The survey to tailor make your tour was awesome! And our guide, Naveen was super helpful with things before we even got there, like getting the correct train from the airport to the city center, stowing our luggage for the tour, etc. He was awesome!

Markus was a fabulous host and guide. For three hours he walked us ( at our pace) around Munich in a sensible circle. We met in Maidenplatz, visited about 4 churches, some beautiful back alleys, the main shopping street, the river front ( with plenty of locals enjoying it on the hot day) and brought us back in time for a 5pm show of the Glockenspiel and a 505 train.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! It’s great that Markus' was able to tailor the walk to your pace and guide you through a thoughtful route around Marienplatz, including the churches, hidden back alleys, the main shopping street, and the lively riverfront. We’re especially pleased that the timing worked perfectly for you to enjoy the Glockenspiel at 5:00 PM and catch your 5:05 train comfortably—that’s exactly the kind of seamless experience we aim to deliver. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you on another experience in the future!
