About
When the citizens of Honor go to sleep, the hour of the night watchman strikes. Old legends come to life in the flickering light of the sooty lantern. The night watchman knows all the secret paths and corners of the city. With his halberd and waving coat, he shows the right way in the darkness of the city.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- philgillin0 contributionsPoor valueHans was friendly and knowledgeable. Connecting at the meeting point was challenging with all of the crowds. Not the best value for the money. Limited food considering it was billed as a culinary tour. Did not ask if there were any food allergies with booking.Written October 6, 2024
- heinzt8880 contributionsGreat tour and professional tour guideIt was a great tour. It was a charismatic tour guide who showed us some hidden sites we wouldn`t have expected. I will do the Viktualienmarket-Food tour next.Written May 8, 2024
- H7142ARmarionf0 contributionsSupportive - Flexible - Friendly - Fun - AmazingI've reserved a tour for my team, as part of a workshop in Munich, with international participants. Weis(s)er Stadtvogel was extremely helpful and supportive, picked us up and dropped us off at the different locations we have asked for - wonderful accommodating. The guide was extremely kind and patient, with all of my participants constantly running behind, busy taking pictures and selfies. I've previously also previously booked personal tours, that is how I knew about about them, and loved them. The history themed tours are so much fun and you learn so many things. If you are looking for a tour in Munich, no need to look any further. You found what you are looking for!Written March 18, 2024
- Daniel K0 contributionsGreat Tour!Great Experience! A lot of information which is new even for people living in Munich since a while already! Great tour guide which also adapted to the special hot weather circumstances!Written July 16, 2023
- adrianrobu0 contributionsA great German experience in Munich!The tour Mark has provided us was amazing, we found a lot about Munich, even though the weather was not as friendly as the tour guide. We enjoyed finding lots of stuff we didn't knew about Munich as a city and Munich breweries. It's great to have a guided tour in places you like, to gain more insights about those places. For the tour guide - keep doing this job and thank you so much for providing us the tour! :)Written December 11, 2022
- 70horstw0 contributionsFun & sightseeing in combinationWe experienced a lot of fun on the tour and interesting insights even for the Munich born participants. Walking through the Bayrischer Hof was a different experience to standard tours But still learning a lot on Munich historyWritten March 24, 2022

- IngolfG0 contributionsExcellent Guided Tour in English!Tobias was the perfect guide - humorous, full of not only information about the Viktualienmarkt, but also the history of the city of Munich. Our students enjoyed it very much.Written May 28, 2019
- sch0ren0 contributionsmystical, romantic, unexpected and unforgettableOk, I will write this in English beccause my spoken German is much better than my written...The evening tour with the Wise City Birds of Munich was really memorable! We arrived on Friday and were already exhausted from the trip, the first impressions and finding our way around but the two-hour tour around the old town was really refreshing. It was a nice balance of your standard tour guide talk but sprinkled with theatrical performance of two amazing actors who would appear, disappear, and then appear again out of the dark corners of Munich's old town. Make no mistake, this offer is in German and if you don't speak it, don't take the tour. But it is so cool that I hope that there is something similar for the non-German speakers too because it would be a pity to miss it. From now on, I wish all guided tours were like this one! Well worth every euro we paid for it and definitely unforgettable. Thank you, birdies!Written October 22, 2018

We set off 12 minutes late with a fairly large group.
The guide did a good job, but he had to be considerate of the three children present in terms of his language and the seriousness of the incidents (no children under 12 were allowed to be present). He spoke to the group and told funny anecdotes. The tour lasted too long in the cold. The more we stopped and listened, the colder it got.

We had a night watchman and she was super good. She was very nice and funny and explained things well. Unfortunately, the two hours went by very quickly. Even after a few days, our children still remembered everything the night watchman had said. :)

In beautiful weather, the night watchman Bertram gave us a great impression of his city Munich in the Middle Ages. He explained everything superbly and played his role with a lot of enthusiasm. It's been a nice, entertaining hour.

We booked the night watchman tour as a company event and were thoroughly impressed! Our "night watchman" Julia explained everything to us with absolute enthusiasm and joy for the cause, we learned a lot and laughed a lot too! It is not our first experience with the White City Bird and I would book and recommend it again and again!

Even for Munich residents, this city tour is something very special. You learn something about historical Munich. Thanks to the friendly and entertaining performance by the "night watchman", the tour is not at all dry and is really fun. We can only recommend this tour.

Couldn’t find the tour guide. Never received a call, email or text saying it changed. Didn’t know until 7 to double check we had printed out the ticket that there was any communication. We called three different numbers to catch up with the guide, no one ever answered or called back.
We were at the meet up place and never saw anyone.

As part of the evening program of our team meeting, we decided to do this city tour with the night watchman. The tour was very entertaining and peppered with humorous and interesting information. We really enjoyed it and it was well received by the group. Thank you very much!

It was definitely also down to the tour guide

The tour was very nice and I will book it again when I have visitors. Munich used to be different. You could easily get into the old days of Munich. I didn’t know much yet, although I have lived here for 25 years and have participated in several guided tours.

The night watchman tour was great! Very entertaining, interesting and informative. A great tour for visitors and residents of Munich. I have lived in Munich for over 30 years and thought I knew Munich well - until I went on this tour. This night watchman tour is a highlight.
