This was a great way to see a lot of Munich in a short time, wish we would have done it at the beginning of our stay instead of at the end, we had already visited a lot of places on the tour. The weather was a little damp and cold and a 3 hr tour can become uncomfortable so make sure you dress for the weather. Our tour was in english and very difficult to understand by everyone in our group, hence the 4 star rating.

We really enjoyed our day. Set out on the boat from Lindau with a few stops before arriving in Switzerland across Lake Bodensee. Our guide was prompt and very friendly, The ride was mainly flat but I would definitely not take kids younger then 10/12 years as it was 42 Km long (8 hours).

Martin Luther is NOT the same historical figure as MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Germany is not the same nation as the US. Martin Luther was the great GERMAN reformer of the 1500s. Martin Luther King Jr. was the great civil rights American reformer of the 1960s. I keep trying to help this organization, but they don't seem to worry about trivia like historical facts.

We did an excellent tour with our guide Paul. We are glad that we did it. He is an excellent knowledgeable guide, very caring and a lovely person. We visited St. Peter's Church, Platzl an der Orlandostrasse, Bayerische Staatsoper, U-Bahn to Odeonsplatz etc with him. He was very nice to us during our entire visit, patience as a guide should be, explaining history of each place along with some fun. If we ever visit Munich again, we shall hire Paul. Highly recommended.

If this is your first time at Oktoberfest and/or you are a small group the Munich Oktoberfest Tour with Beer Hall Table Reservations tour is for you! This was our first trip to Oktoberfest and we were feeling a little intimidated trying to figure out how it all worked. This tour was the solution. We received a tour of the grounds and learned all about the history of Oktoberfest and each tent, made new friends and felt comfortable enough the come back alone the next day. This is a really fun tour.
