    Amazing tour! Jax is friendly and entertaining. Good at corralling a large group in crowded places. We got a fantastic overview of Munichs history with a nice walk through the old town. This tour is very very worth it to get your bearings. Tip well people!! This is a free tour and the guide depends on your tips.

    I had 5 hours to spend in Munich before my flight back and this experience was probably the best decision to take. I was a part of the bigger group, led by Patrick-a super talented, young guide that makes any history fact fun. Thank you for the experience once again!

    Very interesting and informative tour! I really recommend it! Jax knows oodles about Munich and was very fun and funny and wham-bang on time for every portion, like clockwork (like glockenspiel-work.)

    I enjoyed the city tour today with Patrick. I joined the group by a chance. My lucky day obviously! Wonderful man, very sociable and funny. I remember almost all because the way he talks about Munich is just fantastic! I strongly recommend Heart of Munich Tours. Emilia, Poland

    The walking tour with Heart of Munich Tours, was an absolute delight! Our tour guide, Patrick, was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. Having done over 20 walking tours in the past years, I can confidently say that this was one of the best. Not only is Munich a fascinating city with so much to offer, but the tour itself was well-prepared, the guide was exceptional, and the stories shared were captivating. Highly recommended! The tour is tip based.

    I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn a bit more about the history of Munich, while also having a great time and learning some fun facts on the way! Charlie has been a fantastic tour guide, knowledgeable and funny, and with his great impressions and theatrical manners, he adds excitement and joy to the tour. I had a lot of fun. Thanks!!

    Our guide, Patrick, was awesome! He was an amazing storyteller with great energy. Super engaging! He also gave advice about what to do and where to go when you're in Munich as well. Highly recommend taking on your first or second day in Munich to have an overview of the whereabouts here.

    I really enjoyed my tour of Munich yesterday morning (5/7/23). I'm somewhat embarrassed that I cannot remember the guide's name (sorry 😔), but he was very good. Very informative, with quite a bit of humour thrown in and he even managed to include the two kids (that were there with their parents) in a bit of role play to make them feel included as well! I would definitely recommend this local tour group.

  • 5/5 Katherine F. 4 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    We enjoy doing a walking tour when we travel, and we chose Heart of Munich tours based on their reviews and also that they are an independent company. We do not regret our choice! We had a tour with Brett, who was very knowledgeable about the city but was entertaining at the same time. I lived in Munich for a year and even I learnt a lot about the city during the tour. Brett also was very informative about suggestions about where to try in the city. The whole tour had a very laid back vibe but with a lot of information, which we really enjoyed. We would strongly recommend using this company (although I still disagree with Brett that the Glockenspiel is tacky).

    We decided to join this guided tour even we thought that we have seen most of the attractions after 2 days in Munich. After walking with our guide Charlie for about 1.5 hours, we’re so glad we made the right decision! Charlie is very knowledgeable in Bavaria history and extremely familiar with the streets around Marienplatz. He showed us lots of places we missed, and told us lots of stories we could never know without hearing from him. Unfortunately, we had to drop off a little earlier to catch the flight. I’m sure the remaining tour would be as interesting as the 1st half. I highly recommend the Heart of Munich tour if you want to learn the most about Munich with limited time.

  • 5/5 Adam T. 2 years ago on Google
    A really enjoyable tour! Jax is such a friendly person and very knowledgeable about Munich which created a really engaging and interesting morning. He even gave us some great suggestions for things to visit and explore in the afternoon. Would definitely recommend! Thank you :)

  • 5/5 Jasreen A. 1 year ago on Google
    Brett, our tour guide, was absolutely fantastic and his passion about the city was contagious. He guided us through the most important places in Munich and his tips were very informative for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 Stefan T. 11 months ago on Google
    Me and my friends went for the Heart of Munich tours and had a really good experience. The tour offered a good introduction into Bavarian culture and the vibe of the city of Munich. This is the perfect way to start your stay in Munich. Charlie made many good recommendations at the end of the tour and also was entertaining during the tour. Munich has many cool stories and it felt like we got quite a bit in those 2 and a half hour on the tour. You start at the beginning location and end up in the same location where you started. Charlie, if you ever come and visit Bucharest, do not hesitate to contact me, promise to give you a nice tour in the city.

    We had an awesome tour with Patrick this morning. Very knowledgeable and funny. Absolute pleasure to spend our last morning in Munich with him and everyone else on the tour. It didn’t feel rushed and we were allowed the time to take everything in. It was great to fully understand Munich’s history. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Colleen G. 10 months ago on Google
    Jax is knowledgeable and fun to listen to. He knows Munich well and made it easy for me to experience many iconic sights during my short stay. I recommend his tour highly, and don’t forget to tip him well, as he is worth it!

  • 5/5 David D. 10 months ago on Google
    We joined the free walking tour on a busy Saturday in July 2023, booked beforehand to secure us a spot - which is highly recommended. Our guide Brett was very welcoming and chatty immediately, he was super knowledgeable about many aspects of the city and very passionate about beer culture in Munich! We didn’t see so many sights but learned a lot of unexpected facts, some more, some less useful. It unfortunately started raining during the tour but Brett was flexible and found us some cover and lectured us a bit on historical stuff about Munich, which was great! Totally can recommend this tour, rain or shine!

  • 5/5 Kirsten S. 9 months ago on Google
    We attended this tour with Brett as our guide - 100% one of the best walking tours we have ever attended. Brett was friendly, funny and just extremely enjoyable. He had the unique ability to deliver content-dense and heavy information about the city in a way that was completely captivating. My partner and I compared notes during and immediately after the tour to make sure we didn’t miss any details. We will definitely be back soon to learn and explore more of the city, not to mention drink lots more beer in the many beer gardens of Munich - as is our legal right! The walking tour was a big highlight in our entire trip in Europe - a huge thank you to Brett for being such an amazing tour guide.

  • 5/5 Darwin S. 9 months ago on Google
    This walking tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Bavaria. Jax is an awesome communicator and story teller who brings the city of Munich to life. He gave us recommendations on other places to see and dine at and we were glad we did. This is a fantastic way to introduce yourself to this great city. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Malou N. 1 year ago on Google
    Jax (Jake Slisz) is a highly recommended tour guide. Jax did not only show us the wonderful places to visit in Munich. He made us understand the significance of every building, monuments and place of interest. To top it all, he did a very good job in making us re-live the historical moments of the tourist spots we visited by showing us photos of important events that transpired. Jax's tour was one of the bests we had in Europe. Thank you Jax and see you again soon!

  • 5/5 Kim W. 8 months ago on Google
    Charlie was our guide and provided an excellent tour. He was so knowledgeable and encouraged lots of questions. He acted out scenes from history and told great stories that helped us remember what he was teaching us. This was a perfect way to see many Old Town Munich sights and learn a few things. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Alan L. 7 months ago on Google
    We really enjoyed this tour. Jax is clearly very knowledgeable about the history of the city, and he clearly presented that to us all during our tour. He also welcomed questions and at the end of the tour provided us with some great suggestions for the remainder or our trips, such as locations to eat, attraction see, etc. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Munich.

  • 5/5 Jacey Y. 7 months ago on Google
    Jax is so knowledgeable & passionate about the city of Munich. He shared so many fun facts & histories of the city during the tour. His recommendation to see a hidden Medieval townhouse museum was amazing! Highly recommended to take this tour if you are visiting Munich.

  • 5/5 Alyssa M. 7 months ago on Google
    Patrick was a phenomenal guide and storyteller who kept us engaged the whole time. This is the best tour I did during my month long trip in Europe! He shared information clearly and in an engaging way by speaking at a good pace, using body language and hand gestures. He told jokes and made connections with current pop culture to make it more relatable to us. He even offered me tips to help me enjoy my days in Munich.

  • 5/5 Vyshno B. 7 months ago on Google
    I did this tour on Nov 1. Our tour guide was Brett who has a booming and attention-holding voice. I also loved how he spoke so passionately about his love for beer 🍺 😁. This is however my second time in such a tour and I think some things were missed in it, like parts inside any churches or the four Lions near Munich residence. Over all it was great because Brett made it so. Thank you so much! 😃😄

  • 5/5 Julianne S. 2 years ago on Google
    Jax is a great tour guide! I left the tour feeling like I had a good sense of the city and he provided resources so that we could explore more on our own. He was funny and engaging and I will be taking all of my friends who visit Munich on his tour again!

  • 5/5 Thomas N. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best free tours we have attended!! Congratulations for the 2 ½ lessons in fun, history and a bit of sarcasm as well 😉

  • 5/5 S P. 2 years ago on Google
    Highlight of our trip! Jax gave us a super interesting tour around Munich! The atmosphere was super nice and open, also with the necessary humour. He showed us the big highlights, but also gave us some insider tips and showed us special places. I would totally recommend a friend/family to take this tour with him! Definitely a big highlight of our trip to Munich 😊

  • 5/5 Kristyna S. 2 years ago on Google
    Had such a great experience with Jax! I booked super last minute (the night before at 10pm), he happily squeezed me into the tour! Jax gave us a great tour sharing lots of hidden secrets about Munich and some good recommendations for the rest of my stay in Munich

  • 5/5 ian p. 1 year ago on Google
    We were a group of family and friends enjoying Munich and Jake tailored a tour taking in the sights of Munich and the history of the city with a focus on the third reich. Aileen was a wonderful tour guide giving a great sweep of the history of Munich and highlighting the courageous people who stood up to the nazis. We were delighted with the narrative from history to the present day -really well informed and passionate, thank you xx

  • 5/5 Susanne H. 2 years ago on Google
    My daughter (9 yrs) and I had a wonderful time on Jax’s tour of Munich city centre. It was very informative and the length of the tour is perfect. Would highly recommend it if you want to know a little bit about the history of the city!

  • 5/5 Valerie P. 2 years ago on Google
    Dear Jax, my dad, Frank (81)and I had an absolutely brilliant day. You were very knowledgeable and informative on the history tour yesterday in a fun, interactive way! My dad was none stop talking about it on our way home. Highly recommend you for ALL age groups. Keep up your genuine enthusiasm! Val originally from Liverpool.

  • 5/5 Nicole Q. 2 years ago on Google
    Great tour with Jax. Lots of historical facts without feeling like you’re in school. Ended with a review of breweries and Oktoberfest history and great recommendations for your stay in Munich. Very helpful and knowledgeable tour guide.

  • 5/5 Kim W. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a great day today with Jax as a tour guide. He has some great stories about Munich and will make you laugh. Definitely recommended! Cheers, Jonas and Kim

  • 5/5 Cagla B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing tour with an amazing guide! As a Munich local I enjoyed every minute of it. I’m happy to get to know this city’s history and culture better with a fun guide. Highly recommended to everyone!

  • 5/5 alexandra g. 2 years ago on Google
    Jax was very nice and you could see he knows a lot about this beautiful city. Interesting and visited must seen spots of the city. Really enjoyed the tour! Would recommend to everyone! thanks Jax :)

  • 5/5 Constanze S. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a wonderful tour! Jax is very knowledgeable when it comes to Munich's history (or history in general), has a great sense of humour and he even gave us recommendations for the city at the end of the tour. Definitely a must-do if your are experiencing Munich for the first time! Thanks Jax!

  • 5/5 Alice Y. 1 year ago on Google
    I did this tour with my sister. We had a great time. Jax knew the history of Munich very well and shared the history in a interesting and funny way. I would highly recommend for anyone who wants local tips on where to eat, what to drink, and learn some history.

  • 5/5 Felicity V. 2 years ago on Google
    I had the best tour with Jax! He tells the history of Munich is such a quirky, interactive way which is sure to make you want to know more! The tour takes you across Marienplatz, St Peters, Odeonsplatz, Hofgarten and so much more with plenty history to go with it. As well as a great pitstop to grab a glühwein towards the end of the tour. After Jax's tour I felt like I had a great understanding of Munich and he gave us an incredible list of recommendations to go away with for my weekend in Munich. I've been on a lot of free walking tours and this was by far the best! Love to support Jax's small business and helping it grow! Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Max S. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great time on the tour today with Jax. A superb guide with lots of knowledge enthusiasm and humour for the city. Thanks for making our short stay in Munich memorable!

  • 5/5 Allison C. 1 year ago on Google
    We did the Munich tour with Jax and it was wonderful! The 2.5 hour tour flew by quickly. He kept the group engaged with questions/participation. I appreciated how he tried to find shady areas for us to stand while he spoke. We got a summary of recommendations at the end of the tour which was a great resource. Would definitely recommend this tour!

  • 5/5 alba t. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best tour I ever had! It is like a friend is guiding you into the city. The tour is well prepared, interactive and with some visual aid from a tablet which I find a good idea. You'll learn a bit of history and fun fact of the city walking through the main center spots. It is really clear that Jax loves Munich and his job, he also makes sure that everyone is included and understands the explanation. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Herminia A. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible tour guide!!! Jax shows you the most important sights of Munich with lots of history and fun curiosities. During the tour, we have time to explore the main points of the city and he also gives us great recommendations of bars/restaurants/places to explore during the rest of the trip. The highlight of the trip <3

  • 5/5 Jason V. 1 year ago on Google
    We took this tour in October. I've taken 30+ walking tours throughout Europe and the trouble is always finding a guide who is not only knowledgeable and interesting, but is also clear and easy to understand. Ben with Heart of Munich Tours provided both of these major requirements and we were able to get a lot out of this experience. A bonus was the Suggestion List provided at the end that gave us many options of things to do and places to explore after our tour! I highly recommend this company to future travelers in Munich!

  • 5/5 Liza L. 1 year ago on Google
    Last weekend we were fortunate to have 2 private tours with Heart of Munich Tours. Day 1 saw us head off to Dachau with Matthew. He managed to make a difficult subject engaging and his approach was respectful and honest. We were astounded at his in depth knowledge of not just the history of WW II but of Germany as well. Day 2 saw Jax himself also pick us up promptly from our hotel and head off on the train Neuschwanstein Castle. Jax too is friendly and engaging, and he slowly revealed the very intriguing story of the castle. We really enjoyed his easy going manner and patience as we took all of the information in. Both days were really great, we felt well taken care of and both guides unpacked the history of the day in such a wsy thst we could retain what we had learnt. We loved all the food and sightseeing recommendations, we did follow their advice and it was right on the money. When in Munich again, we will definitely be booking Jax for another tour!

  • 5/5 Andrew D. 1 year ago on Google
    My wife and I loved the English walking tour with Jax. We would have paid for one normally, but ended up tipping much more than a normal tour would have cost. Well worth it, fun, and informative in a beautiful world city.

  • 5/5 Teresa B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great tour!! Jax is a great guide, with a contagious good mood. You get a chance to se some hiden spots, quite cool. I simple recomend it, its a must do in Munchen!

  • 5/5 Francesca S. 2 years ago on Google
    The free Walking tour with Jax in Munich was one of the best I've done so far! He is an amazing story-teller and you can really see his passion for history and for Munich. He shared a lot of interesting anecdotes that we would not have known otherwise, and showed us many cool less touristy places along the way. The pace was perfect and we got to see a lot of the Munich city center. At the end of the tour, he shared a useful list of recommendations for places to see and try out in Munich - thank you!! Would definitely recommend booking with Jax 😊

  • 5/5 Mary N. 11 months ago on Google
    You just won’t regret this tour. I did it on the first day and then spent the rest of my stay noticing details of the city Jax had explained to us . ( and noticing other tourist completely miss things as they blindly walked past ) Great storyteller , great info and ending up at the food market . Plus we all left with loads of tips and ideas for the rest of our stay ! Brilliant

  • 5/5 Hope P. 11 months ago on Google
    A great tour with Patrick! Covered a lot of ground in the Old Town and learned a lot of fun facts. Timed well so that I could catch the Glockenspiel at the end

  • 5/5 Alison P. 8 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    I highly recommend this tour. Jax clearly loves this city and it showed in his deliverance of the tour. He is knowledgeable and informative; sharing lots of interesting historical facts that we would not have found out otherwise. He is also a great storyteller and very engaging from start to finish. All in all, very well thought out and delivered from start to finish. We only had one full day in this extraordinary city, but we got the most out of it thanks to Jax. We will return…
