Our tour guide told us we didn’t not meet the group minimum and would not be able to guide us. She gave us a map and told us she would refund us but we have not received a refund to date.
I highly recommend this tour to visitors looking to learn a bit about the city and get a good overview of the markets that you want to go back to later when you have a little more time. There is a focus on trying the traditional holiday warm local mulled wines. Not my thing, but fun to try. Our guide Dani was funny, smart, informed and able to answer all our questions. We ate at a few places she recommended and were very, very happy with them!
Be on time! Traffic was terrible and we arrived late. No one at the pick up point would talk to us. Used Viators many times before-this was just disappointing. No way to communicate if we could “catch up” to the paid for tour. Lost over $100.
Dear vrb4! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that traffic delays impacted your arrival and understand how frustrating that can be. To keep the experience fair and enjoyable for all guests, our tours depart on time and wait at the meeting point for at least 10 minutes after the scheduled start. As we did not see you at the meeting point within that time and did not receive a call or message, the guide proceeded with the tour so as not to delay the rest of the group. If guests are running late, we always recommend contacting our office as soon as possible. In many cases, we can advise whether it may be possible to catch up with the group or provide guidance. We regret that this led to a disappointing experience and appreciate you sharing your perspective. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us directly. Kind regards, Tim
Great walking tour around the multitude of Christmas markets in Munich, coupled with a detailed and knowledgeable overview of the sights and history on the way. Our lovely guide could also accommodate a request for non-alcoholic drinks! Really recommended.
<p>This tour is simply awesome. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We managed to visit various Christmas markets, dranks lots of mulled wine (which was very tasty) and laughed a lot. Didn't expect to enjoy it this much.</p>
<p>the Christmas Market Tour was fantastic! Our guide was fun, witty and full of great information. The places we visited were perfect. I highly recommend this Christmas Market tour!</p>
<p>Well worth taking!! See some unique Christmas markets in Munich! I am in my 60s and the tour guide is in her mid 20s nonetheless, she handled it quite well and gave a tour that even an old man like me appreciated.</p>
Lauren was a great tour guide, with her knowledge ability to keep things light and fun. Everyone in the group was engaging which added to the experience. Definitely recommend the tour to learn a bit and see the sights, especially during Christmas season. I look forward to Oktoberfest in the future! Paul F.
My husband and I️ did the Christmas market tour last week and had a great time. Our tour guide, Dani, was super personable, fun, and had lots of great tidbits of information. Great experience in Munich :-).
