The tour guide was the best tour guide we have had in any of the tours, with an impressive knowledge of the places we visited. Elvira is just the kind of tour guide you wish to have always, very impressive informative, interactive tour. The bad thing with was not the fault of Elvira, but more of the bureaucracy of the state of Münich, we arrived to see the carriage museum at 3:30 sharp they close at 4:00 pm . And we had our tickets and all and they didn’t let us go inside . Even that the castle sold us the tickets !!! Very unfriendly people at the carriage place , they are public employees so I guess they really don’t care !

Weather wasn’t good,it was heavy rain so if we haven’t opt for this bus we might not able to see anything in Munich. One suggestion: have a display of places synced with audio guide so it would be lot more easier Overall: recommend 👍🏻

Great nice experience beautiful views and also snow falls the time I was traveling so it was great thanks to hop on hop make my journey beautiful

Excellent tour. Elvira was super knowledgeable and answered all questions we asked. I enjoyed the tour very much.

Ivan was the best guide one could ask for. He gave us his passion for history. We loved it. The best experience.
