We paid € 360 plus € 36 service charge for 4 persons ; we expected to get more then 2 pints and some cheese, sauer meat and sausages. Scandalous! I will see where to put it on internet to warn other people. Marion did her job as guide well.far much to expensive

We enjoyed our tour of Old Town with Marion. She enlightened us with her knowledge of the history and present times. She understood we had to go at a very slow pace due to handicapped status. Her English was excellent and we had no communication issues. We feel very lucky that we found the best guide in Munich. Great day with Marion

Marion provided an incredible and enlightening experience in Munich for our four person group. We learned the history, the back story and the relevance for today’s Munich for so many of the prominent and not so prominent, but special, landmarks. Her knowledge was vast and kept us fully engaged throughout our three hour tour. Informative, fun and energetic

We spent the afternoon with Marion today and had an amazing time. She was prompt meeting us. The weather was horrible but she was a true professional and didn’t let that slow us down. We spent 3 hrs with her on a walking tour and saw so many Munich highlights. She has a great personality and is so knowledgeable about everything Munich. I’ve done my fair share of traveling and I have had other private guides, but Marion really wanted you to understand what she was explaining to us. She had photos to share that I really appreciated as I am a visual learner. I would highly recommend Marion the next time you are in Munich. We really enjoyed our day with her!! Wonderful day in Munich!

Our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 teenagers) had an excellent time with Marion. It is daunting to go into a big city with so much to see and a limited amount of time. Marion was great! She gave us tons of info about the history of the city, was patient, engaging and very organized. I asked my kids and husband and we all feel she deserves a 10/10! We all felt the tour was well worth the time and money and are all very glad we did it. Thanks "Withlocals" and Marion!A perfect way to see Munich!

Despite the thunderstorm we had a very nice kick start tour of Munich with Marion. Churches, new city hall, and ended in the most popular biergarten. She even pointed out the mayor, as he was walking through town.

Marion was delightful! She was engaging and knowledgeable and subtly hilarious. The history of Bavaria and Munich came to life as we wandered through the streets and bräuhausen and churches. She pointed out little details we would have missed and told the stories that you can’t find in history books. Our whole family enjoyed the tour (including our three teenagers). Vielen Dank!!A Magnificent storyteller and fun tour

So eine tolle launige Führung habe ich noch nie erlebt. Die Zeit verging wie im Flug. Der Spaziergang durch die Münchner Innenstadt hat der ganzen Gruppe großen Spaß gemacht. Marion hat uns mit kleinen feinen Anekdoten versorgt und wir haben en passant viel über die geschichtlichen Hintergründe mitgenommen. Einfach eine 10/10

"Paola was wonderful. She was knowledgeable and kind. She was incredibly interactive with my girls (ages 7, 8, 11). I don’t say this lightly. We have done many tours across Europe and Paola was truly the best. To get my 7 year old engaged and at the end saying she loved it - is no small achievement. She is the only tour guide you want in Munich. " Munich Walking Tour: Private Highlights & Hidden Gems by a Local

Our three hour tour with Marion was delightful! We had a wonderful time from the minute we met her at our assigned meeting place until we shared our last sad goodbyes. Marion really knows her city and all of its history. She delivers her tour in an engaging way without bogging you down in all of the minutiae when it’s not necessary. The pace of the tour was just right, with a few stops in the Central Church’s. She shares all of the really unique details of both the major sights and the more obscure ones. This was definitely the best WithLocals tour that we have taken. Thank you so much Marion for sharing your beautiful city with us and the surprise presents! Fantastic Tour With Marion!

This tour was great! Marjut is very kind, she even came to meet us at our hotel because we didn't know our way around and she gave us enough information about places to go and things to see that we could have made an entire second days worth of touring. She is very flexible, she has her options of food places she goes to for you to get a taste of many aspects of Bavaria, but works with you on where to go, when to best fit your needs. For instance, my wife was hungry as we hadn't eaten in quite a few hours. So instead of starting with some of the history, we jumped right into some food! Though she has places in mind of where to go, if you ask her about a stand or what something is, she will take you to try it. Many of the food stands offered free samples too. The most surprising thing to me was how good the Gluhwine (umlaut over the u, I just can't do it on this phone) was. My wife and I do not like wine, so hot wine didn't seem like something we would be into, but something about heating it up got rid of some of the typical bitter flavoring that wine has and made it sweeter. Perfect for a cold evening. Only recommendation is if you book with her, the typical German expectation for gratuity is 10%. Bring a bit more 10-15 $/Euro, because she buys all the food for you while you wait at the tables.
