Intro To Munich
In our Intro to Munich we take 1.5 hours to introduce you to Munich as a local. We will meet you at your hotel, coffee shop or local pub and discuss your trip as well as let you pick our brains for information and tips. Next we will walk through and explain the layout of the Altstadt (old city) and its amazing pubs and beer halls. Along the way we will make recommendations for absolute must-try restaurants and breweries. Also a detailed explanation and walkthrough of the transportation system with its amazingly efficient organizational structure and mapping of the stations with the streets around it. Ticket purchasing and the secrets to low cost travel with carefree options. Details about the neighborhood you are staying in with cafes, stores and shops (wine, cheese, meat , bread etc). Sim cards, phone repair, chargers, clothing repair and cleaning, and anything you might need on your trip.
So let us help you make this trip to Munich unforgettable and stress-free!
The Munich Experience
The Munich Experience is one of the best ways to see the highlights of the city mixing beer, 3rd Reich/WWII and medieval history since most of the sites we will visit have multiple layers of history. As we will be together through meal time, one of our stops will be at a biergarten or a beer hall for snacks and a bier that we include in the price.
The Ultimate Munich Experience
On this Ultimate Experience we show you the best Munich has to offer on a relaxed Full-Day tour! This is an additional 4 hours from our basic Munich Experience Tour and includes a lot more historical info and stops, food, beer, a full brewery tour and so much more. We would love to include breakfast, lunch and possibly dinner at our favorite locals places as well as biergarten stops (weather permitting).
Come join us for this amazing day in Munich!!
Current Beer Festivals In Bavaria
Oktoberfest might be the largest beer festival in the world but in so many of the cities surrounding Munich in Bavaria, there are so many small Beer Festivals and Volksfests. With 2-3 beer tents (or more), live bands, Liter mugs of the local fest bier, and lots of lederhosen und dirndls, you're bound to have a great time!
Come with us and explore one of these super fun and cosy beer festivals without all of the masses and the prices of the lodging of Oktoberfest. We are offering many excursions in 2019 and 2020 in connection with these events. There are so many fun events and festivals in the area each year and we will be updating this page.
For now, here is a short list!
Oktoberfest is very fun but also the busiest time of the year and a huge event. You surely have seen nothing like it. We help take all the guess work out of the Festival by booking tables almost every day and conducting small, intimate group tours with no more than 10 people.
We can't wait to have a drink with you!
