I really liked the tour, it was very informative and the three different routes meant that the city could be explored in multiple ways. Buses were very easy to use even in rainy weather. The opportunity to get off at places of interest was good and the buses came very regularly and reliably according to the schedule. It helps to get a small first impression of a big city. The audio guide is a matter of taste, especially the music that plays in between. All in all, a successful day trip.

I would like to thank Monica and our driver 22/3/2024. Monica gave us a really good information with regards to the history of Germany and the two castles (Lindorf and Neushwanstein). Had fun and would recommend it to my friends. It was good fun.

The organizer was super nice. My daughter had never ridden one before, but she was taught how to do it really well. We saw a lot of the city and had it explained to us. We both really enjoyed it!

Our guide Falk was very knowledgeable, there wasn’t anything he didn’t know about Munich. A lovely way to see the city on a Sunday morning. I’d highly recommend.

Our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. Shared some amazing stories!
