About this activity
Select the time that best suits you when booking your tour, then meet your guide in front of the Tourist Information kiosk in central Munich's Marienplatz. Admire the life-size figures of the Glockenspiel as they do their thrice-daily dance, before seeing the Frauenkirche Cathedral — the highest building in Munich's city center.
Next, visit the grand City Palace and the Opera House. Admire their soaring ceilings and stunning architecture as you hear about their history from your local guide. Walk through Odeonsplatz, where you'll stop and hear about the history of the Third Reich and how Munich was the birthplace of the Nazi Party. Pop by the Hofbräuhaus, Munich's most famous beer hall, and browse among the hundreds of stalls at the lively outdoor Viktualienmarkt.
Continue to the English Gardens, one of Europe's largest urban green areas, and watch the surfers as they catch waves on the Eisbach River before returning to Marienplatz to conclude the two-hour tour.

Loved the opportunity to get out of the crowds and into the gardens. Great commentary which helped to bring both the history and local life alive. Highly entertained by the surfers on the standing wave
Great tour!
The tour was great. My tour guide (Martina, I believe?) was fantastic-very knowledgeable and friendly. She pointed out great sights and gave history lessons all the while. It made it so easy to reshow these spots to my fiancé later!
Knowledgeable and interesting guide - I really enjoyed the walk in a small group. Highly recommended
Tour was good. Hampered slightly by some very slow walking (not the guides fault). A good intro to the old town but the visit to the English Garden was unnecessary as the limited time there did not do it justice - more time learning about the buildings and history of the old town would be better.
