Lake Constance - Lake Koenigssee - Salzburg 14/13

"Setting up the tour, and the tour itself were wonderful. We had a few glitches in our plans and Paula was a great help in getting them worked out. Hotels were very good and clean, food at the hotels, excellent! That said, the bikes were NOT. Even though they were brand new, and the gearing great for what they were. However, we did this tour under our own power, no electric bikes, and were told that hybrid bikes were not available for this tour, also told we weren’t allowed to use clip-in pedals. The bikes were heavy, and we found ourselves walking and pushing them up many hills, some rocky and gravel roads, which, if we would have had a decent bike for this tour, a hybrid bike, we would most likely had an easier time of it. Not happy about the bikes! Also, the opening page of the tour says 1-99 as in years old of people that could do this tour, definitely false advertising, there is no way, even with the electric bikes, that some people could not navigate the roads on this tour. We are 2 women in our 70’s and did it, I am proud to say, we have a lot of experience, it was not easy. It could have been much more enjoyable with a different bike. Over all, a fantastic trip. Thank you." Gail, traveled in September 2023

What people love about bavaria tours.

Small tour group with an exceptionally knowledgeable guide. He knew the best places to stop for food/beer and navigated us through any queues! Such beautiful places to explore (Rothenburg & Residenz Wurzburg were a particular highlight... we would never have visited if travelling alone) Hotels were of a high quality... particularly loved the hotel in Nuremberg (facilities & breakfast were awesome) Location of all hotels were perfect. All airport transfers were on time and very professional. Tour transport was very comfortable- Mercedes Bus. We would definitely book with Indus Travel again as they responded quickly to all queries. Miller were their local supplier in Germany we can highly recommend them - a very professional service.
Wonderful time! Hotel was great, arrangements were smooth, and when complications arose (train strike), they kept in contact with me, updating me and offering alternatives. Great company.
The first real vacation we have taken in 49 years! It was fantastic. Kenneth was always great help if we had questions, answered quickly & completely. The Hotel Senator is a very nice hotel. It's small and maybe not as modern as some but very clean, the staff super friendly and the location is fantastic. We will return there in 2025. We have decided we will book with Thirsty Swagman Oktoberfest 2025. Oktoberfest was everything we hoped for and more!!

We take you to world famous cities and sites like Munich, Neuschwanstein, Nuremburg, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Salzburg, and Vienna.

CEO – Heart of Munich tours

Free Walking Tour

We are an independent tour operator.

What does this mean? It means that we do all of our own advertising and marketing. You cannot book our tours through websites like Tripadvisor, Getyourguide or Viator. If you were not aware, these companies take 20 – 25% of every booking payment!. This is not something we support in the tourism industry, as it makes it hard for small companies like us to exist amongst the big corporations. When travelling, you should try to look for and book with local tour operators when possible.

We are a small company made up of 10 guides. We are all friends and have been working in the tourism industry for many years. We are very passionate about what we do and always try to deliver the best possible tour everyday. This is why we are currently the highest rated tour company in Munich. We go for quality tours over quantity.

We also believe that everyone should get the chance to experience Munich’s wonderful old town, which is why we run free tours twice daily. Anyone can reserve and join for free and then you pay at the end what you think the tour was worth. We are also a proud member of the Free tour community, a global network of local independent tour companies all supporting each other.

The Most Walkable City In The World Is This Lively European Gem With Unique Charm

Munich skyline

Walkable cities are unfortunately rare in the United States. However, the opposite is true in Europe. In April 2024, a study conducted by The Burrow from Compare the Market, a price comparison website, named five European cities as the most walkable in the world. So, which city topped the list? That honor goes to Munich, Germany, the capital of Bavaria. Located only about an hour and half from Salzburg, Austria, it's perhaps best known for being home to the legendary Oktoberfest, a cultural celebration centered on beer. 

This destination is very much a modern city but with the aura of a Bavarian village. In fact, it's the third most populous city in Germany. Munich also happens to be one of the cheapest places to catch Taylor Swift's Eras Tour abroad . As for its remarkable walkability, The Burrow states that 86% of Munich's population is concentrated in car-free zones. Of course, this is also a bonus for tourists. For instance, Marienplatz, the historical town square, is rated as one of the best things to do in Munich on Tripadvisor. 

From Marienplatz, visitors can walk to other high-rated attractions such as the Munich Residence, an opulent palace that dates back to the 1300s, or Viktualienmarkt, a famed outdoor market, and much more. Unsurprisingly, there are several walking tours available for visitors who are keen to explore the city on foot. 

Discover Munich with a guided tour

If you're in Munich and want to visit its many stunning attractions but are unsure where to start, opt for a guided walking tour. Radius Tours offers a 2-hour excursion of Old Town, which is where visitors will find Marienplatz, Munich Residence, and Viktualienmarkt. The tour stops at these locations and more, including the Englischer Garten. Also known as the English Garden, this striking park is a must-see in Munich and is where visitors and locals can enjoy a scenic nature walk. 

That said, the Old Town walking tour is highly rated on Tripadvisor with reviewers praising Radius Tours' guides for providing historical insights and tales on Munich's landmarks. One individual stated, "The tour was wonderful, and we got to see things we would've completely missed on our own." 

Munich is equally a paradise for bikers. As noted by The Burrow, the city has 1,468,623 km of bike trails, which is the equivalent to over 912,000 miles. If you would rather explore Munich via bicycle, Radius Tours does have a bike tour. The 3 hour activity takes visitors to Old Town, the English Garden, Hofgarten, a park on the grounds of the Munich Residence, and more. Keep in mind that both the Old Town walking tour and the Munich bike tour are conducted in English.

Public transportation in Munich isn't shabby either

If you are not interested in a guided tour, you can also rent a bike for a few hours or days from Radius Tours . While walking and biking might be the best way to roam Munich and its points of interests, the city does have a public transportation system consisting of buses and trams. The MVV takes passengers throughout Munich and even to Munich Airport. With that in mind, The Burrow commended MVV for its safety. Tripadvisor reviewers also have much to say about MVV.

One individual wrote, "If you want to get around Munich relatively fast this is one of the options I recommend. MVV is there you just need to use it." Another explained, "It also means that you can stay outside Munich and travel in for dinner/theatre/exhibitions whilst also enjoying a stay in the countryside." Perhaps the only downside is that passengers can expect to pay over $4 for a single ticket. At the time of this writing, this makes it more expensive than Berlin's, Germany's capital, public transportation.

Note that tickets can be purchased online or on ticket machines found at MVV stations. Are you ready to plan a vacation to walkable Munich? Travel guru Rick Steves says to visit Germany, a must-see European country , in Spring or Fall. If you want to spend time in one of his favorite European towns in Germany, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, is less than three hours from Munich.
