800 Years of History: A Munich GPS Audio Tour
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Discover Munich with me, a real "Münchner Kindl”. On this self guided audio tour through the city centre, we’ll see highlights from over eight centuries of history. I’ll share some insights and introduce you to important characters from Munich’s past. I’ll also point out a few spots where you can enjoy local beer and other Bavarian delicacies.
We’ll begin our walk in the iconic Marienplatz. From there, we’ll explore the streets. There’s delicious food at the Viktualienmarkt along the way, as well as the grandeur of St Peter’s Church and other impressive sights. I look forward to helping you see Munich because as German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe put it, “you only see what you know!”
A few of the highlights from the tour:
• Why is there a pretzel in a church fresco?
• Discovering which streets were once moats
• Why is there a monkey tower in Munich?
• The story behind the devil's footprint in the Cathedral
• Where does the name Munich come from?

Audio Guided Tour w/ Freedom to Freelance

5.00Perfect audio guided tour through old town Munich if you’re not wanting to be time constrained with an in-person guide. Saw many of the major historical sights and received information about all of them. Loved that she gives the option to pause the tour while we enjoyed a beer in the Biergarten and HB. The navigation instructions were easy to follow and a live map is provided in case you go off track. Highly recommend this tour for those who want some freedom to stop and enjoy the experiences along the way.

3.00Construction made the route difficult to follow as did the speaker's accent. There were scant details that made for a boring tour.
Self paced and very easy...

5.00A great way to learn about the city with the flexibility of getting to stop along the way to eat and shop.
Value for money

5.00Very good value. The narrator was clear and engaging. An easy way to learn a bit about the city if your time is limited or if you want to learn what you want to see in greater depth.
Wonderful tour

5.00Very easy to follow and great information. We did this our first evening and it was a great way to get to know the area.
Great way to explore at your own pace

5.00It was really nice to be able to take learn about the city but pause along the way to shop and explore. We learned a lot, and enjoyed her style of narration. If you see reviews saying some of the directions were confusing, disregard, she’s updated that and the tour is really easy to follow! To make it 6 stars we had a couple questions about some of the things we saw along the way, and more guidance to find the pretzel in the church fresco would have been nice.
Just average

3.00I've done many of these self-guided tours. This was average. Either the info was average or Zurich isn't near as interesting as I thought it was. Some of the info also went on for too long. The other downside is that these tours are usually delivered through an app and uses GPS to guide you. This one was hosted on a website and you had to advance it each time...111 times to be exact. I did the entire tour because it's what I'd planned to do with my afternoon, but I would not recommend it.
The history of old Munich.

5.00The map being live with my location was excellency for keeping me on track. The ability to pause and say have a beer in markets was great. Good info that really gave insight into Munich city of old. Well worth the ticket and the walk.
Great app discovery
