point of the walking tour

Amazing tour!

Tonya_M, Jun 2026
We learned so much about Munich and Bavaria from our wonderful tour guide, Ozzie! We highly recommend this tour. Be prepared to learn about Munich’s history, culture, economics, geography, religion, politics, food, entertainment, and more. And wear comfortable walking shoes!

This was a great tour...

Megan_J, Jun 2026
This was a great tour Ozzy by far is the best tour guide I’ve had traveling through many countries! Very knowledgeable friendly and will show you great places to go too while in Munich!

Ozzy gives an unmissable tour of Munich!

Annette_B, Jun 2026
Ozzy is about the best tour guide we ever experienced after many years with Viator. He is funny, informative and thorough, explaining culture, history and subtleties of the Bavarians. I lived in Bavaria many years ago and Ozzy has rekindled my love and respect for its ways. I feel we really were given a big glimpse in 4 hours of Munich and it’s people. .

Bavarian Munich

JennieLyons, Jun 2026
The dapper Aus was THE guide of guides. I have learnt so much about Munich. Completely enjoyable 3 hours! Worth every euro!!

This was the best walking...

Richard_A, Jun 2026
This was the best walking tour we’ve ever taken! It was a cultural and historical education on Munich as well as a fun experience.

Very disappointed

Andrew_M, May 2026
This is definitely the worst tour I have ever gone on. The tour guide was too over confident talking about his beliefs. We only visited 5 buildings or sites in over 3 1/2 hours. Most people on our tour lost interest. You could not even ask a question as he would talk over you. Sorry for being negative but I only had 2 days in Munich and this wasted a lot of this time.

Book it!!

Casie_B, May 2026
Extremely informative tour. He was a great tour guide and I would book him again if I ever return to Munich.

Only Walking Tour to Take

Denise_B, May 2026
Ozzie, our guide was amazing. He was knowledgeable and gave an interesting back history on every cite we saw! He was also very funny! We usually explore a new city with a hop on hop off bus but this was SO much better and I think less money!! He brought us places that only an insider would know, told us where we should visit afterwards and even told us the best ways to get to other sites! Can’t recommend him enough!!!

Great tour

Joe_C, May 2026
This was a great tour. Ozzy was amazing. So much info about the city and surrounding area. If you go on this tour make sure it is in the beginning of your trip to soak ip all the info you can!

Worth it!

Armen_G, May 2026
Great experience and a lot of history not just only about Munich but surrounding countries. We learned a lot and the guide was funny and well informed.

Ozzy was an excellent...

PaulA_G, May 2026
Ozzy was an excellent tour guide. It was an education of Munich. Over the four hours, we learned much about Munich. It is a conservative city that does not want to be changed. It is a Catholic city with a working class population. The people of Munich are Bavarians, not Germans. Needless to say, it was an interesting tour.

Good tour but not for everyone

Jacqueline_B, May 2026
I am in two minds about this tour. I really liked Oz and he clearly knows his stuff (and speaks loudly and clearly), and he was very helpful as I needed to catch a train to the airport. However, I think it was the wrong tour for me. I wanted to see more sights and be told about them. I saw five things and we spent a lot of time listening to info on Bavaria and Munich. Really interesting but as I only had the morning before flying out I probably should have chosen a different tour - if you do this tour and then have time to explore afterwards it’ll work for you. The only thing to note is that it is not 3h15 as advertised. I had to leave part way through the tour to catch a train as the tour was going on for another hour or so past the advertised duration.

Great

Jennifer_G, May 2026
Very informative with an in depth history of Bavaria and we covered a lot of important locations in the city

Jesus, beer and pork in Munich Bavaria

Gerda_B, May 2026
Ozzie is an excellent tour guide. I loved the focus on the culture of Munich, pointing out some key landmarks so you can go back and explore further. Having a beer hanging on a lanyard around my neck and drinking whilst walking, was a grwat and unque Munich experience.

We ❤️ Ozzy!

Katie_B, May 2026
You delivered a ton of information in such an engaging way! Wish it was longer! Thank you so very much!
