First of all, Norma is an excellent guide. She was knowledgeable and shared a lot of lesser known details with us . The tour time flew by. We learned so much in this tour. We are all history buffs and this tour had so much to offer. Well worth the cost and to have a private tour. I’d book another tour with Norma if we had time. Book the tour!

Hallo Norma, danke für den sehr kurzweiligen Spaziergang durch sie Stadt. Du hast uns die Geschichte wirklich gut erklärt und uns an Orte gebracht wo wir alleine wahrscheinlich nie hingegangen/gekommen wären. Für uns war es eine sehr gelungene Führung durch dich. An alle anderen die das lesen, absolute Empfehlung.Norma hat das sehr gut gemacht.

We had a fantastic time with Norma. She was extremely educated, in history of the Prince’s ,Duke’s and Kings. This tour is absolutely incredible and learning about the different architectural styles. We absolutely loved all of the inside information that she gave us about Munich. There was so many things that we didn’t know about now I know how the history of the pretzel became so big in Munich. We saw cool markets and secret passage-ways. When we got back to meet the rest of our group, they were jealous because of all the information we got that they missed out. She is a must book her!!Amazing Experience With Norma!

" Paola was so friendly and knowledgeable. She knew some lovely little restaurants to eat at, that we would never have found (or found a table in!) without her. The experience included lots of typical Bavarian dishes and beers, alongside lots of interesting information about the local area. This is a brilliant first night experience to get a sense of the city, and ideas of places to go to see and eat at for the rest of your stay. Cannot recommend highly enough! "Brilliant knowledge, delivered in an engaging way, with excellent food!

" We had a great food and beer tasting tour with Paola! She took us to many local restaurants and beer houses where we sampled a ton of local Bavarian dishes. Everything was delicious and by the end of the night, we were stuffed! She told us a lot of the local history of Munich which was amazing to hear. Also, we were in town for the NFL Munich game and Paola didn't know what she got herself into when she took us to Hofbrauhaus (the Bucs local team rally spot). But she made sure we got a table and helped us have a great time! We highly recommend this tour and Paola, thanks!! "Ultimate Bavarian food and beer experience

" We were lucky enough to get Paola as our private guide to Munich a few weeks ago. We had wandered through Munich feeling a bit overwhelmed the day before, but after touring around with her, we fell in love with the city. She brought us to great locations and told stories that tied everything together. We saw things we never would have found (or thought to look for) on our own. She truly was our “guiding angel”! Super-personable and easy-going, and fun to share a gluhwein with! She clearly has a passion for Munich! Thank you, Paola! "Private Custom Munich Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems

We were very disappointed with the experience. Anne lacked the most elementary background and knowledge. We decided to end the tour after 45 minutes as it seemed a waste of time. We have used WithLocal guides several times before and it was always great. Not so here. Disappointing experience
