Shopping with Christmas lore - Emmet was an amazing tour guide and introduced us to markets we had not seen and shared a wonderful wealth of Christmas history. We initially got lost and rather than moving ahead he came out to find us four blocks away. He took special care to make sure we were informed and felt ready to venture out to shoot on our own Great tour !

Great introduction to Munich and the Christmas Markets!! - This was the perfect way to start our time in Munich. We are visiting for the first time and especially wanted to see the Christmas markets. We had just gotten off the an international flight that morning. So this tour was just right amount of walking and a great way to get an overview of the markets and learn some history of Munich too. I would highly recommend this tour!

Beautiful Munich Christmas markets - This walking to our gave us a great overview of the sites we wanted to see in Munich and the location of five different Christmas markets. We then took time the following day to go back and visit these and shop at our own pace. Would highly recommend.

1st day in Munich and great way to see part of the city - Was a very informative tour giving a good overall view of the markets. Michelle also walked a bit fast but she did also acknowledge that she did. There was a 2nd guide with the group who was smoking a pipe which was a little off putting. Not the sort of tour if you want to look at all the stalls in the markets. More a get to see what is there and come back later.

Not expensive but not worth it either - Tour guide was nice. She quickly walked us through about 4 different christmas markets, but we didnt slow down to talk about the local foods or crafts or anything so dont plan on doing that on this tour. You’ll definitely need to come back and slowly walk through to see all the booths and stalls and unique foods and drinks. Not sure I would do this again. Preferred to stroll thru 3 of the mkts and the streets of Munich myself for 9 hours the day before so was able to take in so much more on my own. This tour didnt meet most of my expectations so I probably wouldnt do it again.
