    We love bike tours and we have used this company in other cities. The Munich branch was just as awesome. We rode around for 4 hours and Mark our guide was amazing. Teaching us about this beautiful city and its history. We enjoyed a nice visit to a beer garden as well and enjoyed refreshments and food here. Plenty of time for photos and questions as well. Very well priced. An excellent evening.

    This is our third ride with Fat Tire Tours and I believe it’s now our favorite for two reasons. 1: the stop for a meal at a beer garden. 2. Dan, our guide. Don’t get me wrong, our other guides with this company were fantastic, but Dan made the history so digestible and relatable with his wit and animated personality. I highly recommend this tour as a great way to see a lot of the city in a short amount of time and it sure beats walking!

    Our guide Rob made our visit in Munich amazing! He for sure knows his stuff! I specially loved how they laid out the route, making the busy part of town the last. This is a great way to see Munich!

    One of the best tours we have ever done - excellent experience. Dan was our tour guide and he was great - so informative and such passion for showing the city. It was really interesting introducing history of Munich and the city in present. And he is funny too! 😄 Thank you for having us, and we send greetings to Dan's mom and we hope that this review will be hanged on Dan's mom wall! 😃 Mirna and Matej from Croatia!!

    What a nice afternoon with Dan riding through München. During more than 4 hours we discovered the city’s culture and history (and even surfing spots 🏄‍♀️) while enjoying a very nice bike ride under the sun. Thanks again Dan for your kindness and all the things you shared! We will never see Munich the same way!

    Bassti is our new bestie. He’s a terrific tour guide and took the time to answer our questions—my family and I had a lot of questions. Highly recommend this tour of Munich! We had a lot of fun and saw some wonderful areas of Munich. Bikes are the way to go.

    We had been traveling through Germany for approx. 3 weeks before stumbling upon the opportunity for a Fat Tire bike tour in Munich. I initially had some concern as to whether I would be able to keep up but the bikes were in good condition and the seats were adjustable to suit height. The pace of the tour was relaxed and the information was appropriately detailed. The tour gave us the confidence to explore Munich on our own on the days that we had remaining. It was great to be able to look at monuments and buildings and recall details from the tour.

    Had an amazing tour with Canaan. Since it is off-season right now, we had a tiny group and we were able to ask him about anything and see a lot in the tour. Truly the best way to see the city and learn about it's history.

    Rob, our guide was fantastic - learned so much, and he was also fun, very professional. The day went so smoothly, he cared about our safety and we hit all the top spots. Had lunch in the Beer Garden in the park too. Bikes are in top shape, easy to ride. Highly recommend them!

    The perfect combination storyteller and drinking buddy. Mark was amazing. He gave us the best kickstart to Oktoberfest. Great team, great beer, and loads of new friends.

    My husband and I did a tour with Karl in Munich and we had a fantastic time!! The information provided by Karl was interesting and engaging. We enjoyed the great stop at the Biergarten and Karl was happy to give us lots of other recommendations for our time in Munich! Would definitely recommend for your time in Munich :)

  • 5/5 Richard H. 9 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    Excellent tour by Rob. Full of information and history. Our tour was best part of 4 hours so good value for money. The bikes are big, sturdy and easy to ride so inexperienced riders shouldn’t be put off. While Munich has a long history, the best parts for us were the history of the Nazis in Bavaria. The surfers in the park as well. Inside the cathedral was great too, so we were happy Rob made the time for us to pop inside. Highly recommended.

    OCT 2023 I was in Group 1/2 for Munich bike tour with YouTube's "The History Guy", our city bike tour guide was Canaan, who was tremendous with our older crowd - several of us had not been on a bike for 20+ years. Canaan provided local insights and historical delights about so many sites, it was impressive - and since we were with "The History Guy", there were some very collaborative historical conversations shared with the group! The lunch break at the beer garden in English Gardens was terrific, and timed just right at about 2 hours into the tour, which overall took about 4 hours, and was a little over 6 miles. After the tour, Canaan stuck around to answer questions we had about the area, spots for dinner, etc. with grace and recommended great places! When I get the chance to go back to Munich, I look forward to going to the Fat Tire Tour shop to see if I can reunite with Canaan again!

    What an amazing experience. My Husband and I did the Munich Fat Tire Bike Tour on our European Honeymoon in November. This was my third time doing a Fat Tire Bike Tour (I have done Paris and Barcelona before) and my husband's first time. We both had a blast and the tour guides are hoenstly what makes the tours so much fun. Rob our tour guide was entertaining and very informative. He new a lot about the history of Munich and showed us around the most notable parts of the city.The bikes were all named, which added an element of fun to picking out your bike and they provided gloves for everyone because of the cold. We started off at the wittelsbacherbrunnen (which was unfortunately covered to protect it from the winter freeze) and learned about the drinking water supply of the city. Then we moved onto Karolineplatz where we first started to getting into the about Hitler and the beginning of the Munich Putsch. We moved onto the greek museum and infamous Propylaea seen in so many WWII propoganda photos. We saw the Nazi headquarters, which is now a school of music, where the Munich Agreement was signed. We passed by the egyptian museum and saw the modern art museum and the UFO house. Then we headed towards the Residence Palace where we were able to go into the beautiful Theatinerkirch, a church built by Theresa of Bavaria after her child was born. We headed to the Christmas Market located within the Residence Palace courtyard. It was absolutely amazing and our first taste of a Christmas Market. We got our first taste of hot Gluwhein, which was perfect after a cold bike ride. We also tried one of the delicious pork and onion sanwiches and and Apfelkuckle (Apple Cake). Dan, another guide from the fat tire bike tour company had met us there and had his first try of eggnog, which tasted very different from Eggnog in the U.S.. We got to chat with Dan and Rob and get some of their backstory and how they ended up in Germany. They were very friendly! After we all ate, we went to the glass government building and the tomb of the unknown soldier . We passed by the American Embassy and saw part of the Berlin wall. We then headed on a ride through the English Gardens and saw the famous surfers. It was very interesting and seemed quite dangerous. We rode past some Ancient Roman ruins that they found while doing construction work in the city. We rode towards the Munich and Jewish Museum and got a brief history on that. Finally, we made it back to the bike shop where Dan had some hot Gluwhein waiting for us. We stayed a bit after chatting with Rob, Dan, and some of the group. Rob gave us all sorts of suggestions on sites to see, places to eat, and beer gardens to go to. Rob and Dan were absolutely amazing and if I make it back to Munich, I will sign up for it again!

    Rob was such a great tour guide! We learned a ton, he kept things interesting and on track, very engaging and personable. Highly recommend the bike tour as a way to explore the beauty and history of Munich.

  • 5/5 Holly R. 8 months ago on Google
    We booked an Oktoberfest tour for last week and could not have been happier with the experience. We arrived a bit late due to our river cruise not docking in time, but Dan could not have been nicer and personally escorted us to the festival grounds and helped us find our tour group. We then had seated table reservations, led by our tour guide Basti, who also simply could not have been nicer or more fun and informative. We definitely had an amazing bucket list afternoon thanks to both of them. If we are in Munich again, we will most definitely take at least one Fat Tire tour again. Prost!

  • 5/5 Lex E. 11 months ago on Google
    We had a wonderful experience on our tour. Our guide, Dan, was superb. A good mix of history and fun information. We covered a good bit of ground to see all of the sites. I highly recommend Fat Tire Tours.

  • 5/5 Ben C. 10 months ago on Google
    We had the pleasure of taking this tour today with our wonderful host Rob. He showed us all around Munich whilst explaining the fascinating history in an informative but informal way. We would highly recommend this to any visitors.

  • 5/5 Galvin K. 10 months ago on Google
    Rob from South Africa was our tour guide. We had stops ever 5-10 minutes where he would share interesting historical and cultural points with deep knowledge and well balanced humor. He also clearly had the safety of our kids (ages 10 and 14) in mind throughout the trip. I’ve done Fat Tire tours in Paris and London also. They have mastered the inner city bike tour. I highly recommend Rob and Fat Tire.

  • 5/5 Erin C. 10 months ago on Google
    Celine, you were a WONDERFUL tour guide today!! We had a blast - thank you for giving us so many ideas of how to enjoy our time in Munich this coming week! Servus!! 🍻

  • 5/5 Whitney M. 10 months ago on Google
    Mark was our guide and did a phenomenal job explaining the history of Munich, WWI and WW2, and an overview of German history. The ride was easy and scenic. We were going to do a hop on hop off bus tour, but after this bike tour felt like we had checked that box for sightseeing. Highly recommend this tour group for bike tours!

  • 5/5 Monica S. 10 months ago on Google
    We did 4 Fat Tire Tours throughout different cities in our summer trip and all of them were great. Their guides are very knowledgeable, they’re very organized and there’s simply no better way to see the sights and learn from them than on a bicycle. The healthy workout and fresh air is the cherry on top. 100% recommended!

  • 5/5 jacquelyn h. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing bike tour!! Staff was helpful and friendly! Tour guide Rob is knowledgeable and fun entertaining guide, so enjoyable for my whole family. We saw variety of things and even living in Munich for few months I learn so much more! Highly recommend this tour and Rob is the best! Thanks for great experience.

  • 5/5 Kim P. 9 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    This is absolutely the best way to view the city! We only had an afternoon and decided to try the Segway 3 hour tour of Munich. Wow, the experience can’t be matched! Rob was awesome, so engaging and knowledgeable - we saw and learned things we’d never have got to on our own. Would definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Morgan H. 8 months ago on Google
    Dan was great a tour guide! Very knowledge about the history but kept it fun and entertaining. Took us to a lot of great spots in Munich and a great bier garden! I would recommend him and this tour!

  • 5/5 Devin K. 9 months ago on Google
    We booked a private bike tour with Fat Tires Tours Munich in August 2023. Our group consisted of two families, 4 adults and 5 kids ages 2 to 8, one family visiting and another starting their new lives as Munich residents. We used all of the kid bike types - baby seat, toddler trailer, kid's tandem, and kid's bike, and it was great having those options. Our tour guide, Rob, was fantastic! He kept it interesting and fun for the adults and children, and made sure we were all OK before discussing some of the darker history of Munich. When our kids got hungry before the scheduled lunch stop, we changed course and made the lunch stop to keep the group happy! The flexibility of a private tour is why we decided to book it. I would recommend the Fat Tire Tours Munich to anyone visiting Munich.

  • 5/5 Lydia D. 8 months ago on Google
    Rob was amazing showing us around the beautiful city of Munich. Very fun, knowledgeable and funny! We will definitely be using Fat Tire Tours when we visit another city! Giving the long time on the tour we were definitely glued in the entire time. Would give ten stars 🌟

  • 5/5 Nicholas M. 8 months ago on Google
    We went on the bike tour with Canaan as our guide on our first morning in München. It was a great way to start our trip. In 4 hours we were able to see a lot of cool and interesting places throughout Münchens inner city. Canaan was very knowledgeable and gave a great experience. He knows his history very well and i definitely would recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about the city or find some cool places to check out more in-depth while you are in München.

  • 5/5 Barbara L. 1 year ago on Google
    We joined a bike tour this past week with Dan as our guide. It was a fun, interesting experience. Dan was quite knowledgeable about the history of Munich giving many little known tidbits of information. It was a fairly easy ride with many stops to take photos and discuss the city's history. Highlights included a beer garden lunch and watching the surfers in the English Garden. I highly recommend Dan's tour if you find yourself in Munich. Better to do it on your first day to get a quick overview of the city.

  • 5/5 Allen M. 5 years ago on Google
    Really great company, have been in a few cities with them and they always deliver great tours. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Mohit T. 5 years ago on Google
    Brilliant and informative tour of Munich by our guide Steve-O. He gave us enough information and history without turning into a boring lesson. The segways were well maintained and we had no problem learning to use them because of Steve-O's expert guidance. The tour did not feel rushed at all and Fat Tire went above and beyond the 3.5 hour tour since we were allowed to stop at a couple of places that were not on the itinerary. Fantastic experience and a great way to end our vacation.

  • 5/5 Aniko S. 4 years ago on Google
    On arrival in Munich we walked into the shop and were greeted in a wonderfully friendly manner by Dan, he gave us a quick rundown of all he had to offer. We opted to hire two bikes for the entity of our stay (3 days) and got some advice on where to go and what to visit. The bikes were top notch, worked well and were incredibly safe, had great brakes and functioning lights. This was definitely the best way to get around this lovely city and explore on our own. Thank you fat tire and Dan for making our experience so awesome!!!

    Great tour! We hit all the major spots in Munich and learned a lot. Great way to learn about the city!

  • 5/5 JT T. 4 years ago on Google
    What a fanatic way to see Munich. Our guide was Thor - and he was awesome! We say so much of the city, took a break at the Beer Garden in the large city park, and really enjoyed the way he guided us around the sites of Munich. We had two families and 4 teenagers and we were all unanimous that this was one of the best things we did during our visit to Germany. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Chelsea T. 4 years ago on Google
    My husband and I had a great experience on our Munich bike tour. Our guide, Steve, was excellent - very engaging and knowledgable about the city. We felt safe and had a great group too. Kid friendly and very fun!

  • 5/5 Jim T. 5 years ago on Google
    We enjoyed an excellent E-bike tour today. Our guide was informative, entertaining, patient, and even enthusiastic. In about four hours of riding we got an introduction to some of what central Munich has to offer... It felt like a great orientation that will allow us to explore a bit more in depth efficiently. The bikes were well maintained and had plenty of power, making it feel like a very leisurely tour around town.

  • 5/5 Colin N. 2 years ago on Google
    Dan is the man! The bike tour was fun, informative and beautiful. Highly recommend to anyone looking to see everything Munich has to offer. Dan even helped us after the tour with how to plan the rest of our time in town. Great lad!

  • 5/5 Brian G. 2 years ago on Google
    Unfortunately our tour had to be cancelled due to numbers given restrictions pending but Dan offered us bikes & maps for free as well as a full and prompt refund. We look forward to returning in the Spring and taking a tour. Full credit to Dan for his responsive communication and help. 👍👍

    Dan was a super guide. He made history interesting. It was a fun tour and I recommend it

  • 5/5 RK 11 months ago on Google
    Took an afternoon tour guided by Fat Tire tours' Canaan last week. While Munich was an interesting part of the trip, Canaan the guide stood out. The way he shared his thorough knowledge about the history of Munich was relatable and interesting. Wish I had had history teachers that were such fantastic story tellers. I trusted his do and don't recommendations as they were given during the trip. Munich route we took is a great for a bike tour. Flat. The bike that I rode was in great mechanical condition. Strong brakes and clean shifting. Great trip for a day visit in Munich or to get acquainted for a longer trip. Even a local would learn a lot of history from Canaan. Many thanks.

  • 5/5 Dara H. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a fantastic tour with Rob. Our tour was full and he did a great job managing a large group. Rob was full of history and interesting information. In addition, the stop at the beer garden and ride through the English Garden was wonderful. All bikes were in great working order. One got a flat during the tour and the tour company had a replacement at our location very quickly. I’d highly recommend this tour to get out of the crowded tourist area and lean a bit more about Munich!

  • 5/5 K S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing Experience in Munich! Beautiful weather and interesting history. Anyone who visits Munich should try this tour. And of course our guide Rob was so nice! He explained every inch of Munich very well. (I hope i remember his name correctly.. usually I’m awful at remembering names :(

  • 5/5 Caitlin O. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m a huge fan of Fat Tire Bike tours and have done them in many locations. Our tour in Munich yesterday was outstanding. Sebastian, our guide, was funny, knowledgeable, personable and he even answered some of our questions about the German language. We saw urban surfing, stopped at a Biergarten for lunch and were still able to check out all the cultural highlights. When we returned, Sebastian mapped out other places we wanted to go to and make an outstanding dinner/beer suggestion. I highly recommend this tour - it lasts about four hours and is a great way to get an overview of Munich.

  • 5/5 Kelsey C. 1 year ago on Google
    Super fun and educational Segway tour with Rob! We did the longer tour and LOVED it!! He was incredible in his knowledge of the city, history, and just an overall terrific guide! He was very gracious in offering to take photos for us! Segways were well maintained and so fun and simple to use after he provided us with some brief training!! This tour is a must do!!!

  • 5/5 Jake 1 year ago on Google
    This bike tour was a highlight of our entire 2 week trip in Europe. Our tour guide Dan was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the area. He answered questions and provided helpful tips about the city as we biked along. We did this tour on our first day in the city and would highly recommend the same! It was great to get our bearings in a new city and we used many of Dan’s tips through the rest of our time in Munich. It gave a great high level overview of the city and was paced well. Neither of us are avid city bikers but felt very comfortable with the pace and roads we were biking on. The lunch stop was great - it was helpful to try our first biergarten with guidance and the drinks and food were delicious! Overall we highly recommend Dan and this tour!

  • 5/5 Peter W. 1 year ago on Google
    We took a bike ride with Thor through Munich, and it was great! He is very knowledgeable about the city and it’s history, and also knows some really great spots off the beaten trail. To top it off, we rode in the rain, and he was kind enough to find our group a nice cafe to take a break in and warm up. We were still able to tour the English Gardens, and it was an overall fantastic experience. Thanks for a great time Thor!

  • 5/5 Harrison L. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a fantastic tour of the city with Dan! He spoke with passion and a thorough knowledge of the art and history throughout the city. I just moved to Munich, so he also gave great information about how to live in the city. Thank you for everything!

  • 5/5 Michelle D. 11 months ago on Google
    Our guide, Rob was outstanding! That was my second fat tire tour; the first was in London, also very good! Rob made Munich really come alive. He was a gracious, enthusiastic guide with a good amount of patience and adherence to safety. His tidbits of German were helpful and his knowledge of the city, country and its history were craftily entwined in his stories about each of the several sites. The ride itself was easy as it's broken into many segments permitting you to cover so much more ground than a walking tour. That was my traveling companions first bike tour and she looks forward to another. If you can ride a bike and your planning to visit Munich, take this tour!

  • 5/5 Joe D. 11 months ago on Google
    We took the bike tour with Canaan as our guide on our first morning in Munich. It was the PERFECT way to start our trip because in 4 hours we were able to see so many important things around the city and also find out about a lot of museums and other neighborhoods we would not have found on our own. Now we have a great idea of what to do for the rest of the trip. Canaan was a great guide and he really really knows the history well and is able to share some of those important little details and context of the time periods. Would highly recommend this to anyone!
