Itinerary
Marienplatz: The Heart of Munich. Right here, in the vibrant pulse of the city, stands Marienplatz. This historic square has been Munich's central hub for centuries, famed for its stunning New Town Hall with the iconic Glockenspiel and lively atmosphere. It's the perfect starting point for our exploration of this incredible city! We have our short intro here before we start the bike tour.
We do a quick stop here for our guests to purchase water and ponchos and let you know where we are in case you want to rent bikes after your tour.
The Platzl: Home of Munich's Heartbeat. This charming, historic square is essentially the birthplace of Munich's legendary beer culture! It's famously home to the world-renowned Hofbräuhaus, and its cobblestone streets are lined with traditional Bavarian buildings. The Platzl perfectly captures the essence of old Munich, making it a lively and authentic stop.e
We stop here to tell guests about the Bavarian State Chancellory and the Hofgarten.
The Residenz, a magnificent complex of buildings in Munich, was once the royal palace of the Wittelsbach monarchs of Bavaria. This sprawling palace houses over 130 rooms, including the stunning Cuvilliés Theatre and the historic Hercules Hall. The Residenz is a testament to Bavarian history and architectural splendor, offering visitors a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the royal family. We ride through the Courtyards but do not go inside. You can do this at your own leisure after the tour. Admission is then applicable.
Here we explain the history of the Wittelsbach family and their role in putting Munich on the map.
We stop here for a while to explain the history that took place here over many centuries and also give our guests the opportunity to see the St. Kajetan Church from the inside.
The best way to see the second largest inner city park in the world is by bicycle. See why the locals love this park full of surprises.
We stop for a traditional lunch under the Chinese Tower. This is a self service food court that also has vegetarian options so everyone can eat what they want. The price of lunich is not inluded in the tour price.
We do a scenic ride along the Isar - the reason many of the locals live here as this is our "Beach" in summer.
We have a quick stop here on the far side of the Isar River before continuing along the river to the next stop.
We end our tour close to this S-Bahn stop.
The Maximilianeum, a grand Neo-Renaissance building, was commissioned by King Maximilian II of Bavaria in 1857. Designed by Friedrich Bürklein, it initially served as an educational institution for gifted students. Situated on the banks of the Isar River, the Maximilianeum is a striking landmark on Maximilianstrasse, a renowned boulevard lined with Neo-Gothic palaces. We stop here for a quick photo op. Though construction was delayed, the building was eventually completed in 1874 and has since undergone renovations, particularly after World War II.

Bike ride was awesome. Especially our guide Bob. He was so knowledgeable about not only Munich and it’s history but how it relates to ancient history. Also explained history of its culture and religion. Very moderate to easy in terms of biking. Lots of stops to points of interest and of course the Beirgarten was the perfect stop toward the end.

We did the cycling tour of Munich on a day that it was really hot weather. We were in a group of 12 and our guide Scott was great at trying to keep us in the shade, whilst he told us the history of the different buildings and landmarks. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed it, the bikes were well maintained and we were offered helmets to wear.

Nice route, also doable for 2 children in our group, from around 10 years. Our guide told us a lot and we cycled past interesting places in and around the city. And for a large part through the park where no cars came, that was relaxed cycling. And also had a nice lunch.

One of my favorite ways to explore a new city is by bike. Our group of 3 adults and 2 boys (14 and 11) covered so much of Munich while learning about its history. Huge thanks to our guide, John, for making the tour both informative and fun.

We had a great time with this bike tour. Only regret is not doing it our first day. John, our tour guide, was awesome. Gave us tons of recommendations of things to do later in Munich. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to get a good tour of Munich. Just a great way to spend an afternoon in Munich.
