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.

I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. It was my first time in Munich, and Philipp gave me the perfect start to my trip. His education, experience, and passion for history make him an ideal guide. I don’t think there’s anything he doesn’t know about the city. Highly recommended!Perfect Intro to Munich

Norma was very accommodating as we were a few minutes late to appointment time. Norma is very knowledgeable of the culture and history of Munich and highlighted for us the main interest points and let us know which historical sites were original and not destroyed in WW2. We enjoyed our time in Munich.

I flew into munich on my way to meet family in Austria but wanted to take advantage of the limited time I had to get to know the City. Philippe was an outstanding guide. I needed to change the tour time at the last minute and he was very flexible. I am sure I could have spent a day with him and gathered a lot more information but he understood my time constraints and we hit all the high value spots in town. Very knowledgeable, personable and a pleasure to spend an afternoon roaming the streets of old town Munich with. Highly recommendFantastic Introduction to Munich

Philipp was a great guide! I was jetlagged and not highly motivated, but he brought me to so many places tailoring off of my interest. It made the rest of my time there more enjoyable. Anytime I see my guide bringing a binder or ipad of various reference pieces, I'm always impressed that they really want you to get the full experience. I'm saving his contact info for next time I'm in the area.A must-do if your new to Munich

Phillip was great! My wide and I had a few hours in Munich to try to understand the city and hired Phillip for a walking tour. It was great to visit the churches with him and learn the very peculiar things about each one with him. Also went to see the surfers and had barely enough time to visit the university and the White Roses memorial. It would have taken me a few days to see everything Phillip showed us in a few hours! Thanks!!!Phillip was great!

She told us all the stories behind the little hidden gems in each Cathedral. At the end, she treated us to a beer at the outdoor beer garden near marrian. It was Van a fabulous day!Warm, funny knowledgeable guide
