English Free Walking Tour of Munich - Fun & Informative
Overview of the tour in Munich
Join me for a fun and informative free walking tour around the beautiful old city of Munich. Along the way, you'll learn about the city's origins, local legends, crazy kings, Third Reich history, Bavarian culture, traditions, and beer!
Around every corner, you will find fascinating history and architecture spanning the last 860 years in Munich's old city. Therefore, I will take you through a mixture of main squares, alleyways, and backstreets.
I want you to learn but emphasize having a good time, so I teach history by telling engaging and fun stories. This is an interactive tour, so expect lots of questions. The tour includes a 15-minute break, and at the end, you will get a list of great recommendations and things to do.
Group sizes can be anywhere from 10 to 30, depending on the season and events in the city.
NOTE:
- I run most of the free tours myself, and my fantastic team of guides covers the rest of them. Please note that each guide has its style of guiding.
- Meeting point changes during Christmas markets - 25th Nov - 24th Dec. Please meet me in front of the 'Carl Thomass' store on Marienplatz. Look for the white umbrella.

Our Guides
On arrival
You'll find us standing in front of Mary's column in the center of Marienplatz. The guide will be holding a white umbrella which says 'Free tour' and 'Heart of Munich Tours'. Don't be late! Please arrive at least 5 minutes before the tour starts, so that we can sign you in. We start the tour on time.
If you are late, find the group and join. After the first stop is over, go to the guide so that we can sign you in.
Meeting point during the Christmas markets - 25th Nov - 24th Dec.
Due to the Christmas markets, we have to move the meeting point every year. Please meet me in front of the 'Carl Thomass store on Marienplatz'. Look out for the white umbrella and my company name, 'Heart of Munich Tours'.
Things to note
I've been a professional tour guide in Munich since 2017 and, during this time, have received hundreds of five-star reviews across multiple platforms.
Tours run all year round. In Summer, I will keep you in the shade, and in winter I will get you indoors or undercover during parts of the tour. What’s important to me is making sure you are comfortable. Please prepare in winter, as temperatures can be as low as -5C/23F. (December – March)
Also, please be aware that I run most of the free tours myself but occasionally another great guide will work for me.
Free Cancellation
