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.

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

Daniel_B, 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.

Markus was a fabulous host and guide. For three hours he walked us ( at our pace) around Munich in a sensible circle. We met in Maidenplatz, visited about 4 churches, some beautiful back alleys, the main shopping street, the river front ( with plenty of locals enjoying it on the hot day) and brought us back in time for a 5pm show of the Glockenspiel and a 505 train.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! It’s great that Markus' was able to tailor the walk to your pace and guide you through a thoughtful route around Marienplatz, including the churches, hidden back alleys, the main shopping street, and the lively riverfront. We’re especially pleased that the timing worked perfectly for you to enjoy the Glockenspiel at 5:00 PM and catch your 5:05 train comfortably—that’s exactly the kind of seamless experience we aim to deliver. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you on another experience in the future!
Sallee_L, Jun 2026
A wonderful walking tour with Naveen, highlighting Munich and the city. We covered a lot of interesting areas in over 3 hours, embracing the history of the city.

Great 3 hour tour. Brigid, my guide, met me at my hotel and we spent the next 3 hours hitting many sites around the downtown. We covered a lot of ground walking, over 13,000 steps. Lot of history.
