Elettra was an incredible guide! Not only she made us feel super comfortable from the very beginning bringing us a nice treat 🍬, but she made the touristic tour very engaging mixing some fun facts with historical facts. She offers tour in English and Italian and I think another extra-value of doing the tour with her, is that she can share the point of view of an expat (or better used-to-be expat) who is now a German citizen. We definitely want to do other tours with her!We had fun and learned a lot!

Elettra is a fantastic guide: she took us around the centre of the old town in Munich. She is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I should add that I have mobility issues and need a scooter to get around. Elettra structured the tour perfectly , avoiding any barriers and steps and always aware of the surroundings . Thanks again Elettra 😁Great tour with Elettra

(About local Marjut)

22 December 2024

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.

Our time with Marjut was wonderful. We booked with her for the day we arrived in Munich at 2:30PM, as we knew we would be tired from travel and would like to get adjusted to and oriented around the city and have dinner already figured out. Her deep knowledge of Munich's history made the tour both informative and engaging, as she guided us to major sites, sharing fascinating stories along the way. The quantity of food was great too. We had at least four stops around the Viktualienmarkt for Leberkas, the best bratwurst we've ever had, sauerkraut and sausages in the biergarten, a pretzel, and pickles. We had a stop for haxen, which was delicious. We even had an apple strudel for dessert. By the end, we were full and grateful for her tips on where to explore further. Marjut was outstanding!Munich with Marjut

Wir hatten Marion für eine Tour mit drei Erwachsenen und drei Kindern gebucht. Sie hat sich hervorragend auf die Kinder eingestellt und die Stadtführung auch für sie zu einem wirklich tollen, interaktiven Erlebnis gemacht. Es hat riesigen Spaß gemacht. Ihr Wissen über München und die Geschichte war ausgezeichnet und spannend. Sie hat auch die Bedürfnisse der Kinder berücksichtigt. Wenn sie müde waren oder ähnliches, fand sie immer ein schattiges Plätzchen oder eine Toilette. Ein großes Lob an sie. Dankeschön von der drutsch, kanadisch, chinesischen Gruppe. Not to forget, her englisch is perfect 👌 Ein großartiger Tag mit Marion.
