Naveen was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. He carefully tailored our experience based on our interests
Michelle showed us the highlights of Munich via a private walking and public transportation tour. She made it possible to go to the surfing spot in the English Garden, view the glockenspiel at the Rathaus, and go to the White Rose Memorial. Our granddaughters loved experiencing the S-bahn!
We're so happy to hear your family enjoyed such a memorable introduction to Munich. From the English Garden surfers to the White Rose Memorial and your granddaughters' S-Bahn adventure, it sounds like the experience had something special for everyone. Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback. We're delighted you made such wonderful memories together!

It was a great private tour which met at our hotel. Had a lot to cover and perhaps too focused on churches
We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your private experience and that meeting your host at the hotel made for a convenient start to your day. We also appreciate your comments regarding the itinerary. Your feedback about the experience feeling a little too focused on churches is incredibly valuable and helps us continue improving the balance of our personalized experiences.
I really liked the guided tour with City Unscripted. I got what I asked for and that felt good. My guide was Michelle and I think that she was nice, helpful and knowledgable about Munich's history. Before my trip to Munich, I got to chat with Michelle in a private chat group at City Unscripted's web page. That was very good. I asked her questions and got answers. I can absolutely see myself booking other activities with City Unscripted in the future.
Being able to connect with your host beforehand is one of the ways we aim to create a truly personalized experience from start to finish. Thank you for choosing City Unscripted. We look forward to welcoming you on another adventure in the future!

Loved my private walking tour of Munich! Having a guide just for me made it so easy to ask questions and go at my own pace. I got a great overview of the city’s history and architecture, from Marienplatz to lesser-known spots I wouldn’t have found on my own. Really personalized and informative experience- highly recommend!
