Paola has a lot of information to share and knows the little tips about all the fun things to do and see in city center. We appreciated her style.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re delighted that you enjoyed Paola’s insights and recommendations. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again soon!
We really enjoyed walking through Munich's old town and seeing the beautiful squares and St. Peter's church. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a great experience. We stayed to watch the dancing clock and it we truly felt what Germany was all about. Highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
We’re delighted you had such a wonderful time exploring Munich’s Old Town! It’s lovely that the beautiful squares, St. Peter’s Church, and the famous Glockenspiel made your experience so memorable. Thank you for your recommendation!
This was a fabulous way to spend our first afternoon in Munich! Naveen, our tour guide, met us in our hotel lobby and escorted us via U-bahn to Marienplatz. (It was nice to have help navigating bus/subway tickets and directions since this was our first day in town.) Naveen was a wealth of information about the buildings, history, politics, culture and food in the area. We went into several of the churches around Marienplatz and he made sure we had the perfect spot to watch the Glockenspiel show on the tower of the New Town Hall. Naveen took lots of photos of me and my husband for us, which is nice when traveling as a couple. Since it was just the 2 of us on the tour, Naveen tailored the sights and discussion to what we were interested in. He even gave us tips for what to see on the other days of our vacation. He really does know and love Munich! We learned a LOT in a short time. I highly recommend this tour for anyone coming to Munich!
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It’s great to know that Naveen's local knowledge, personal touches, and helpful tips made you feel comfortable navigating the city and discovering its rich history and culture. We’re especially glad you enjoyed the Glockenspiel, the beautiful churches, and having those special travel moments captured together. Thank you for your high recommendation, and we hope you had a fantastic rest of your vacation in Munich!
Naveen was very knowledgeable and told me stories that made my trip so memorable. He was excellent. He changed it up when necessary which customized my experience.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
We’re so glad you had such a memorable experience with Naveen! It’s wonderful that his engaging stories and flexibility made the day feel truly personalized. Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback!
Our tour guide Sabina was a wealth of travel knowledge and took us on an interesting walking tour of Munich. While exploring all of the sights along the way she also answered many of our travel questions regarding places she had visited (we tend to start planning our next vacation while on vacation) and interesting sights to see in Munich (we took her up on her suggestion to visit The English Garden the next day, and she was spot on). We really enjoy taking the private tours because it gives us a personal perspective of the subject matter, and this tour was well worth our time. Thanks Sabina.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
It’s lovely to know that you followed Sabina's suggestion to visit the English Garden and enjoyed it! We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Sabina, who will be thrilled to know how much you appreciated her guidance. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback! We hope to welcome you on another memorable adventure in one of our destinations on your next travels!

Naveen is an excellent tour guide, who is easily understood. He took a lot of time and customized the tour based on our input, our interests, and our pace. He was very knowledgeable regarding German history and took the time to share building photos from the past.
He provided several food recommendations based on our preferences. Based on his recommendation, we had an excellent meal, followed with coffee and dessert at a different cafe.
We would highly recommend Naveen for a tour.

Very knowledgeable about church history. Very friendly. Would have been better to do this tour on a weekday, instead of a Sunday, when everything is closed.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
