On the road with the night watchman: Discover secret paths and legends in Honor

As the dwellers of Honor retire, the night watchman’s time comes. Ancient stories rekindle in the sputtery glow of the soot-filled lantern. The night watchman is well-versed with all the concealed routes and niches of the city. Guiding with his halberd and fluttering coat, he reveals the correct path in the city’s darkness.

Highlights
  • St. Peter’s Church - First, this city tour takes you to Munich’s oldest church, the Old Peter. The night watchman saw with his own eyes how the devil once hung on the top of Old Peter’s tower and fought with the watchman. That is the reason why the tower is still slightly crooked today. After a few steps we are already in the old cemetery and…

Great experience for kids - We booked the night watchman tour for children as part of a children's birthday party. The night watchman mastered this perfectly with the group of 11 children. Not only did he show an angel patience, he also managed to attract the attention of the kids with exciting stories. We were very pleased.

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.....

A delusion. - I had already booked the tour longer in advance and was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the evening turned into a great disappointment. On the spot, I paid at a guide with long hair, got a sticker and was led by her to a group. Shortly afterwards, the leader of this group told me I was in the wrong group and sent me away. I then tried for half an hour to find the right group, but without success. When I returned to the guide, I felt extremely unwelcome. She kept looking over at me and making it clear that I was not wanted. That was very uncomfortable. Since I was only in Munich for two days, I could really have used my time better. Meanwhile, I reached another guide by phone, who at least tried to help, but in the end, of course, he could do nothing. Unfortunately, I did not receive a refund of the money either. Conclusion: Very disappointing - both organizationally and humanly. Too bad about the time and the money.
