14 Best Munich Sightseeing Tours 2020

A 5 star rating only because I can't give it 10! One of the best tours I've ever been on and probably the most well informed guide (Marcin Wright) I've encountered.

I can't praise Marcin enough, more than happy to ask questions, he was affable and extremely knowledgable.

For 6 hours he presented a tour that was compassionate, balanced, yet did not hide any of the 'difficult' and ugly points in the history of which there were many.

By the end everyone was visible moved, and we all walked away knowing we had just been through a life changing experience .

For our Munich resident friend, who was with us, this was the 3rd time in Dachau... But he said this had the greatest impact and has already said that next time we come over we have to do another tour with Marcin Wright. (I'm guessing we have to come back!)

It was amazing ... Am still digesting it several days late.

Small Group Dachau Memorial Site Tour from Munich

I was apprehensive to go at first because of the nature of the tour but I am really glad I went. My tour guide was Marcin again. He was very respectful and once again experienced in his knowledge, having been to and researched the many other concentration camps in Europe. Furthermore, he highlights the important details of the museum that you would otherwise miss if you were on your own. I would definitely recommend going in a tour group although going by yourself allows you the flexibility of time to walk through every exhibit and soak in the environment.

Discover Munich Introductory Tour

We enjoyed the tour and the guide Joyel. I would recommend it storngly at the beginning of the stay. We did take a "Third Reich and Hitler tour" the day before so it was nice to get the more cosy version as a tourist as well. Lots of nice stories, tips for shops and restaurants and sightseeing for the rest of our stay. We did not have the time for Scloss Neuschwanstein, which we would have loved to take. So we have to come back at another occasion.

Great day trip!

This was a great day trip and we were able to see the highlights of Salzburg. As our time was limited, it was nice to leave the navigation to someone else and experience the city without the hassles of planning it all and navigating by ourselves. That saved us time and allowed us to appreciate the city. I would recommend this trip to others who want a quick day trip to see the city.

Fabulous!!!

Just that word does not do this tour justice. Our guide was Jova. Not only was he an amazing story teller, but he was patient (when my group forgot a meeting time) and so much fun. I really recommend this tour!
Although go pee before you get to the tour platform, then there are plenty of restrooms after the 2 hour bus ride to get to the town where the castle is!

Very informative tour, highly recommend Nicola as a tour guide

The tour was seamless from start to finish, our Tour Guide Nicola was very well informed on the history and spoke clearly in English.

I would recommend this tour for English tourists in Munich and ask for Nicola. She also gave some great restaurant recommendations!

Awesome guide

We have Adam Martin as our guide and it feels like history have come alive. Adam gave us so much insight of the area and information on the history of Dachau, we learned so much. Alot of walking but as expected as the area to cover is big. Definitely worth it!

A great tour

Our guide India was super friendly, knowledgeable, and down to earth. The train ride down was beautiful, the castle was exquisite, and the heavy metal sausage shop in Hohenschwangau is an oddly wonderful place for lunch. I highly recommend this tour.

Thorough and Informative tour with a great guide

Marcin is very knowledgeable, and he explained all of the history in a way that was accessible to all levels of historical knowledge. I considered just going to the memorial site without a tour guide, and that would have been a mistake.

I'm just wondering, how did the marathon run go the next Day :)

I cannot stress enough how important it is to book with this company. There is just so much to miss without a guide’s knowledge. It was a very interesting experience.

The best tour I have ever been on out of the many I have been on, mainly due to the tour guide himself. In addition to being knowledgeable in seemingly everything concerning Salzburg and being fluent in German, he supplied me and my friends with a great and unique experience of Salzburg. None of what he said during the tour was scripted, but was rather drawn from his own personal knowledge of the region and explained with his own good sense of humor. Moreover, the extensiveness of this personal knowledge was shown as he detailed to me and all of the other tour attendees what and what would not be good to see in Salzburg with the current day's climate, which saved everyone a great deal of time and effort. He also went above and beyond what was required of him as a tour guide later on as he explained to me to me and my friends what we should see in Munich and the surrounding region, where one of the best restaurants in Munich was, as well as answering the incessant trivia that me and my friends asked. He even gave me a drink of his own Beer, which is only obtainable in Salzburg and which I had forgotten to buy. I do not feel it is an exaggeration to say that this man is a God, in terms of his abilities as a tour guide. Please if you are going on the Radius Salzburg tour or any other tour for that matter, ask when Ian is doing the tour to get the most out of the experience.

A trip to remember

This trip was awesome!! Ian was brilliant. Once we got on the train he told us the entire history of Salzburg (without reading of a paper), answered any questions we had saved us time doing it on the train vs. after we got to Salzburg. He then gave us all maps of the city and walked us through every dot on the map in detail so if there was something we wanted to do in our free time it was efficient to figure it out instead of wander around confused. Then he came around and asked what each of us were interested in and helped us decide where we needed to go. Super helpful! The day in Salzburg was beautiful and full of history. Ian did indeed save us so much time so we could fully utilize our 3 hours alone. He made sure to engage with all 32 of us at least once and was knowledgeable and made the tour a ton of fun!

Somber but terrific tour

We took the Radius tours Dachau concentration camp tour on the morning of Sept. 29th. Well extremely sad as expected, it was an amazing experience though the history of WW II and the persecution of so many people.

Steve was our guide and I can't imagine anyone knowing more about the history of the WW II or the specifics of Dachau. Steve guided us painlessly from Munich's main Train station to and through Dachau and back to the train station. All the while he imparted his infinite knowledge on the group and answered every question thoughtfully.

To tell you the truth, I was planning to visit the concentration camp on our own but my Girlfriend had a preference to take the tour. THANK GOD because Steve's tour was terrific.

Thanks Steve.
