“If you want to see the "Highlights of Germany", this is the tour! Agnes, our tour director, and Raf, our bus driver, made this tour even better! No other tour company offers this German experience. Never a bad moment for the whole 12 days! From the German culture to the war's devastation to the restoration of the cities, from the Cold War to the reunification, from the cathedrals to the ancient towns like Rothenburg. Best tour we've ever taken!”
- Randolph, Best of Germany
“We enjoyed the variety of activities - from the bus tours, the boat ride, to the high speed train ride. The different locations and excursions were both beautiful and educational at the same time. We were impressed with the depth of knowledge our guide shared with us throughout the entire journey! In addition, our coach driver was top notch and made us feel very safe on our journey!”

What to pack for a tour in Munich
Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.
The best time for Munich tours is late spring (May–June) and early fall (September–October). Weather is pleasant, crowds are lighter than summer, and autumn trips to Munich often coincide with Oktoberfest.
Munich has four distinct seasons. Winters can dip below freezing with snow, while summers are warm, averaging 75°F (24°C). If you travel to Munich in spring or fall, expect mild days and cool evenings — ideal for sightseeing.
Like the rest of Germany, Munich uses the Euro (€). Credit cards are accepted, though some smaller restaurants and shops prefer cash. Carrying euros is useful for day-to-day expenses on Munich trips.
Munich, and all of Germany, uses 230V supply with type C and F plugs. Travellers from the US, UK, or Australia will need a universal adapter to charge devices during their Munich holiday.
Tipping in Munich is customary but modest. Round up the bill at cafés or leave 5–10% in restaurants. On guided tours in Munich, it’s polite to tip drivers and guides if you feel they’ve enhanced your trip.
Most travellers spend 2–3 days on a trip to Munich, which is enough to explore Marienplatz, the Residenz, and the English Garden. Many Munich tours also include day trips to Neuschwanstein Castle or Salzburg, which merit extra time.
Free attractions on Munich trips include strolling the English Garden, people-watching in Marienplatz, and exploring Viktualienmarkt’s lively stalls. Many churches, like St. Peter’s, also welcome visitors without an entry fee.
We highly recommend guests purchase travel insurance prior to your trip. Please ensure you add the details of your insurance to the MyTrafalgar portal. Your insurance should cover trip interruption, personal injury, medical expenses, and evacuation and repatriation cover including during pandemic events.
