My 16 year old daughter and I toured Munich with Taff last month. Our best day of the entire two weeks (Munich, Salzburg, Rome and Venice) was spent on a overcast day exploring the city laughing and learning with Taff and his bag of "history"! My daughter and I had been trudging thru the city for two days prior, but... More

We had a great time touring Munich with Taff. He is very informative and really helped to make the tour fun and interesting. He has a bag full of artifacts and pictures that really helps to illustrate and bring the history of Munich alive. It's a great tool to really bring an edge to his tours. Taff was also great... More

Our party of five booked Taff Simon for a whole day during our Easter week visit to Munich, and we had a fabulous time with him. First, he was totally accommodating to our interests, and let us set the focus of our tour. Since we all appreciate WWII history, and that is Taff's strength, we asked him to focus on... More

Taff Simon is one of most knowledgeable, well-spoken, prepared and flexible tour-guides that I've had the pleasure of meeting. He was accomodating with our last minute scheduling changes and still gave us a fabulous tour in the small amount of time we had - and at quite a reasonable price. Great learning experience for all ages. Highly reccomend! More

We spent the afternoon with Taff touring the center of Munich and it was fabulous. To start off, we only had a day and a half in Munich. Arriving Friday afternoon and departing on Sunday morning. We already had plans for Saturday but did not have plans to tour the city. We were arriving in Munich on Friday afternoon and... More

Taff was a superb and knowledgable tour guide. He's not just a history buff, but an archaeolgist as well. He took us all around the city and pointed out the amazing history of Munich, complete with props and photos that he carried around with him all day. This city has so much rich history and Taff has an obvious passion... More

We booked this tour to begin only hours after we arrived in Munich. My wife decided that this would be a good way to get familiar with the city. But I was worried that we would be too tired. Not to worry. Taff was a great host and told us to let us know if we were tired, etc. Taff... More

Taff was great. He catered the tour to our interests and as a result we not only learned a lot but he made it interesting and fun. I still am impressed but his knowledge of Munich and its rich history. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Munich. More

My friends and I ran into Taff in Marienplatz on a random morning. We had nothing planned for the day so we all decided to go on his tour. It was the best 2.5-3 hours I spent that day! Taff explained every thing to us in such detail and answered any and all of our questions. We had already seen... More

We took a 3 week family vaca to Europe in June. When we ask the kids what they liked best about the trip, months later they still say the tour with Taff! And they still marvel at his "magic bag"-- his backpack full of interesting artifacts. Taff was very knowledgable, sweet, and accommodating. More
