Detailed history of...

Dean_G, Mar 2026
Detailed history of Munich. Fairly long walk. Guide was excellent. Entered many beautiful and interesting churches. Started at 12:30 right after Glockenspiel performance just across the Marienplatz.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi Dean_G, Thanks for your thoughtful review. A walk through Munich’s Old Town after the Glockenspiel is always a great way to begin, and we’re happy you enjoyed the journey and the stories along the way. We’re especially glad your guide, David, made the experience memorable. Looking forward to welcoming you again. Regards, Rosotravel Team

A nice family friendly experience Guide was knowledgeable and engaging Also nice . Met us at our hotel and it was a small group so we got more detailed information and were more mobile than larger groups

Great City Tour

Rob_M, Sep 2024
Fantastic experience to orient ourselves to Munich. Our guide was so knowledgeable and an incredibly warm person — highly recommend

Cancelled by operator 4 min before start

Jillian_B, Jul 2024
They didn’t let me know that my trip was cancelled until 4 min before it began - I received an email at 9:56am telling me that my 10am tour wasn’t happening. We were already in the lobby waiting….

Wonderful half day trip

Raymond_D, Jun 2024
Wonderful half day walking trip of Munich. We saw many church’s, the town square, and historical locations from WW II. Very informative and a fantastic city to enjoy.

good guide

david_p, Jan 2024
Ana was a trove of local history. I now know about the local salt trade, where the local breweries get their water, and why hofbräus are called that.

This tour was very...

richard_l, Dec 2023
This tour was very informative!! We learned alot!! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable!! Although she did get off focus a few times which made it hard to follow. She was very personable and friendly. We actually saw her while she was on another tour and she greeted us so welcoming!!

Great Guide - Alex!

Jon_S, Sep 2023
Alex was knowledgable, passionate and extremely personable. He was great at reading the vibe of our group and mixing history with perspective. Top notch experience!

Terrible

Linda_L, Sep 2023
Guide never showed up at pick up point. Waited an hour Very disappointed. Canceled trip with company

Amazing Tour and Guide

Katie_H, Aug 2023
Liana was amazing! We loved the information she gave, how she tailored things to our group, and how she knew the answer (and more!) to every single question we asked. I would recommend this private tour to anyone, thanks to her.

Informative tour!

Polina_T, Jul 2023
This tour was booked for a sports team during their layover in Munich (8 teenagers and 4 adults). The group found the tour very informative and it made their visit to town much more meaningful. Maybe one suggestion is to add more legends/funny stories to make the content lighter especially when dealing with a group of tired teenagers. 😁

Excellent walking tour

Mary_E, Jul 2023
Alex was a fabulous guide and answered all of our questions. It was a great way to get introduced to the city, and I highly recommend it to people on their first visit to Munich. An absolutely beautiful city and such a lovely, engaging guide.

Fun and Informative

Rebecca_C, Nov 2022
My tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the city, and he made sure I had a good time.

Viator always helps make our travels memorable!

Sandra_S, Nov 2022
We loved our time in Munich, although it was limited since we were just passing through. We booked a walking tour of Old Towne Munich and it was wonderful! Viator comes through for us every time! Our group was so pleased with our excellent guide and our absolutely wonderful bus driver, Joseph. Viator always exceeds our expectations, and always provides us with fantastic experiences that highlight our travels. Thank you, Viator for helping make our travels memorable!

Be better with a more personable guide

Joanne_M, Oct 2022
The tour covered what we wanted, however we are not completely satisfied with the tour guide. They said they were going to email to get information about what we wanted to see, a day before, and never did. I also got disrespectful replies when I told them I needed the rest room and when I asked a question. The guide was caught up in their own thoughts and frequently ignored our questions altogether.

Munich old town tour

bradley_L, May 2022
Liana was an excellent guide who showed us many old town Munich sites and churches. She tailored the tour to our interests and was very knowledgeable and interesting. She shared a lot of facts about the city and sites. She was very personable and friendly. Great tour.
