The tour was really good and interesting, I can only recommend it. Our tour guide Dhruv was really nice, explained everything and answered everyone’s question. It would be even great if the tour is offered, from time to time, in English as well.

It is a German language tour. It is advertised in English but the advertisement does say it’s given in German. I like the fact that he worked with us with the language challenge. I only speak English. The tour guide speaks English. He should give it in English too. He’s a great guide.

Full description

Experience the uncanny side of Munich on a walking tour of the southern old town. Meet the dishonest figures of the city, who with dirty hands remained on the fringes of society. Go back in time to when death was part of the everyday. Stroll through the lively Angers quarter to see the Hackenviertel with the Hofstatt. Meet shady characters, from hangmen to witches.

Learn where the grave-digger shouldered his spade, where ravens circled, and where executioners whipped their hatchets. See remains of the rogue rabble that made the streets unsafe, when the good citizens retired for the night. Visit cursed places, and learn of the scary events that took place there. Walk from Frauenkiche to the Sendlinger Tor, criss-crossing the Hackenviertel. 

The tour lasts around 105 minutes.

Our guide was fantastic. Although German is not our mother language, she spoke clear and we understood everything.
