Anna rolled out the red carpet treatment - Our guide, Anna, provided so much of the back story behind the many things to see in the old town of Munich. Even the places we had seen in earlier explorations gave us a much higher level of appreciation. Anna was engaging and considerate of all our requests. She took us to places well known to locals but would be missed by visitors. Things worth buying and things way overpriced. Our 4 hour tour was over before we knew it and we certainly got our money’s worth. Thank you Anna.

Perfect tour of old town Munich - Michelle was very personable and knowledgable. We loved learning the history of old town Munich while seeing the architectural highlights. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone interested in getting the background story behind the beautiful city.

City surfing and garden walk - Of course all the historical sites, but watching the surfers then walking in the park was an unexpected delight.

Highly recommended - What a great time we had with Camilla, our guide for the afternoon. Camilla was not only very friendly and a great conversationalist, but also very knowledgeable about the city. She brought the city to life with interesting facts about various points of interest that only a local would know. The tour was thorough and well paced. Highly recommended.

Fantastic - It was a really good experience, Camilla was great, she shared some facts we did not know which I enjoyed knowing about. We walked a lot! Four hrs was a good amount of time to know and see more of the city.

Very confusing and frustrating - In the description it says that "After booking, you can adjust the meeting point to fit your preferences", however when we booked the tour, the guide refused to customize our meeting point and didn't even explain why. At the same time we received an email from the company stating that the guide will meet us at the hotel. And then another email from the company confirming meeting at our hotel. That was all very confusing. We were not sure if the guide will come to our hotel after all or not, will the tour happen tomorrow or not. Should we plan something else or wait for third confirmation? When we asked the guide (direct quote) "why do you say one thing and your company says another thing?", the guide canceled the tour and wrote us that we are being aggressive and rude, and we should be more polite. Not sure what was rude and aggressive about this message, but whatever. The whole experience dealing with this company was a waste of time. If you want a smooth vacation with a friendly service from the guide, look elsewhere.

No SHOW Tour Guide- NO COMMUNICATION - We were confirmed for a private Munich History tour at 2pm. We showed up at the meeting place and NO Tour guide. Called Viator and she said guide cancelled. Seriously they had my phone number as well as my email absolutely no communication! This was our only day in Munich if we were notified earlier in the day we could have made other sight seeing plans.
