    Stunning Castle Views!
    Nic was amazing! Along the way to the castle, he regaled us with the history of King Ludwig II and of the Bavarian countryside. It was quite useful for our visit to the castle and made it more enjoyable! The castle itself is tucked away in the Alps surrounded by rock formations and luscious forests. It is indeed stunning! I would highly recommend this tour as there is nothing quite like it. There is a guided tour in the castle at an extra charge of just ten euros but it is worth it to see the beauty inside!

    The best guide!
    Steveo was a great guide to the Neuschwanstein Castle. He was very knowledgeable and was sarcastic, which made him fun to listen to as he gave the oral history of Munich and the castle. He went above in beyond in making sure we caught the bus up to the castle on time, checked to make sure we had the best chance at a photo op on the bridge, and was great at pointing out little things during the castle tour. I would definitely recommend Steveo if you want a fun time!

    I would not recommend this tour. It seemed the guide was trying too hard to be cute and folksy. It was annoying. If you don’t mind that then go for it.

    Comedy roast and Bavarian History Lesson
    Fabulous tour. We’ve been on several during our trip in Bavaria and this was by far the most informative and exciting guide yet. Steveo was part expert, part comedian, part Shepard. He even helped others around us. We felt like we were hearing a roast whilst learning so much. Lots of laughs and lots of memories.

    THE CHANGE YOU PAYMENT METHOD POP UP BOX HAS THE SAVE BUTTON HIDDEN
    I have made several reservations with Viator before. i have a trip coming up with 4 reservations. I needed to change the payment method since my card was lost and I got a new one. The website has opens up a page to enter the info but no button to save it. I tried various browswers. The customer service center keeps telling me different stories and they want to cancel my reservations and book again. Totally pathetic third rate expereience this time that has left a bitter taste in my mouth. The Philipinos just keep aplogizing but I am not sure the brilliant person who coded the website will get to know of the issue.

    Learned a lot about pivotal moments in Germany’s history!
    A very informative tour! Our tour guide, Nic, was great. He pointed out and discussed important sights and history, and kept our interest throughout. We saw some historic buildings and learned about some pivotal events in Germany’s history. Highly recommend, especially for history buffs!

    A wonderful memory of Munich
    Stevco was one of the best tour leaders my partner and I have ever had. He was knowledgeable but at the same time, extremely entertaining in his presentation of what could have been some dry historical facts on Munich’s history. It was a very cold, windy day in October when we took the tour but with Stevco’s charming personality and enthusiasm, we forgot about the weather and just enjoyed the time spent getting to explore Munich.

    Great Tour Guide
    This tour was better than I expected. Our tour guide was Michael. He is very knowledgeable and easy to follow along with, he also has a great sense of humor so that makes learning history even more enjoyable. As expected, wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking.

    Definitely worth it, would do it again!
    Tom did an amazing job. He is funny, considerate, and very knowledgeable. Thank you, Tom!! This tour really satisfied my desire to understand more about Nazi beginnings in Munich, and getting to learn about these things in the places it happened was incredible.

We took part in the tour as a German couple. Unfortunately, this is not really recommended.

Pro
•Before the tour starts, you can warm up at the Radio Tours station.

•Michelle is a really warm and open-minded tour guide. A big thank you to her.

•If you don't know your way around Munich (like us), you get an overview of the "hidden Christmas markets" that you wouldn't have found on your own without research.

•Halfway through the tour, we were told where to find a toilet, so the group would have continued browsing the market.

Con
•The advertised "cookie tasting" at the start of the tour is unfortunately a plate of different cookies (presumably supermarket cookies) from which everyone can take one (be careful, not allergy-friendly)
•The informative highlights of the tour should already be known to every German
- Caspar, Melchior, Balthasar including the consecration of the house
- The sale and decoration of Christmas items (nutcrackers, Christmas pyramid, tree decorations)
- Christmas delicacies (mulled wine, gingerbread, potato pancakes).
•In the "Christmas pyramid" section, it was said that families who want to show off to their friends and acquaintances put up a very large and expensive pyramid. I have to admit that I don't know the pyramid custom from anywhere in central Germany. You rarely find a pyramid, if your grandmother wants to put it up and has one from the family. A "show-off" ("show-off") like you see in American films with Christmas lights and decorations is completely unknown to me in Germany.
•A group of 7 Mexican women took part in our tour. Unfortunately, their behavior was not reprimanded and was tolerated for over 2 hours. They behaved completely inconsiderately towards the whole group:
- they delayed the tour enormously by repeatedly making people wait,
- they did not arrive at the agreed meeting point at the agreed times and actually had to be searched for,
- the rest waited another 15 minutes at -4°C at the agreed meeting point, only to find that the women had first got a sausage roll to fortify themselves (a recommendation: if people do not arrive on time, the tour will continue without them). Because everyone else pulled themselves together for the benefit of the group and postponed their personal wishes until "after the tour".

Recommendation for all visitors to Germany:
Bring warm jackets, underpants, hats, scarves and gloves with you. The American guests had problems tolerating the cold and were unfortunately dressed far too cold (I hope you got home safely).

Vielen Dank für eurer ehrliches Feedback. Die Tour ist entsprechend darauf ausgelegt, dass Besucher, welche noch nie in München waren, einen schönen ersten Eindruck der Altstadt und der Weihnachtsmärkte bekommen. Zu dem Gruppe der Gäste, die leider etwas aus der Reihe getanzt sind, dies tut mir Leid. Wir haben natürlich für die Guides immer die Möglichkeit, Gäste von der Tour zu verweisen, allerdings müssen wir leider auch die Gepflogenheiten aller Gäste tolerieren, wenn die Pünktlichkeit nicht immer auf deutschem Niveau ist. Vielen Dank für euer Verständnis.

We arrived 30 minutes early and our guide no showed. We waited until 15 minutes after the tour was to start. We had to pay a taxi to and from. We would have expected at least a call, text or email notifying us if the tour was canceled due to the weather. We went to the meeting point provided on the Trip Advisor Site. This is the second time we were not met for a tour. I would not recommend this company.

The meeting point for all our tours is at our office (Radius Tours, Dachauerstrasse 4) We have a member of staff waiting to check guests in along with the guide for the respective tours. Our tours run come rain shine or snow so there wont have been a cancelation due to weather. If you indeed arrived at the correct loctation you would have been greeted by our staff at check in. It seems from what you have written perhaps there was a mistake in where you thought the meting point was. Regards, Radius Tours.

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.

Thomas was a very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. We enjoyed visiting the different Christmas markets in the center of Munich. The next day we happened to run into him while at Neuschwanstein Castle and he very graciously gave us more good tips!

If you've never been to a Christmas market, Munich is a great place to experience it. Hot gluwein, lights, cabins, bars, street food, an ice rink, there are so many things to see and do, and everyone is in the spirit. If you go to any market, come here.

Jake was very good at keeping us all engaged while showing us the Christmas markets and explaining the historical and cultural significance of each place. If you'd like a good 2 hour introduction to Munich markets and areas of interest around Marienplatz, Odeonsplatz (e.g. Munchen Residenz, Shopping etc) and the churches around these places then Jake's your guy. A good benefit is the walk will familiarize you with the neighborhood and you can explore areas that you like after the tour.

We loved München Christmas Markets with the guide of Patrick Charell, a super well educated and very kind guide. We had visited two markets prior the guided tour but got to know them much better plus all background history, we learned a lot. We visited also new markets beautiful too. The only negative point is that we wish we would have had more time to go through each of the markets after the explanation, as there is much to see and maybe shop too. Sometimes you do not have the chance to go back.
