We were expecting a tour with Paul, we were met by a woman(we didn’t meet up with her easily because we were looking for a man). There was NO communication from either Viator or Paul’s Tours to let us know who would be our guide. That was very misleading and frustrating. The tour was advertised as 3 hours, but only lasted a little over 2 hours. The tour guide was knowledgeable and pleasant once we got going. The tour, while enjoyable, was not worth the money that we spent on it.

We had a wonderful walking tour of the Munich Altstadt with Johannes (John) from Paul's Private Tours. He met us at our hotel and took us to all of the major sites and churches. We'd been to Munich before so he was worried he wouldn't tell us anything new, but he had nothing to worry about. We learned so much from him not only about the buildings but the history too. He was sure to get us to a perfect spot in front of the Rathaus on the Marienplatz in time for the noon glockenspiel show!

This was a private tour for my husband and I. We had the best time. Our tour guide was Martin. He was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. Would definitely recommend this tour. Lots of walking so wear comfy shoes.

Martin went above and beyond the obvious attractions and gave us a look inside the real Munich. Things you would never see or experience on your own. Because of Martin, we will be back in Munich--and touring yet again with him.

We had such a great tour with Paul. He was so knowledgeable, personable, and fun! Both of us had some grasp of art history, but we learned so much from him. It was a fabulous way to spend two hours in a beautiful museum. Also, thanks, Paul for the book! Pam and Karen❤️

This was a great tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and was willing to customize the tour to our interests. I would have done additional tours with the group if I had not already had plans for my other days in Munich. I will definitely be using this group on future trips to Munich with my family. Strongly recommend this to anyone!

Paul is an amazing guide. Our visit to the Nymphenburg Palace was both informative and entertaining. All 6 in our group loved the visit and highly recommend Paul m

We had a wonderful morning exploring Munich with tour guide Raphael. He was funny, interesting and really brought the history to life! We learnt facts and discovered places we would have never found on our own. I wish we had more time to explore this beautiful city - and if we had, or if we ever come back, I will always choose another tour with this brilliantly charming chap.

I don’t normally take guided tours but this was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Freya, was truly knowledgeable about everything: including details of the palace construction, the stories of the Bavarian rulers, the culture, even the manufacturing of the porcelain. The tour group was only me and my family and Freya went out of her way to tailor this experience for us and gave us great tips for the rest of our Munich visit. This was a solid five hour visit for us. A three hour guided of the Palace (including carriage and porcelain collection) and another two hours strolling around the palace grounds on our own. Highly recommended.

My wife and I scheduled a private tour with Genny and it was WONDERFUL! She asked us our specific interests (architecture, city history & churches) and Genny focused on those as we walked through the altstadt. Her ability to remember details was amazing and her depth of knowledge about virtually every architectural detail was deep. At one point I pointed to a building with an interesting facade and asked if she knew anything about it. 10 minutes later she was still talking about details, previous owners/businesses that had occupied it, and how much damage was done during WW2. Incredible! We highly recommend any of Paul Riedel’s tours - this was our 2nd and each was worth many times what we paid. THANK YOU!

Paul gave my wife and I a FANTASTIC “beer and beer garden tour”, unlike any other we’ve had. Before the tour began he asked a little about our interests and what we had already seen, then custom-designed one especially for us. Unlike a standard “brewery” tour where you go into a bunch of breweries and taste their offerings, Paul told us the history of beer in Bavaria from 1040 A.D. to present, and related it’s development to Bavarian history. He then showed us where the breweries were located and culminated the tour in the Beer Museum, where he used his sommelier training to introduce us to an entirely NEW way of experiencing beer. We were skeptical at first of some of his ideas but trusted his experience and it truly opened our eyes to a whole new way to taste beer. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Oh, and Paul being a super-friendly and humorous guy is icing on the cake!

John was an amazing guide. He was informative and humorous. He was accommodating to our wishes and needs. I would recommend this tour to anyone new to this city.

This was great to get a real scope of the old town. It helped us to understand with our guide sybille how the expansion and rebuilding of the city over time has shaped today’s skyline. Simply amazing!

This was not only fun to learn about the different types beer and food that compliments each type but Sybille was great! We enjoyed the museum tour especially showing the history of breweries and Oktoberfest but puts it all together in a small museum.

The 1 pretzel and 1 beer was good. We learned you can add apple juice to your beer. It was nice to see where the Oktoberfest takes place.
