Exclusive English tour of Munich New Town Hall: neo-Gothic rooms, FC Bayern balcony views, Law Library film scenes, and city stories.

“Yllättävän hyvä kierros 25€ hintaan. Oppaamme oli ihastuttava norjalainen lady, joka muutamissa kohdissa, kertoessaan historiasta herkistyi itsekin. Ehdottomasti kannatti ottaa vähemmän kävelyn päiväksi tämä, jaksoi sitten taas seuraavana päivänä kävellä muita kohteita ja retkiä. Kaupungintalo oli kaunis ja yllättävä neogoottilainen helmi.”

Each brewery offered fun atmospheres which complimented their tastings. Our local guide Alberto was extremely knowledgeable, courteous and focused on ensuring everyone had a great time. You could tell he was just as excited to take us on our tour as we were to be there. An amazing experience and the perfect way for us to kick off our Oktoberfest experience.”

His impressive photo collection offers a unique insight into the inner workings of the Third Riech, it includes many unpublished photographs from the construction of the Tea House as well as some of the renovations made to Hitler’s Berghof. We were also given the opportunity to see some of the behind the scenes sights such as the generation station hidden in the tunnel system beneath the Tea House and the Brass Elevator made for Hitler.

“Mein Bruder und ich fanden die Stadtführung von Alex total empfehlenswert. Auch für Münchner gibt’s hier definitiv etwas zu entdecken. Man merkt mit wie viel Begeisterung Alex sein Projekt „Den Menschen München von allen Seiten zu zeigen“ angeht und wird dafür von den Teilnehmern mit ihrer vollen Aufmerksamkeit belohnt. Alex ist sehr einfühlsam, geht auf die Bedürfnisse seiner Besucher ein und lässt keine Möglichkeit ungenutzt ihnen auch mal Zutritt zu Bereichen zu verschaffen, die sonst für die Öffentlichkeit verwehrt bleiben. Weiter so! Ich freue mich schon als Local eine der anderen Touren von ihm zu entdecken.”

Private 3-hour walk through Munich’s historic core, with WWII stories and an optional Residenz Museum stop, plus beer-garden sights.

“While our guide was very accommodating in meeting us earlier than assigned time at our request, she was hard to understand, spoke very quietly and she was not very engaging. This was a private tour for a group of up to 15 people and with only 2 of us we were straining to hear her. The tour itself was OK, just a nice walk around the heart of Munich, nothing more.”
