First time in Munich and wanted to get a sense of the city and a local’s opinion on where to go and where not. Our guide, Anna, was charming, knowledgeable and very funny. In just a few hours we visited several beautiful Churches, landmarks and markets. Truly wonderful and memorable!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We’re delighted to hear that your first time in Munich was such a memorable experience and that Anna made it both enjoyable and insightful with her charm, knowledge, and humor.
It’s wonderful to know you were able to explore such a great mix of churches, landmarks, and markets in just a few hours. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Anna.

Philip was wonderful. We learned so many things we otherwise never would’ve known. Our 18yo daughter has been studying German and he graciously conversed with her in German and us in English. Highly recommend!

We’re so glad you discovered so many new things and had such a meaningful experience together! It’s wonderful to hear the mix of languages made it even more special — your recommendation truly means a lot to us.

Our tour guide was great. Probably book a 3 hour tour than just two. It was very nice though. Out guide helped us with public transit system and we were able to get a good baseline on other areas we would like to visit.

We’re so glad you had a nice introduction and found the experience helpful for getting around and planning the rest of your visit! That’s a great tip on timing too — thanks so much for sharing it.

We had a wonderful experience with Naveen as our guide in Munich. He was incredibly knowledgeable, respectful, and genuinely lovely to spend time with. His friendly and accommodating nature made everything feel easy and relaxed.
What really stood out was how thoughtful he was. He reached out to us a few days before our trip and shared helpful recommendations in advance. During and after the tour, he continued to suggest great places for dinner and things we shouldi not miss, which made our trip even more enjoyable.
We would highly recommend Naveen to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, considerate, and engaging guide in Munich.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Naveen's thoughtfulness, knowledge, and friendly nature truly set the tone for a relaxed and engaging experience. We’re glad that he made your Munich tour so enjoyable and memorable.

Unfortunately our guide hardly talked at all so we received very little information about the city. He was not a local and was not knowledgeable.
Response from Host, Feb 2026

I had a great time touring with Vanessa. She’s very knowledgeable and we walked through old town visiting churches, art buildings, and important places with ease. She also recommended restaurants and gave useful information and tidbit. Returning to these places gave me an advantage that my friends didn’t have.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
I’m thrilled to hear that her knowledge and guidance made exploring Old Town so enjoyable and insightful. It’s wonderful that her recommendations and tips gave you an advantage when revisiting these places — that’s exactly the type of experience we aim to create for our guests.

We did a 4 hour experience. Make sure you can walk and be on your feet for a while. Would do it again especially with the same guide. Very knowledgeable and geared the experience to our interests. Put guide was Mat
Response from Host, Feb 2026

Naveen was a wonderful tour guide! We had an 8-hour layover in Munich, so we booked the 3 hour tour. We landed an hour late and hadn't accounted for the travel to/from Munich city center, but Naveen helped us make the most of our (short) time in Munich! He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and overall an awesome tour guide. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled that Naveen helped you make the most of your time in Munich, especially with a delayed arrival and a tight schedule. It’s great to know his knowledge, friendliness, and flexibility made such a positive impact on your layover experience. Hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!

Joel relayed both architectural and historical detail concerning the buildings and public spaces throughout a walk around Oldtown.
Response from Host, Feb 2026

Kimberly_C, Jan 2026
We booked the two hour walking tour to get an overview of munich on our day of arrival. We were met at our hotel which made it easy and convenient. Anna showed us many sights we might have missed otherwise as well as answered specific questions we had about the city in general. Highly recommend this tour to get you started on on your sightseeing as well as if you only have limited time to spend in the area. Great tour!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled that your walking tour with Anna was convenient, informative, and gave you a great overview of Munich. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope you have many more amazing experiences with City Unscripted in the future!

This was an excellent introduction to Munich. Markus was our guide and he was very knowledgeable about the city, he adapted the route really well as we walked around so he could accommodate our preferences.
We ended the tour armed with plenty of local knowledge to help us make the most out of our stay in Munich.
Thank you Markus, it was a pleasure to meet you

Alex_P, Dec 2025
Phillip planned an amazing experience for my sister and I. It was our first time in Germany, and Munich and we wanted to really see the culture and history outside of the normal tourist areas. Phillip stayed with the history of Bavaria and Munich and then we hopped on the tube just 4 stops outside of the city center and went to a super cool artsy place where local artist have shops built in old shipping containers. Overall the experience was amazing and highly recommend. You can also customize your experience so if your looking for more food related or history related, they will curate a tour specifically to what your looking for!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review! We’re thrilled that Phillip was able to create such a meaningful first experience for you in Germany and Munich. Exploring Bavarian history while stepping outside the usual tourist areas is exactly what we aim for, and we’re glad you enjoyed discovering the artsy local scene as well. We also appreciate you highlighting the customizable nature of our tours, it’s important to us that each experience reflects what our guests are truly interested in. Thank you for the high recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back again!

Pamela_L, Dec 2025
We had a great experience with Naveen on Friday! My 3 friends and I thought we would take an uber or taxi from airport hotel to downtown. Naveen suggested we take the train and we are so glad we did! He gave us explicit instructions and it was great taking public transportation in Munich! Our tour included many stops where Naveen would explain the history and events that took place in those locations. We were interested in buying a German Nutcracker and he took us to a little shop that sold authentic nutcrackers! He also took us to two Christmas markets. We visited the Hofbrau House and enjoyed a German beer and pretzel! It was a fantastic afternoon! Thank you Naveen and aviator!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
We’re thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic afternoon with Naveen and enjoyed exploring Munich via public transport, visiting the Christmas markets, Hofbräuhaus, and even finding an authentic German Nutcracker! It’s great to know that Naveen’s guidance made your experience so memorable.
Carly_M, Dec 2025
Private guide is the way to go in a busy city. Anna packed in a ton and could fit in little stops with our small group. Easier to ask questions in a private group and hear all the history when walking around.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
We’re so glad to hear you had such a great experience with Anna! It’s wonderful that her ability to tailor the pace, add little stops, and share history clearly made exploring the city so much easier and more enjoyable. Thank you for your kind feedback!
Bridgit_H, Dec 2025
Phillip is truly a local expert, passionate about his city and very charming too!. The off the beaten track tour was really eye opening. You would never imagine such parts of Munich. Cool, edgy places, beautiful nature and environmental regeneration and unusual and inspiring architecture.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
We're thrilled to hear that Phillip’s expertise, passion, and charm helped make your tour memorable. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the off-the-beaten-track experience in Munich and discovered unique spots, inspiring architecture, and beautiful natural areas — exactly the kind of experience we aim to provide.
LouAnn_L, Dec 2025
Our tour with Linus was great. We wanted to learn about Bavaria and Munich with some history about Hitler mixed in and that is exactly what we got! Our tour guide took us inside some wonderful places that we never would have visited on our own. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled that you and your family enjoyed the tour with Linus, and that we were able to deliver the mix of Bavarian history and the more difficult historical context you asked for. We’re especially happy you liked visiting the more off-the-beaten-path spots, it’s always our goal to show our guests places they wouldn’t find on their own. Your kind words mean a lot to us and to Linus. We hope we’ll have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future. Thanks again for recommending us!
Alexandra_L, Dec 2025

My experience with City Unscripted was wonderful. After I made my reservation, they sent me a questionnaire with questions to help understand what I am interested in seeing in Munich. City Unscripted assigned me a guide who contacted me via What’s App to introduce himself. In June, 6 months before our tour, the guide, Naveen, asked if we had any special requests. We kept in contact and exchanged a few texts until our scheduled tour in December 2025,
When I had questions about logistics and details about the tour, I messaged City Unscripted . Ryan would answer promptly.
Naveen is a stellar guide. He is flexible and accommodating . He has an excellent sense of people. He read and understood our needs. He knew immediately that one member of our group had a difficult time walking so he checked up on this person frequently.
I give Naveen and Ryan of City Unscripted high marks.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
We’re delighted that your experience with City Unscripted was so positive. It’s great to know that from the outset — questionnaire, communication, coordination — everything worked smoothly, and that your guide Naveen (and our team member Ryan) was attentive, flexible and caring throughout. And we’re especially pleased to learn that Naveen was sensitive to your group’s needs — noting when a member had difficulty walking and checking on them — and that the tour ended up being both informative and enjoyable. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful feedback! Your kind words mean a lot. We take pride in matching our guests with hosts who behave more like local friends than “tour guides,” and feedback like yours shows we’re doing something right. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again on another journey!
Keoki_K, Dec 2025
