Our tour guide Ossie or Aussi (?) was superb. His tour is for the thinking and introspective individual. He provides an education rather than a simple walk through buildings and alleys. Bavaria is his home, and he is extremely well versed it its history. He takes his time to explain details and welcome information about local and national laws that are not obvious nor intuitive for tourists from the US
Ossie was an amazing, informative and extremely personable guide. His knowledge was top notch and he was patient and encouraged learning about the city in a fun way. Would highly recommend this tour!
Ozzy is amazing guy. Most knowledgeable guide I have ever had. Taught a huge amount about Bavaria as well as Europe in general. Light on the Nazi stories but huge on city immersion. He explained so many things that the group did not know. Just a great tour.
Excellent tour! Ozzie was fantastic! This is the perfect tour to take when you first arrive in Munich. Ozzie was great. I was exhausted from learning so much.
Really informative guide with great personality. Filled in a lot of knowledge gaps about the tour area and Munich as a whole.
This was an amazing tour, Aussy? Not sure if spelt right, was a brilliant guide, so knowledgable, loves his job, which makes even better. Great personality. Learnt so much. Would recomend this tour to everyone.
He was very enthusiastic and had a ton of information. That comes with time. The tour is supposed to be a morning walk but ended at 1:45. If you don’t have immediate plans after then no problem. We did and missed another part of our trip
Book a tour with Aussie!! He was fabulous
He gave us so much local information from past and present. Even advised us to check the price of beer as that would tell you if the restaurant was expensive or ok!
Our tour with Ozzy was amazing! We were in town for Oktoberfest and I am glad that we were able to see the city while we were there. Ozzy met our group at Hotel Excelsior and took us over to the Old Town area. The level of detail, knowledge, and breakdown of both the past & present history of Munich what exactly what we needed. Kid you not he’s basically a Munich celebrity - everywhere we went the locals knew him and it was a joy to see the light & impact he brings to his community. Thank you again, Ozzy!
Great tour and great guide!! Memorable experience! I would recommend to anyone visiting Munich for the first time!
We had such a great experience with Ozzy! He is a wealth of knowledge about the history of Bavaria. We truly learned way more than we thought that we ever would on this walking tour. We highly recommend booking this experience on the first day or two of your trip to Munich, like we did. Ozzy will help you have a depreciation for his homeland’s rich history.
We met just after 9 and saw so much of Munich before breaking a little after 1. We covered a lot of ground, got an excellent orientation to the city, and were well equipped to get around on our own after the tour. Highly recommend!
Ozzy was a terrific tour guide who not only gave historical information but current information to help make your time in Munich better. Definitely recommend!
Waste of money and time. First hour we moved several meters (not far away from meeting point) with info of operator roots. Tour guide was rude from the beginning when he found that my origin is from Ukraine. Start complaining when my wife step out couple steps from the group. Then he didn’t like how I am standing, after that I moved to the back. Then he made provocative statements that Ukraine cause everything that is bad (natural gas, gasoline prices, Ukrainians, etc.) He made us to leave the tour.
The tour guide was fun and very knowledgeable. But we did a LOT of just standing around while he talked and he also went off on a few political tangents. I was hoping for more walking (since it's a walking tour) plus more education on the buildings and history and less of the tour guide's personal opinions. He was also quite repetitive. I was on a walking tour of Munich 10 years ago and the guide was incredible so maybe that's why I was a little disappointed.
Guide was very informative and also entertaining. He made the walking tour fun, and would definitely recommend this tour
This was hands down the most informative, local-led tour we have had yet! Want to hear about the history of the area? This is the tour for you. What to hear about the spots where the locals go? This is the tour for you. There is so much to learn all on a couple square blocks and this is the best tour for sure.
I agree with other do this tour on the first day to get a lot of great tips about staying in Munich.
Ozzie was great very passionate about Bavaria and Munich
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and charming. He explained a hot of not just Munich history but also German history in general. Very thoughtfully put together tour.
Better than I imagined. I imagined a basic informative tour. I instead got the experience of a lifetime. Our tour guide was insightful, inspiring, hilarious and intelligent. He was thoughtful and entertaining. You can tell he took it seriously and had all the passion for it. I fell in love with the city before even experiencing it myself just from this tour alone. Afterwords I appreciated my vacation much more than I could have without it. And he definitely it feel easier to get around and know what to do on our own when the tour was overr. Honestly, we were sad when it was over.
Ozzy was our tour guide, and I can't praise him enough. We spent 4 hours and learned so much about Munich and the Bavarian people. He was extremely funny and informative. We had such a wonderful time. I recommend him to everyone who travels to Munich. He gave a thorough tour of history, politics, architecture, culture, geography, and beer! We learned so much and enjoyed every minute. Ozzy is the best. I would do it all over again. Thanks, Ozzy for making it amazing!
Ozzie give an in depth overview of Bavaria and its history. He is very engaging and thorough with his tour. We would highly recommend.
Great walking tour Ozzy very knowledgeable around Munich , tour was around 4 hours but a lot of stopping .
Our tour guide Ossie was great! He is so knowledgeable and pleasant. He knows his history of Munich and surrounding areas. As we walked around the market, many of the patrons and shop owners would say hi and gave him a hug.
I love his lederhosen that he wears cinductingbtoyrs and even on his one dsy off. We definitely went overtime but we were able to see most of the city. Thank you!

Insight into politics, history and real life

Great tour guide and very animated. Always a treat to learn about a site from a locals point of view. Only problem was as we approached the Glockenspiel plaza, the bells were playing and the figurines were spinning around. I stopped to record the event, as it ended I lost my group in the very large crowd and never found them.
This was the best tour ever!!! Ozzie was an INCREDIBLE guide who made our day so wonderful. He was so knowledgeable and fun to be around. I would recommend this tour to absolutely anyone and everyone.
We loved learning about Munich; the history, the day to day life, surprising facts and overview of everything in Old Town. Ozzy was easy to hear and understand, and made the entire experience wonderful. He clearly knows and understands Munich inside and out, one of the best tours we’ve ever taken.
We were given an overview if the old section of Munich by our knowledgeable tour guide, a tall man who was half Bavarian and half Bahamian, as he explained. He has a love for his city and country as well as a love for his work. We saw the old buildings and got a history lesson about each one, including names, dates, and interesting back stories. He made sure we all stayed in a group, as some of us were older and slower. Several people who'd been on his tours before came by to say hello and to hug him. He seemed to be well known and highly thought of everywhere we went. I could not have asked for a better experience in touring Munich.
Not your usual dull history lesson. Fun and informative at the same time. Highly recommend. A must do tour.
