This was our second time to Munich, and since we enjoyed our tours with BlackBook Tours so much the first time, we decided to see what else they had to offer. Just based on our own limited availability, we ended up doing the True Crime tour. We are by no means True Crime aficionados, but you don't need to be for this tour. The stories span the centuries; and cover a wide range of types of crimes, criminals, and outcomes. It really was fascinating, and even lead us down a bit of a research rabbit hole later that night which ended up risking our ability to sleep - some of the stories/details really are that gruesome. Having done quite a fair share of guided tours around the world, one thing I really have come to appreciate is the personality of the guide his/herself. And this is where BlackBook tours really is a notch above others. Katrina is upbeat, friendly, funny, and real. You just can't fake that, and it makes all the difference. One important note if you're considering booking this tour - and it unfortunately needs to be said - this is, as advertised, an outdoor walking tour. It involves walking and standing outside for a considerable length of time. Be realistic with yourself and do not underestimate the impact of the weather on on your experience. Check the forecast, and check it again. If it's forecast to be literally freezing (as it was for us), add an extra layer and some extra accessories (scarf, hat, gloves) to whatever you THINK should be sufficient. Maybe bring an insulated mug full of a warm beverage. And then don't blame the guide if they aren't magically able to make the weather bend to their/your will.

I signed up for this tour, knowing full well that the weather was not the best. When I showed up, I was told that I was the only one on the tour, so Katrina gave me the option of continuing the walking tour in the dreary weather or going to a warm, cozy place instead. I opted for the warm, cozy place. This was perfect for me since I enjoy the various true crime podcasts that are out there, so it was like being able to sit down with a podcast creator and hear the various stories and ask all the questions you've ever wanted to ask. She also had pictures that went along with each of the crimes being discussed, so it was the perfect mixture of a podcast and fantastic Christmas cocktails. I am sure this tour is even better when you get to see some of the sites that she talks about, but I really enjoyed the warm, cozy option. When I return to Munich in 2024, I will certainly sign up for other tours Katrina offers!

This was a really interesting, different kind of tour. The route we took went by lots of the most famous and touristy parts of Munich, but we got to hear all kinds of different historical stories instead of the usual architectural type things. The crimes discussed were varied and covered a long time period. It was different and we really enjoyed it. Katrina is a great storyteller.

Very interesting tour both of the City and of the History. Tour guide was very knowledgable of the area, her chosen subject and other areas as well. Easy to find start point and we were returned to the same area.

My wife and I were the only ones on the tour because of the recent snowstorm in Munich - Katrina was nonetheless very accommodating, knowledge, flexible and transparent on this tour. Would recommend this tour for those interested in the real stories of Munich and the area or for something a little different than a ghost tour!
