Detailed history of...

Detailed history of Munich. Fairly long walk. Guide was excellent. Entered many beautiful and interesting churches. Started at 12:30 right after Glockenspiel performance just across the Marienplatz.

Operator response

Hi Dean_G, Thanks for your thoughtful review. A walk through Munich’s Old Town after the Glockenspiel is always a great way to begin, and we’re happy you enjoyed the journey and the stories along the way. We’re especially glad your guide, David, made the experience memorable. Looking forward to welcoming you again. Regards, Rosotravel Team

Great Walking Tour of Munich

We caught a train to Marienplatz and walked to St Peter’s Church to meet our Walkative guide Alex for the “Munich Old Town” from 10:45 to 1:15 with a break at Hofbräuhaus for bathroom. We found out from Alex that no building in this area can be taller than the spires of St Peter's Church. May have to change that law as they need to build more housing to cut high costs. Alex did a great job of showing us the main sights in and around Old Town, although I thought he spent a little to long talking about the rise of Hitler and the Third Reich. He was easy to hear and explained things very clearly. Germany has 83 million people having just recently gained 1 million Syrians. Alex explained the “May Pole” and what it represents (seven beer breweries in the city). The Gothic City Hall is only 150 years old, but it looks so much older than the original city hall. The Glockenspiel sounds off at 1100, 1200, and 1700 each day. Hofbräuhaus is a state-owned brewery, so the restrooms are free. Alex pointed out #30 Feldhernhalle, a yellow building from 1844, near where Hitler got his start.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Munich Old Town Highlights tour with Alex. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing both the history and unique stories of the city, and we’re glad that came through during your visit. It’s also great to hear that you appreciated the clear explanations and interesting details about the sights along the route. We hope to welcome you on another Rosotravel tour in the future! Best regards, Rosotravel Team

Wonderful way to see Old Town Munich in timely manner.

It was my first time in Munich and I wanted to see and learn as much as I could about the Old Town as possible in a short amount of time. Selecting this tour and having a guide like Victoria was incredible. Her knowledge and professionalism was superb. The pace was perfect and she even recommended two great restaurants with a more local vibe. Thank you Victoria.

good guide

Ana was a trove of local history. I now know about the local salt trade, where the local breweries get their water, and why hofbräus are called that.
