It was very well told with a lot of humor and interesting details. Buggy so that you learn something and not too much so that it stays exciting. I highly recommend. A guided tour around the clock is something special anyway, but with the night watchman as a common thread it was even better :)

Recommended! the tour was very informative, fun and the night watchman Wolfram went out of his way. I would not only do this tour a second time but also recommend it to anyone who is either on vacation in Munich or even lives there. He included us and made the tour a real experience. keep it up!!

What a fabulous tour! Our night watchman was enthusiastic, playful, and a great storyteller, and he has clearly done careful research into the history of Munich. I also very much appreciated his giving the tour in English to make sure that all of us could understand. (His English is excellent.) I would most definitely take a tour with this particular guide again.
