“Phillipp was an incredible guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly, shared many insights about German history and Bavarian culture and even gave us an excellent recommendation for dinner after our tour. Munich is a beautiful city during the day, but it's truly magical at night, and I recommend a later time slot if you can book it. At a time where the world seems at odds, it's great to meet kind people around the world and to share in their cultures.”

They were very good about it. After all the dust settled, one of the guys talked me into doing it. Maybe a little pricey but overall, I thought it was a great rickshaw tour. Would recommend. Beats walking to see some of those sites.”
