We were deeply disappointed in this experience. We weren't made aware that it is a public holiday in Germany and that most things will be closed. Marjut didn't pivot the situation, instead gave us a history walking tour, which is not at all what we have booked. Very, very annoyed and not worth the money at all.Complete waste

Marjut was very knowledgeable about the history of Munich and took us to many sights of interest around the city. She was friendly and very enthusiastic. Our only criticism is that we didn't try a lot of food, considering it was a food tour. We would have appreciated more variety in the food we sampled and being introduced to some of the lesser known delicacies. A good introduction to Munich

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

We had an outstanding introduction to Munich thanks to Marjut. She took us through the heart of the city. She shared local folklore along with history while sharing her recommendations on more things to do, places to see, and food to enjoy. She even gave us a sampling of German beers in the beer garden at Viktualienmarkt. We very much enjoyed our time with Marjut!Outstanding introduction to Munich

We had the best 10 Tastings of Munich with Marjut. We tried out so many new meats and foods. We also saw the most incredible local sites and found out so much about Munich. Make sure to schedule your tour early enough so that shops in the market don’t start closing on you. That was not Marjut’s fault. In fact she got us to a lot more places than I thought she would given the hour.

Marjut hat uns an einem heißen Sommertag frisch und fröhlich empfangen und hat uns sehr versiert durch die Innenstadt Münchens geführt. Wir konnten aus drei Optionen wählen, wie wir München von oben aus sehen wollen, denn es gibt sowohl die Möglichkeit Treppen zu erklimmen (Alter Peter), als auch bequem mit dem Fahrstuhl zu fahren (Frauenkirche). Sie ging nicht nur hier auf unsere Wünsche ein, so dass wir sehr individuell geführt wurden. Auch vermittelte sie nicht den Eindruck, unter Zeitdruck zu stehen, sondern führte uns als wären wir schon länger befreundet. Wir hatten jede Menge Spaß und fühlten uns bestens aufgehoben.Frisch-fröhliche Tour durch München

Marjut met us on time at the Munich Train Station. She helped us with luggage lockers and tram tickets. She guided us on a wonderful walking tour of the downtown Munich area sharing information and history. The architecture of the buildings was inspiring. She purchased us authentic Bavaria snacks which was fun and tasty. She even guided us all the way to our hotel after the tour in East Munich which we appreciated greatly. Marjut went above and beyond expectations. I highly recommend Marjut as a tour guide for Munich and the surrounding area. Excellent Tour

Iryna was the perfect guide for my food tour of central Munich. We spent time in the Marienplatz area as well as at the Viktualienmarkt. Had some great goulash with knodel, sausage, bread, cheese and dessert. She gave a local's perspective, which I really appreciated. No rehearsed script. It was just the personalized excursion I expected. Bravo Iryna! Ultimate Bavarian food and beer experience
