Munich · CITY TOURS
A first pass at a city small enough to learn in an afternoon. These 15 range from a walking loop of the Altstadt to a bus ticket that reaches the Olympic Park, priced and clear on what you enter.
Join a 1.5-hour German-language walk from Marienplatz through Munich’s old town. See the Frauenkirche, Theatine Church, Hofbräuhaus, Fünf Höfe, Dallmayr, Odeonsplatz, and Viktualienmarkt. Guides such as Emanuela and Alexandra add humor, anecdotes, and a personal feel.
Meet at Karlsplatz 21 for a five-hour Munich sightseeing ride led in English or German, followed by the Allianz Arena Tour. You get about an hour for the FC Bayern Museum and shop, then see the pitch, benches, locker room, and stadium interiors with a live guide.
“Informative bus tour before and after the arena tour which was good. The tour guides on the stadium tour were knowledgeable and showed all parts of the stadium with the opportunities to take photos. Before the tour started we had around 1 hour to explore the museum and to use the on site food court. The only part that could possibly be improved is providing guests with selective language audio rather than all languages covered on the bus tour for a more leisurely journey.”
See Munich from an open-top double-decker bus with a 24-hour Express pass or 24- or 48-hour Grand Tour. The route covers Marienplatz, the English Garden, Kunstareal, Nymphenburg, Olympic Park, and BMW World, with multilingual audio and flexible stops.
“The buses did not run on time. In most cases, it would have at least half-an hour to an hour late (in place of every 15 minutes). I wanted to visit a couple of more places but lost time by the bus delay, at my last stop i waited 50 minutes (just standing on my feet), got tired, and finally gave up on it (I mainly used the orange colour one). Finally, I gave up my test of the visit plans and took a taxi to my hotel.”
Ride through Munich’s Old Town, Residenz courtyards, Odeonsplatz, and the English Garden with an English-speaking guide. You’ll see the Eisbach surfers, stop for 45 minutes at the Chinese Tower beer garden, and cover more ground than on foot. Bikes are included; lunch and tips are extra.
“Really liked Kyle and his easy going fun way of sharing Munich with us.”
Explore central Munich on foot with an English-speaking guide such as Ozzie or Patrick. See the Frauenkirche, Marienplatz, Hofbräuhaus, churches, city gates, and Viktualienmarkt, with a Bavarian snack, beer, and practical advice on getting around.
“What a fabulous walking tour so interesting and our guide was terrific!!!! Learned so much would take the same tour a second time.”
Ride a flat, easy route through central Munich with guides such as Rob, Karl, Susanna, and Canaan. See Königsplatz, Odeonsplatz, Marienplatz, the English Garden, and Eisbach surfers, then stop at the Chinese Tower beer garden. Food and drinks cost extra.
“Excellent tour. Canaan, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area and history. He answered all our questions and made the tour fun. Since it was cooler, he gave us another option to eat instead of the beer garden. This cafe was great and had much history. Bikes were well maintained. We felt safe in the bike lanes. Highly recommend this tour!”
Spend 90 minutes walking Munich with guides such as Jay, Elizabeth, Tom, Sophie, or Markus, then head to Theresienwiese for four hours at a reserved Oktoberfest table. Your package includes two liters of beer and half a chicken, making this a practical first visit to the festival.
“City tour was a total bust. The owner’s wife filled in for an employee who called in sick. She was SICK! She was coughing and hacking. When she talked it was just to get out the info and she didn’t pay attention to the loud train going by or other outside noises. The beer tent was a blast but skip the city tour. It was useless and hopefully nobody got sick from being near her.”
Learn to ride a Segway, then follow a guide through Munich’s English Garden, along the Isar, and past the Maximilianeum, Feldherrnhalle, Hofgarten, Eisbach, and Siegestor. German and English tours run from Schwabing. Guides such as Christian, Paula, Christine, and Rouen have led past groups.
“The tour was nice, a lot of information privided by our guide Paula”

Join Paul’s private Munich old-town tour for about two hours with a guide such as John, Martin, Genny, Sybille, or Freya. Walk from Karlstor through Marienplatz, Viktualienmarkt, the Residenz, Odeonsplatz, and Viscardigasse while shaping the route around your interests.
“Our private walking tour in the old city with Sybille was most informative and gave us many ideas for filling our days in Munich. The weather was blue skies and sunny, making photos wonderful. The pedestrian streets were crowded with the lovely weather. Sybille showed us some of her favorite places and best eats in the city.”
Arrange a private ride from Munich Airport to your Munich hotel in a Mercedes Benz V Class or similar van. Your English-speaking chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign, tracks flight delays, helps with luggage, and provides bottled water. Up to six people can share one booking.
