The 3 History Tours in Munich That Earn Their Price

1.Guided Tour of the historic Town Hall on Marienplatz

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 63 reviews · 2 hours · from $29Our pick

Spend up to two hours inside Munich’s New Town Hall with a certified English-speaking guide. See the balcony used for FC Bayern celebrations, grand civic rooms, facade figures, and the atmospheric Law Library, featured in *Cabaret*. A good choice for a lighter sightseeing day.

“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.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 28 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes to 11 hours (approx.) · from $921Top rated

Travel from Munich to Salzburg with a private guide such as Karl, Stefan, Maria, Boris, or Armin. Choose a 9.5 or 11-hour route through film locations, Salzburg’s old town, Hellbrunn, Mirabell, and the Salzkammergut in a Mercedes or VW minivan.

“Salzburg is an absolutely beautiful city filled with charm and history. The old city is amazing, lovely shops, Mozarts birthplace, places where the Sound of Music was filmed and great food. Armin was an exceptional tour guide. We talked about my interest in the movie The Sound of Music and he took us to all the places where the movie was filmed. A thoroughly memorable tour experience with an outstanding guide.”
