Travelers appreciate knowledgeable guides who vividly present Munich’s history with engaging storytelling, humor, and personalized attention. Food stops featuring local sausages and beer add authentic flavor. The tour pacing is generally comfortable, though some find it longer than expected with extended narratives. Organization and timing are well managed, but a few travelers note communication gaps and desire deeper historical context, resulting in a mostly positive yet nuanced impression.

Ozzie was fantastic. He was fun and gave us so much wisdom regarding Munich, the history and how the city works.
Wow. Wow. Wow. That was the best “city walking tour” I’ve ever done. Ozzy is so knowledgeable, fun, kind, and a genuine BAVARIAN! I did the tour with my mom while on a girls trip and we were blown away! I am planning to come back with my husband and will 100% book this again because I learned so much and my husband HAS to hear everything Ozzy told us! It was just the best! If you’re in Munich- this is a MUST! Do it on your first day because it will change your whole trip! So much good insider knowledge for your vacation and interesting history and facts about Munich! Ps- the pit stop to grab a beer and sausage was a huge PLUS!
Bundle up if it’s winter, you’re outside for 4 hours. Bring a backpack with gloves, hat, scarf. This is not a tour for taking a bunch of selfies etc. it is very informative, there is a lot of amazing information to digest.
Highly recommend! Great value, very informative. Walked away with a lot more information about the area - Bavaria, Germany from history to present than expected.
Great tour of Munich. Our guide give us lots of history, suggestions for things to do and places to eat. He personalized to our interests. I would recommend thus one!
This walking tour was fabulous. Our guide Patrick Kemp (Ozzie) was amazing. He was full of enthusiasm, knowledge and kept it light and fun.
Quite possibly the most educational, entertaining and genuinely useful walking tour we've ever taken, and we travel for half the year! Oz is a fantastic local Bavarian guide who goes far beyond the usual history, landmarks and tourist facts. We learned so much about how Munich actually works, from local customs and Sunday closures to where to shop, eat and explore. So many little insights we didn't even know we needed, but ended up putting to good use over the following days!
Our biggest tip: Book this tour on your first full day in Munich. You'll appreciate everything else you see and do so much more, armed with Oz's insider knowledge. He's engaging, funny, incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his city. I only wish every walking tour could be this good. Absolutely phenomenal!
I got lost trying to find start place at a hotel, with google maps! Start in easy to find place, please! Ozzie may be amazing to some, I thought he talked too fast and too much, not giving time to digest the huge amount of information, little time for questions. I would not do a tour with him again. As I said you might love him, many people wrre laughing at his jokes. I looked forward to the tour end. I was glad to see the sights, enjoyed the beer and sausage stop and 11 am rathaus show at least
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.
