Michael was a great tour guide, friendly and engaging. The tour itself was well paced, gave the group time to ask questions and go around the places he took us to and take pictures. He was very knowledgeable and the tour took in a number of places that gave us a really informative background to how Munich developed as an area and major parts of it’s history. I was surprised how much he delivered to us in the time that we spent going around the sights, he included a number of printed pages to support the tour and it complimented everything really well. Overall a great experience and recommended to anyone that wants to understand Munich and it’s history.
