Our tour with Alun was absolutely incredible! He is very knowledgeable, engaging, passionate about history, as well as friendly and engaging. We were fortunate to have a private tour, which made the experience even more special. Alun expertly guided us through Munich’s Nazi history, weaving together facts, stories, and insights that truly brought the past to life. Alun’s thoughtful explanations added so much value to the tour and made the experience both educational and deeply moving. Both my dad and I love history, and this tour was the highlight of our trip. If you’re visiting Munich, this tour is an absolute must. Thank you, Alun, for an unforgettable experience!

Philipp’s Christmas tour is really great! From the Christkindlmarkt to the Krippelmarkt, he shares legends, traditions, and festive secrets. I especially liked the story about the 'Prezel Rider' and the 'Devil'e Footprint' in the Frauenkirche church. Big recommendaton!

We had a great morning! Our driver was very knowledgeable. He took us to all the key spots and gave us the history. Olympic Park, Nymphenburg palace, and dropped us at the Tollwood winter fest. Was so fun travelling around in the cute authentic 1970’s VW van!

What a great introduction to Munich's historic city center and its beautiful Christmas markets! With enthusiasm and funny stories, Philipp made it easy to dive into the festive atmosphere. I highly recommend!
