I booked the On-Off Bus for my grandson and myself. I choose this particular tour because it offered two routes, one going a bit out of town to the BMW Museum and the Olympic Park, both of which were of interest to us. We also took advantage of the intown route. The audio provided a good description of the buildings and areas we passed. I find Hop on Hop Off busses a plus in every new city I visit, and this did not disappoint. My only issue was that we missed the first bus trying to find out where we should be. Another tour we took which picked up at the same spot provided a google map location. This would be helpful.

It was an excellent experience. Our tour guide(Wolfgang) was extremely knowledgeable and helpful Thru out the tour. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.

I had a bus all to myself sometimes. The headset information was very interesting. Sometimes I think the timing of the bus and information became disjointed.

An excellent way to see the highlights of Munich! While we didn’t go into every stop, we had a great time.

Well organised, friendly guide and interesting spots and routes.
