English Garden: Tours & Tickets

Our guide was Noel and we really liked him. He was Irish so he had lots of perspective and knowledge to share. However, the conversation got to be a little long and not enough walking was done to really cover the town as intended. He also had an afternoon appt. so he kept emphasizing that our time was short and we really didn't get to see the English Garden or Chinese pagoda and biergarten that was listed.. We got a lot of knowledge but not as much ground covered as expected. All in all, enjoyable.

The tour covered historical parts of Munich (monarchy), notable events between WW1-WW2, architecture and neat hidden spots in the city. Michael set expectations from the start, gave a heads up on where our next stop would be which raised anticipation and kept the group together; nobody got lost or left behind :) Michael's passion to guide and share his love for the city came out in his tour, which made it as engaging as it was. Thanks for guiding me and my friends!

So glad I finally decided to give a bike tour a chance. Worked out wonderfully. Most likely because of our guide Kevin, but I'm sure any of the experienced guides would do a great job. Sad I waited to give it a try in the last city I visited but at least I'll know to do this whenever I travel next. As for the company I chose to do it with in Munich, Mike's Bikes, I don't know how any other provider could have done a better job!

Unfortunately on the day of our ride it rained. Our guide did everything possible to help us consider our options but the bottom line is that, rain, hail or shine, Mike’s Tours continue. People shouldn’t be required to ride in pouring rain. Also rebooking is not always an option. Roberto our guide was great.

Enjoyed the cycle route and various stops. Great to have the half hour in the beer garden though this does add another half an hour to the tour so it's more like three and a half hours which might be worth mentioning if people are doing other things afterwards.
