The only tour guide you should use in Munich

Wow wow wow! Ozzie was amazing! I don’t usually use exclamation points but Ozzie was that good. He was knowledgeable, entertaining and clever enough to keep us in the shade on an unseasonably hot summer day. When your 23,21, and 15 year old sons say it’s the best tour they have ever been on, and your 80-year-old mother has the same sentiment, you know it’s good. Our next trip to Bavaria will definitely include a tour and beer with Ozzie.

Educational Tour, Perfect US English

Ozzie had a great personality and he spoke perfect American English. He talked much about the uniqueness of Bavarians, some history, politics, and helpful hints for tourists in Munich. He's been doing this for 20 years, so he knows his stuff!

Great tour!

Great walking tour of Munich with Ozzy. This was far more than a walking tour, as Ozzy provided a comprehensive understanding of Munich culture, history, and politics. We did the tour on our first full day in Munich and it definitely gave us more appreciation for things we saw and observed during the rest of our vacation. The tour did last about 4.5 hours so I would plan your schedule accordingly.
