Pick Your Price: Munich Old Town Free Tour
Overview
Your guide brings Munich’s history to life with humor, curiosity, and genuine passion. From medieval legends to quirky modern tales, every stop reveals another layer of the city’s personality — the kind of stories you often won’t find in a guidebook.
Along the way, you’ll pick up practical insider tips to help you explore Munich like a local: where to eat, what to see, and even how to find a beer garden that sells authentic Maß glasses for just a few euros. It’s the kind of tour that keeps giving long after it ends.
With small groups and a relaxed pace, this is an experience that feels less like a tour and more like a walk with a well-informed friend. No microphones, no crowds — just genuine local insight, great company, and a deeper appreciation for one of Europe’s most fascinating cities.
Guests are kindly asked to tip fairly based on the experience.

Our Guides
On arrival
Meeting Point: Karlsplatz (Stachus) — look for the white Karlsplatz sign outside the McDonald’s in front of the old city gate. Your guide will be waiting with a red umbrella and/or red lanyard for easy visibility. The tour meets and departs at 10:15am. If you are running late, just follow the pedestrian street down towards Marienplatz and keep an eye open for the group.
Things to note
We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing, as the tour takes place entirely outdoors and runs in rain or shine.
How can the tour be free?
Our concept is simple — there is no set price. Instead, you tip your guide at the end of the tour whatever amount feels right to you. Typically, guests give between $10 to €50, depending on their satisfaction and budget.
Most guides accept cash or card payments, or you can do it via our app.
Free Cancellation
You are free to cancel a booking anytime. We kindly remind you to cancel bookings you cannot arrive for. Being reported as absent decreases your customer level points and the benefits you can enjoy.
