Munich - the essential walking tour
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
During this walking tour in the old city, the political and social developments of Munich (dating from the 12th century to today) come alive. You will see fabulous examples of late Baroque architecture in southern Germany (18th-19th century). Juxtaposed with these are the squares on which Hitler's National Socialist Party began and later on demonstrated their dictatorial power in their so-called “City of the Movement”. But we will also not disregard cultural and economic life in Munich, like its breweries, the beer garden and some of its world famous companies.

5.00With Michael Schwennen, we made an entertaining and informative walk through Munich city centre in just over 150 minutes. The communication in advance was personal by mail, the meeting place easy to find and in terms of content we learned churches, squares, interesting stories and history. That was time well spent. Thank you so much!
Great guide, He knows the places and their history well, and gives good advice on how to get the most out of the city.

5.00Michael was a great tour guide, friendly and engaging. The tour itself was well paced, gave the group time to ask questions and go around the places he took us to and take pictures. He was very knowledgeable and the tour took in a number of places that gave us a really informative background to how Munich developed as an area and major parts of it’s history. I was surprised how much he delivered to us in the time that we spent going around the sights, he included a number of printed pages to support the tour and it complimented everything really well. Overall a great experience and recommended to anyone that wants to understand Munich and it’s history.
Great learning experience

5.00This was an outstanding tour. Our tour guide, Michael, was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He picked us up from the hotel and provided direction for breakfast due to New Years Day shop closures. Highly recommend
Great leadership!

5.00Michael has found a good balance between historical facts and entertaining city tours. The tour was interesting, but also not "too much" in the overall program, what we had for the weekend. Super satisfied!
Competent and wonderful
