- Q1319YOjeffd0 contributionsGreat tourThe trip was great! Great views, great guide, and very informative. The bus was nice, there were ample places to get food/drink along the way.Written October 6, 2024
- stephenkN9113KV0 contributionsGreat guide, dreary weatherSusanne was an excellent guide and gave us a very good background on the city. It unfortunately rained the whole time we were there and it was foggy so we didn’t get to see the mountains on the train or in the city. We had an excellent lunch at the Stiegl restaurant and had a great time exploring. Thanks to Susanne for her knowledge and conscientious care towards all of us on the tour!Written October 5, 2024
- 143parveens0 contributionsAwesome day at beautiful castle!Great tour of Ludwig’s castle! Our guide Stevo was the best! He made the 2 hour journey to the castle very entertaining! He was very knowledgeable and quite amusing.Written October 5, 2024
- Megan C0 contributionsStunning Castle Views!Nic was amazing! Along the way to the castle, he regaled us with the history of King Ludwig II and of the Bavarian countryside. It was quite useful for our visit to the castle and made it more enjoyable! The castle itself is tucked away in the Alps surrounded by rock formations and luscious forests. It is indeed stunning! I would highly recommend this tour as there is nothing quite like it. There is a guided tour in the castle at an extra charge of just ten euros but it is worth it to see the beauty inside!Written October 4, 2024
- L2910MIandreaf0 contributionsThe best guide!Steveo was a great guide to the Neuschwanstein Castle. He was very knowledgeable and was sarcastic, which made him fun to listen to as he gave the oral history of Munich and the castle. He went above in beyond in making sure we caught the bus up to the castle on time, checked to make sure we had the best chance at a photo op on the bridge, and was great at pointing out little things during the castle tour. I would definitely recommend Steveo if you want a fun time!Written October 4, 2024
- C5143DTam0 contributionsChoose something elseI would not recommend this tour. It seemed the guide was trying too hard to be cute and folksy. It was annoying. If you don’t mind that then go for it.Written October 4, 2024
- d_yahtz0 contributionsComedy roast and Bavarian History LessonFabulous tour. We’ve been on several during our trip in Bavaria and this was by far the most informative and exciting guide yet. Steveo was part expert, part comedian, part Shepard. He even helped others around us. We felt like we were hearing a roast whilst learning so much. Lots of laughs and lots of memories.Written October 4, 2024

- 299sheilal0 contributionsA wonderful memory of MunichStevco was one of the best tour leaders my partner and I have ever had. He was knowledgeable but at the same time, extremely entertaining in his presentation of what could have been some dry historical facts on Munich’s history. It was a very cold, windy day in October when we took the tour but with Stevco’s charming personality and enthusiasm, we forgot about the weather and just enjoyed the time spent getting to explore Munich.Written October 3, 2024

Our tour guide did not consider the abilities and walking speeds of all member of the group. We almost lost him in several occasions in crowded train stations. The museum was at the top of a very steep, very narrow, theee story flight of stairs, which prevented many in our group from seeing.

Sorry you felt we could have done better on this tour. We are always looking to improve, and will certainly take your comments on board. We must emphasise, however, that we are a walking tour company, and most of our tours do involve a reasonable amount of walking at a reasonable pace.

We went on the beer and food tour with Thomas from Radius. He shared history of the city, Oktoberfest, and the beer tradition. We started at the terminal with a bottle of beer and then on to the other fun German beer pubs to sample beer and food of the region. Everything was very good, and Thomas was fun and informative. We also met interesting people who were in our group. We ended the evening at the beer hall, which was a lively and fun place. They had a live polka band and lots of beer. We reccomend this tour for a fun time in Munich.

I do not recommend this tour because even after advising the staff of a food allergy at 500pm, which they said could easily be accommodated when they called the restaurant, I NEVER received a meal! We sat and waited over an hour with only a bowl of cream cheese and a pretzel while everyone else enjoyed large platters of food. The guide was too busy stuffing his face & drinking beer to notice that two of his group had NO DINNER!!!! A complete waste of time and money. We had to spend another 60 euros to get dinner due to the Munich birthday party that was happening at Marienplatz.

Thank you for your honest opinion on our Bavarian Beer Tour that you joined. I do apologize if you felt like this tour was for not you. The bavarian cusine is a very meat centric one, that is true and the intention of the tour is to share a local perspective on how bavarian culture is lived. There are vegetaian options, which one of them is the Obazda, the Go To dish that you have in a traditional beer garden, which you eat with the bavarian pretzels.
I certainly apologize that our guide did not communicate with you that this is the vegetarian option that is provided, but this is the traditional bavarian go to dish for vegetarians.

I took a weekend trip to Munich while in Germany on business and was by myself so I thought it'd be great to join up with some fellow travelers and drink and learn about beer. There were about 8 of us total and Dani (sp?) was our guide. Half the group was German and half American (the half German was unusual from what I was told, but because of COVID a lot of Europeans are domestically travelling). Dani handled the diverse group like a champion translating when we needed to though the Germans spoke English pretty well so there wasn't too much of a need. There were only two of us there as singles, but we were soon laughing and toasting each other as a group the whole night. Dani provided easy going education about each of the stops and the various beers. Best decision of my Munich weekend was doing this tour! My only advice would be for the guide to have one last beer in the Hofbrauhaus as it is a little awkward ending the night right outside. Other then that small recommendation, five stars!

We do food tours all over the world and this focuses more on the beer culture of Munich, but the food did not disappoint! As with all great tours, the guide sets the tempo, and Thomas was just fantastic, attentive, kind and made a point to talk with each of our little groups...asking questions and ensuring all were doing great. Meeting other travelers is so much fun and you become fast friends. When you end a tour at Hofbrauhaus...there is nothing better. To say we had a great time is an understatement. Book this tour!

Our guide Dani was outstanding being the part of the evening to remember. We joined the tour late coming from another tour meeting the group at the Beer museum where Dani a font of information & my husband much enjoyed tasting beers in historic setting. I have Celiac disease. Dani did find me a glass of wine.
Sadly the balance of evening was a disappointment. We were only able to peek into Hofbrau House
Dani went across street bought a case of Aying beer in glass bottles to carry and drink to next stop. Doubt anyone had time to drink a beer on the short walk. My husband uses a cane. It was drizzling rain so he couldn't drink his beer in a bottle.. No wine for me. At the next stop we were to order drinks and have Bavarian tasting platter. My wine came after others in the group had left! We DID NOT get our food at all. Dani tried to get it for us. We waited well over an hour for nothing Again Dani good guide We believe some refund would be appropriate.

Thank you very much for your honest comments on this tour. The fact that you arrived around 1,5 hours late to the tour really made this very complication to alligne this with the regular intinerary on this tour. That also caused the confustion within our restaurant as nobody know when and if you would be coming. I am very sorry that this did not work out as schedule, I apologize for this inconveinience.

Fun evening! Our guide Kevin started us off with a bottle of Paulaner at the meeting point (it's perfectly legal to drink a beer on the street in Bavaria!), and then off we went to learn about (and drink, and experience) Munich's beer heritage. On a balmy summer evening, the beer was delicious and refreshing. After sampling several styles of Augustiner at a beer museum and enjoying wheat beer (Weißbier/Weizenbier/Hefeweizen) at a lovely old restaurant with our meal, we were escorted to the historic Hofbräuhaus, where Kevin left us and the eight of us guests (who were already good friends by then) carried on! Highly recommended. Munich is a beer-centric city, so why not start with a beer-centric tour?

Kevin was our tour guide and did a great job showing us around the city. We started off with a beer, went to the Oktoberfest Museum for a tasting and pretzel, stopped at Schneider Weisse Gasthaus for a Bavarian style meal, and finally ended up at Hofbrauhaus for a final liter. It was so much more enjoyable with Kevin showing us around the museum and explaining the history of the city and foods we were enjoying, all in all a great experience to kick off our visit to Munch!

The tour was a WONDERFUL experience! Worth every cent. Jax was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable and funny. We started the tour with a bottle of beer, took the train to the Oktoberfest museum where we toured the museum and had 3 samples of beer and a pretzel, then we walked to the next restaurant where we had a meat and cheese plate that was more than enough for dinner, then ended the tour walking to Hofbrauhaus where our whole group ended up sitting together to enjoy more beer. Would absolutely recommend doing this if you’re in Munich!

Took the tour 30 August 2022. The tour did not go to Beer and Oktoberfest museum as shown on the sample itinerary. We went to Augustiner am Dom, Hofbrauhaus and Altes Hacker Haus. Guide didn't really address the group with educational facts. He worked his way through the group talking to small groups at various times. He was enjoyable and knowledgeable, but this wasn't really a tour - t was more like meeting a group of people and going to several restaurants together.

Thanks for the review of our Bavarian Beer and Food Evening Tour in Munich. We are sorry to read the tour did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately the beer and oktoberfest museum has been closed for a short period over the summer due to extensive restoration works. Our guides take groups to an alternative extra beer garden or beer hall in place of this stop and guests are provided with drinks there instead. The nauture of the beer tour is to be led to various beerhalls/ restaurants and be provided some stories and histoy of beer along the way. Its sounds like our guide delivered on this but just didnt quite meet your expectations.
