Awesome Munich Tour

Ozzy is an absolute superstar tour guide in Munich! He is super funny, knows every cool historical fact, and seems to be friends with everyone in the city. He made our trip unforgettable and fun from start to finish.

The guide was clearly...

The guide was clearly very knowledgeable, passionate, and confident in what he does, and the tour itself had a very relaxed, informal atmosphere. He shared a lot of interesting thoughts and perspectives, particularly about life, people, and how we approach the world. That said, the experience wasn’t quite what I personally expected from a sightseeing tour in Munich. I was hoping to learn more about the history, significance, and stories behind the places we visited. Instead, a considerable amount of the tour focused on broader reflections about life and how one should live. While many of these points were thoughtful and made sense, I had travelled to Munich primarily to discover more about the city and its history rather than receive life advice. The tour is also very laid-back and spontaneous, including when it comes to timing, so I would recommend allowing plenty of extra time and not scheduling anything too closely afterwards. If you enjoy an unconventional, philosophical and very informal style of touring, you may really appreciate this experience. Overall, it was an interesting experience and the guide certainly has personality and passion, but the style simply wasn’t my cup of tea. Personally, I would have preferred more historical depth, more focus on the places we were visiting, and a little more structure. I’m glad I experienced it, but I probably wouldn’t choose this particular style of tour again.

Ozzy is the best

A tour with Ozzy should be mandatory for any new visitor to Munich. It was insightful and he truly cares about your experience. I got stung by a bee and he pulled out the stinger. Thank you, Ozzy. We had a fantastic time!
