After a few steps we are already in the old cemetery and discover stone evidence of the past. What funeral customs were there in the past and where does the saying come from that stinks to heaven?

Great for young and old - Very nice and suitable for children tour. Our night watchman (Max-Joseph) handled the children very well and led the tour very pleasantly. Only the Hellebard was missing ;-)

Very good for international groups and for locals - Night watchman tour: We were traveling with an international group, so the tour was in English. That worked out great. The anecdotes told were very funny and exciting - both for the guests and for locals in the group. Everyone has learned something new. I can only recommend the tours.
Because our group was too big for one guide, half of them were on the road with a second. Afterwards, we found that the stories told by the guides were very different – and both were good.

Night watchman - Very successful tour. Our night watchman, was great. Very angsty has picked us all up with her to come to the Middle Ages. With wit and humor, we were conveyed a part of the city's history. Were all 3 thrilled. Would recommend such a guided tour to every Munich visitor.

The slightly different city tour - Thank you for the great city tour!
We were many participants, about 60 people and sore divided into 2 equal groups.
Michael and Ulrike knew every detail and caused astonishment with the most exciting facts and information.
So much humor and joy for the story of the two let the 1.5h fly by.
We recommend this to anyone who wants to see a slightly different side of Munich.
Even the organization went uncomplicated and without difficulties, everything worked great.

An entertaining hour between Marienplatz, Frauenkirche and the castles. - Very nice walking tour in the heart of Munich city center with historical information packed into nice and creepy stories. Fanny is a very charming Munich original as a night watchman.

Exciting knowledge to go - A very entertaining and extremely exciting guided tour of Munich city centre. As a native of Munich, I was amazed to learn what took place in these squares in the Middle Ages or what was behind certain facade paintings, for example, that I have never noticed in everyday life.

No night watchman tour during Christmas time!!!! - Just don't do it in times of the Christmas market!!! 21:00 was a fiasco! No mystique, drunks, just noise and a night watchman going down in all this. Too bad! It's a real rip-off. 19 euros is too much.... or you might even have to suspend as long as there is such a reputation...... was like in the wrong movie.....
