★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 839 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $282

Explore Munich’s Old Town, Viktualienmarkt, Hofbräuhaus, and grand squares on a flexible 1.5-hour guided walking tour.

“It wasn't quite clear where to meet the guide since there is quite a lot of space around the statue. There was also a mention in the instructions to get there 15 mins earlier but since nobody else was there, we started to worry if we just hadn't found the group and they already left. After finding the guide though (who was right on time) the following tour was pretty great! We got a lot of nice information on the city and the additional pictures really helped understanding everything. Thanks a lot!”
