Why we recommend it
Munich Walk Tours is a local guiding company that offers a broad programme of walks and bike tours in the city, for both German-speaking and international visitors. As well as scheduled shared tours in English and German, it runs private tours in German, English and Spanish, and it also trains new city guides, which says something about its roots in the local guiding scene.
The range of themes is wide. Alongside a classic city walk and general sightseeing tours, there are food tours, beer and brewery tours, street art tours, Third Reich history tours, guided bike tours and trips to the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site. The mix makes it a useful company to know if you want a second or third tour after a general introduction, perhaps a food tour on one day and a street art walk on another.
Practical details such as meeting points and start times are published on the company's website for each tour, so check the relevant page and your confirmation before you set off. Shared English tours are the most economical option for individual travellers and couples, while private tours suit families, friends travelling together and groups who want a guide to tailor the route to their interests, pace and language. The company is based in Untergiesing, and tours start from the meeting points listed online.
The tours suit curious travellers who like to learn about a city's history and everyday life from a local, and the food and beer tours are a good way to try Bavarian specialities with someone to explain what you are eating and drinking. As with all walking tours, wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather, as most of the time is spent outdoors.
Book online in advance, especially for private tours and in busy periods such as the summer holidays, the Oktoberfest and Advent, when guides are in demand. Contact is by email through the website, which also lists the full tour programme. If you are interested in becoming a city guide yourself, the company's training courses are described on its site as well. Groups planning a company outing or a school trip can also ask about tailored private routes by email.
