Great Tour and Guide
NaveeN customized a perfect trip for our family and friends. It really worked out great as he made sure if somebody was hungry he found a place to eat or if we wanted to see something special he seemed to have all the information and answers we needed. Really was a great tour and everyone in our group really appreciated his insight and how willing to care of the group. I would highly recommend this tour.
Operator response
We’re so glad the experience was shaped perfectly around your family and friends! It’s wonderful that the flexibility and local insights kept everyone comfortable and made the day so enjoyable. Thank you for your fantastic recommendation!

Might have been a different experience if not during Oktoberfest
Anna was very pleasant and met us at our hotel. Old Town Munich was packed due to this being the start of Oktoberfest. She took us to a few of the sights, such as St. Peter's church and St. Johann's church, both beautiful, as well as the Marienplatz. Beyond that, she took us to the Hofbrauhaus and to the Dallmayr market, neither of which we'd have likely seen on our own.
Although it was fine, I'm not sure I'd recommend this tour for the money we paid.
Operator response
Hello John,
We’re glad Anna was able to show you some of Munich’s highlights, as well as a few places like Hofbräuhaus and Dallmayr that you might not have come across on your own. We’re sorry, though, that the experience didn’t feel like good value for what you paid.
Feedback like this helps us understand where we can do better and make sure our experiences feel more worthwhile. We hope you’ll give us another chance to make your next visit more memorable.
Warm regards,
Sheenah and the City Unscripted team.
