Guided tours of Munich: on foot, by car or as a package
For most visitors, a guided walk is the best way to start. The highlights walk takes 3 hours and starts at Marienplatz 15.
For a group walk from Marienplatz in Munich, compare the Old Town walking tours. To see more of the city at your own pace, ride the hop-on hop-off bus.
If you would rather not walk, the private driving tour shows you 15 landmarks in about 3 hours. It passes Nymphenburg Palace but does not go inside. To go in, buy Nymphenburg Palace tickets.
Both car tours stop at BMW Welt. Entry to BMW Welt is free.
The 4-day package
The package covers your hotel, breakfast, the airport train and a day trip to Innsbruck. It is new, so it has no reviews yet.
To plan the same trip on your own, pick your own hotel in Munich and choose from our day trips from Munich.

Three of the five tours are private: one on foot and two by car. The walking tour is the cheapest, from €47 per person.
