Wonderful tour guide with incredible knowledge of the site and background history. Such a wonderful place to see - architecture, furnishings, paintings, history…. The guide really made everything so much easier to understand! Even the objects in the treasury were so much better appreciated with the explanations of our guide. Amazing!
David was great. Very knowledgeable and good at putting what we were seeing into context. Very flexible and easy going too.
Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that David made your tour both informative and enjoyable with his knowledge, flexibility, and easy-going approach.
We loved exploring Munich with Lucca! We did a walking tour with my mom, sister, and brother. He showed us the most important parts of the city at a pace that made the most of our time, while still feeling relaxed and enjoyable. He’s a very knowledgeable and easygoing guide. It honestly felt like a family member was showing us around because of how kind he was. We wholeheartedly recommend Lucca as the best guide to discover Munich!

Maryann was a extremely knowledgeable tour guide. She was not only knowledgeable about all of the facts of the tour outline, but friendly and very considerate of our personal needs and questions. She suggested and showed us several restaurants, types of Beer, stores to shop in and even walked us back to our hotel so we wouldn't get lost. Maryann went out of her way the night of the tour, to send us an email with tram information to get to the train station for our next day's tour meeting location. Maryann went far and above the call of duty and made our trip to Munich most memorable.
