The tour was conducted professionally, the choice of stories was appropriate for the duration of the tour - the guide provided lots of historical facts, all the stories were told unhurriedly but also without being unnecessarily drawn out. The meeting point was easy to find.

It was really great. The good woman who led us through the streets had fun with what she does, involved the group and had a great way of telling the stories. Hopefully we'll have the pleasure again next time we're here.

Eine wirklich schöne Erfahrung! Man konnte sich keine besser Tour Guide als die Franzie, die die historisch interessante und doch gruselige Tour mit äußert lustigen bayrischen Humor leitetet, wünschen.

Peter has a lot of knowledge and told nice scary stories (especially for children). He does it with passion, you can tell!

Very nice guide. Interesting stories that made Munich's history tangible in myths.
