Munich and Bavaria Tours and Tickets

Tours, tickets and day trips in Munich and across Bavaria, sold by Viator. The ones my guides recommend come first, each for a reason I have written down; the full catalog follows, sorted by type, for the days when you would rather browse than be told.

How tours are chosen here

Every tour in this section is sold and run through Viator, and the booking buttons are affiliate links: a booking may earn this site a commission at no cost to you. That is how the site pays for its hosting and its mustard. It does not decide what gets recommended, and it never will.

I am a train person. Most of Bavaria’s famous sights sit at the end of a regional line, and my guides will tell you when the Bayern-Ticket and a pair of sensible shoes are all you need. A tour earns its price when it adds something the ticket does not: a guide who knows what you are looking at, a coach to a place the train does not reach, an entry time you could not get on your own, or a day where somebody else does the planning while you look out of the window. Where that is true, I say so, and where it is not, I say that too.

Prices are shown with the date they were last checked; the current price, the dates and the fine print are always on Viator. The catalog pages repeat the operator’s own description and carry no opinion of mine; the tours I have written about say “Our take” at the top.
