Unique Free Tour with a Local Bavarian Guide from Munich
Tour description
I sincerely invite you to a very special walk through the historic center of Munich , with a final detour to the green heart of the city, in the English Garden.
In addition to important historical buildings and their interesting backstories, sometimes funny and sometimes serious, you will also learn unique anecdotes about life in the city from the local Bavarian guide who grew up in Munich and accompanies the tour.
You'll also receive plenty of local tips and information about the world's largest beer festival, Oktoberfest , and other Bavarian traditions, as well as the region's spectacular excursion destinations.
During the tour you will visit the following stops:
Meeting point/start of the tour at Marienplatz (subway and S-Bahn station), in front of the new Gothic town hall in " Wurmeck " (with a view of the town hall, on the far left at the beginning of the "Weinstrasse", i.e. the west corner).
If you see a dragon in the corner of the town hall, you'll know you're in the right place :)
How to recognize the tour guide?
A blonde guide awaits you with a blue and white checkered umbrella and sign that says "Free Local Bavarian Tour."
After the introduction to the history of the city's founding on Marienplatz and the contemplation of the Glockenspiel in the town hall, we gonna take a look to the Women's Church before we pass the famous Hofbräuhaus / Royal Brewery, and head towards the National Theater/Opera and the Royal residence.
Next, we stop at the Odeon Square (Odeonsplatz), where we will see the most beautiful church (Theatine Church) in Munich and also learn more about the founding of the biggest Beer festival of the world, the Oktoberfest, and Bavarian traditional Lederhosen and Dirndl.
On the other side, a dark story about National Socialism is also discussed, in front of the " Feldherrnhalle ". From here, the tour continues towards the green part of Munich, passing by the Hofgarten /Residence Garden to the city's pro surf wave at the Eisbach, at the beginning of the English Garden.
After a short walk through the English Garden next to the river Eisbach, the route ends at the 2nd largest beer garden in Munich, at the Chinese Tower.
There you can finish the tour with a beer and lunch, or you will be described exactly how to return to the historic center or other desired destinations for the day.
Little hint:
Although there is always the possibility of buying food yourself at the beer gardens, in this one, as in most of Munich, you can even bring your own food and you will only have to buy the beer on site.
After many years guiding people around my hometown, Munich, in German, Spanish and English, I would be happy to welcome you on this tour to give you a unique and unforgettable experience.
Please make a reservation if you wanna join the tour, so we can come together later at the meeting point :)
A big hug,
