What I love about Questo App, is that it always wins against locals! I don't recommend it only for tourists, by also for people born and living in the city. My story with Questo started with the "Haunted City" Game, and I discovered Munich in a very dynamic, flexible, updated, enthusiastic, and unique way. I have been living there for 7 months, and I thought I knew every corner in it, but guess what!? I was totally wrong!!! "Haunted City" challenge highlights magnificent details thru the trail... I also purchased the brewery game in Munich and also a game in Vienna! So just grab your backpack, fill it with some great snacks, and let's hunt some ghosts ;) So, in every trip, I recommend reserving a day for Questo or if you don't have any clear plan for a one-day city visit, just download Questo and it will do all the job for you with the best experience ever. Very well recommended!

Beautiful setting, however little time to enjoy the inside, reduced areas to visit - the guide tour was too short and frustrating, considering the price. What you are allowed to see is what there is in every book or brochure, the rest is closed to the public. A shame and sham.

If you are in Meissen, go for the Stadtkirche (central market place) and ask if you are allowed to climb the tower. Currently, the tower is under renovation so please ask in the Tourist office opposite of the Stadtkirche for the key. You've to pay 2 EUR and then you can climb up the tower. There are several levels to climb: 1st the stone steps, 2nd a wooden stair, then the higher you climb at last a tiny ladder but you'll be awarded with a fantastic look over Meissen. See it yourselves and report……. :-)

We were very fortunate to meet Phillip and his excellent tour and car service company. From my many booking questions, to the actual day of service, everything was thorough and 5-stars. He speaks perfect English, yet is a local German who knows every shortcut and fast-track around the city. You feel like you are VIP when you go on a tour with him. We hired him for 2 airport transfers and a full day tour and each was spectacular and efficient. His 7-series is excellent, even better equipped than the S-Class and it had free in-car wifi as well as the executive back seat package. The BMW is definitely the car to get. Phillip anticipates your needs, and is pleasant and easy going at all times. I highly recommend treating yourself to his services when you are in Munich, it will elevate your trip to the next level. We are already thinking about how we can incorporate him into our next European trip. Thanks Phillip.

We went in August with Cynthia as a guide. I was really looking forward to the tour, but I'm sorry to say that it was a waste of time. The bars we went to very average - one was empty, another was a commercial chain bar off the main street. One of the bars we went to wasn't even open, so we left! The club that the tour guide deposited us into at the end of the night was playing Britney Spears and pretty awful. Cynthia didn't show much interest in interacting with people on the tour, and then she left. Overall, not worth it I'm afraid.
