Culture Shock Rating

We have a wide range of tours designed to give you an insight into the destination you're travelling in and there is something for everybody. The culture shock ratings considers the destination visited, transport used, activities undertaken and that "Wow, I'm really not at home now!" factor. While generalisations are always tricky, a summary of our gradings is as follows…

This is the least confronting of our tour range. Transport used on the trip is either private or a very comfortable public option, the activities included are usually iconic sites and locations that are not all too confronting.

The tour can include a mix of private and public transport providing a level of comfort that is slightly below what you would experience at home. Sites visited are usually iconic sites, tours can also include market visits, visits to communities etc that provide the traveller with a fantastic insight into destination.

Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether it's a packed public bus where you are forced to stand, a visit to a local market, a local community, you are sure to have an experience that is very different from what you're used to at home.

The comforts of your home town and the environment you are used to are more of a rarity. Expect some challenging transport options, visits to local sites and areas that don't resemble anything at home.

You're out there in the global community! You are likely to be exposed to the elements, travel in whatever means of transport is available and basically take it as it comes, whatever comes! It can be tough.

Physical Rating

Our physical rating gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour. While generalisations are always tricky, a summary of our gradings is as follows…

These tours have very limited physical activity. Usually climbing in and out of the transport provided, walking through sites, markets etc included in the itinerary.

These tours have a bit of physical activity but nothing that should challenge you too much. This could be climbing on and off public transport through to a walk through the destination you're travelling in, they can include walking only tours or a combination of walking and transport.

These tours involve a bit of physical activity from walking up and down hills in the destination you're travelling in or the surrounding areas. Climbing on and off local transport or riding a bike up to 30 kms along predominantly flat terrain or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.

These Tours will provide you with some solid physical activity. Whether its bike riding, walking, trekking, kayaking or riding on public transport you will need to have a good level of fitness to enjoy this tour.

Be prepared for some serious physical activity. These tours are our most challenging and involve some serious walking, hiking or bike riding. Can involve step climbs by foot or pedal and some challenging public transport options in the destination you are travelling.

Luxury Rating

Some trips are like a stroll on the beach, while others have you trekking alpine passes. Some of you thrive on camping out on the savannah, while others may prefer a hot shower and a comfortable bed in a lodge. Follow the grading systems below to find the right trip for you.

To help you choose the trip that's right for you, we've broken all of our trips down into four service levels. Measuring the comfort level of the accommodation and transport. So whether you're travelling on a budget and want to save money by using public transport, or prefer upgraded accommodation and are happy to pay a little more, then we have a level for you.

“A lot of fun with a great guide! Our guide was wonderful. She was funny, informative and had great interaction with the group. We even heard from others that took her tour on different days tell us how much they enjoyed this fun little adventure.”

Felix, July 2023

“What a wonderful afternoon in Munich! Katrina is an excellent tour guide and so much fun! She treated us to a great time of visiting bars off the beaten path and experiencing beers and schnapps we hadn't had yet during our stay in Munich. We even got to have some local favorite foods along the way. We all highly recommend this tour and are still talking about how much fun we had that day!”

Leslie, July 2023

“Must do - especially if you are a foodie! The tour director was extremely personable and allowed you to feel like you are getting an authentic local experience. I wish I would have gone to this at the very beginning of the trip because she gives you so many good recommendations about the local restaurants based on what you are looking for, and not only provides you with local dishes, but teaches you about them. It is evident that she has made personal relationships with a lot of the restaurant employees and owners so it felt like we got an “in” and were treated in a way that most people wouldn’t normally get to experience. I went solo and the tour director made me completely feel a part of the group as well as the others that were a part of the tour. I left full, buzzed, and happy so all my expectations were exceeded!”

Dark Tourism: Munich’s Darkest and Weirdest Places You Can Actually Visit

Munich has a reputation for being a wealthy and somewhat snobby city. Germans from other parts of the country despise the place, mostly because secretly they are desperate to live here. The city is not grungy and falling apart like Berlin, or a bit rough round the edges like Cologne, but if you know where to look there is a little bit of dark and weird to be found. Here are our best dark tourism tips for Munich.

Deutsches jagd und fischereimuseum.

The German Museum of Hunting and Fishing is not for those with a delicate stomach. Rows of taxidermied animal heads and displays packed full of hybrid creatures like the Wolpertinger – which is a small, mythological mammal like a rabbit or squirrel to which wings, antlers, tails, and fangs from other animals have been attached – make for quite the viewing. It’s a bit of shrine to hunting and its attendant traditions, which is fitting since the museum is housed in a 13th century church.

Deutsches Jagd und Fischereimuseum, Neuhauser Straße 2, Munich, Germany , +49 89 220 522

Krampus Run

In Europe, Saint Nicholas has many terrifying assistants. Dutch Zwart Piet , Swiss Schmutzli , and North German Knecht Ruprecht all have the job of accompanying Saint Nicholas on his journey and punishing disobedient children. In the Alps of Bavaria, Austria and Italy, bad Santa is known as Krampus, a half devil, half goat that terrorises naughty children.

During the first week of December in Munich, and also in several mountain towns and villages, there is a Krampus Run where up to 300 young men don elaborate Krampus costumes and run screaming though the Christmas markets shaking chains. The costumes cost anywhere from €1,800–€2,500 and weigh up to 10 kilos. Certainly a sight you won’t forget in a hurry.

About 25 minutes outside of Munich on the S2 line, you can find the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site. Opened in 1933 as a camp for political prisoners, Dachau went on to serve as the model for all later concentration camps and training ground for the SS. Around 41,500 of the 200,000 prisoners detained in the 12 years the camp existed were murdered. Entrance is free and a self-guided tour takes about half a day. Guided tours last two-and-a-half hours and cost €3 per person. Audio-guide tours cost €3.50

Hitler’s Munich Tour

Most of the buildings Hitler frequented during his time in Munich have been destroyed to prevent Neo-Nazis from making the sites a sort of relic or monument. Nevertheless, a guided tour of the Hofbräuhaus, where the first Nazi mass meeting took place, the failed power grab at the Feldherrnhalle, the party rallies at Königsplatz, and the importance of the Hofgarten to the White Rose resistance movement all really helps to map what’s in the history book onto real life places. Tour is daily at 10.15am, lasts two-and-a-half hours and costs €15.

Scary Munich Tour

Every town has its ghosts. To find out where the ones in Munich hang out, take a nighttime guided tour of haunted Munich. Explore dark alleys and the haunted town square by lantern light, and hear stories about murder, executions, witch burning, and all sorts of other mysteries. The tour starts in front of the Frauenkirche. Reservations required .

Munich Ghost Tour

Every Saturday at 8pm from April to December, gravedigger Joseph Grundlgruber takes tourists who are brave enough to meet the doomed Radish Woman, investigate haunted houses, witness a bizarre graveyard encounter, and have an encounter with the Black Lady at Promenadeplatz. Meeting point: Sendlinger Tor; Cost: €24.

Walpurgis Night Tour

In Munich, spring is welcomed through the medium of fire, magic, and ancient ritual. Witches gather to worship the devil in remote places in wild dances on May 1. Or do they? A wise woman in white awaits at the Isartor and you accompany her into the Westenriederstraße for a purification ritual at the old city wall. Later, at Trinity Square, a woman is desperately looking for something at the cemetery and is assisted by a hangman. Also, a lot of things are set on fire. Hear gruesome stories about historical witches on a Walpurgis Night Tour .

Ghost Walking Tour

Experience the atrocities of the dark ages.

Looking for the dark side of Munich? The ghost walking tour will send shivers down your spine.

As you can imagine we usually don't take a walking tour in Munich :-) But this one is different, very different.

Your Guide Gravedigger Josef

The two hour Ghost walking tour features a guide and several actors, who play scenes from the medieval past of Munich. Spooky and terrifying scenes I may add. It is not for the faint of heart

We met at 8 pm at Sendlinger Tor. The tour has to be at night, because otherwise you won't see any haunted spirits, right? We had expected to be met by a nice and tidy tour guide, but no! No one less than Gravedigger Josef Grundlgruber personally (in his rugged and dirty attire) met to greet us.

After we recovered from the first shock and found out that Josef looks quite scary but actually is a really nice guy who knows his way around in Munich (and has a shovel to protect us against evil beings), we decided to stay with him for the Munich tour.

I can tell you, that was only the first scary moment and there was a lot more to come.....

Our guide Josef led us through little known and narrow alleys where we could already feel the spooky atmosphere and hear the ghosts whispering behind us. Thank God, we were in a group of at least 10 persons and my husband was with me. (He will laugh if he reads this, but I held onto his hand just because it felt much safer...)

Cruel Methods Against the Black Death

We just had passed an old house when suddenly a window opened and a poor woman started screaming. She was completely healthy, but had been bricked inside with dozens of people dying from the Black Death. Nobody was to let her out because of fear she would spread this deadly disease.

She begged us to at least send some food and water inside with a bucket. What a shocking experience!

Ghosts on the Graveyard

Gravedigger Josef hurried us onwards to the next ghostly scene: The graveyard of the Frauenkirche cathedral. Why on earth did I agree to participate in this tour? Wouldn't I know better than to visit a graveyard at night?

Guess what happened next: two very bizarre persons appeared out of the nowhere and started arguing about what places on the cemetery are more comfortable living places than others.... thankfully they didn't seem to notice us and I was very relieved when we left that place and moved on to some better lit areas.

Our guide mentioned, that during medieval times there was no such thing as street lighting and the only light you had was the little lantern in your hand. Therefore people wouldn't go outside after dark if at all possible.

Tortured by the Iron Maiden

But the scariest place was yet to come: the Jungfernturm (Tower of the Iron Maiden). This was a very cruel torturing instrument: an iron woman statue with thorns inside. The poor victims were put inside and the door closed. This way they were pricked to death and it's said that you could hear their cries for days and even nowadays you can hear them at night during witching hour.

I was quite happy, when our tour ended and decided to stay in the brightly lit areas of modern Munich.

The ghost walking tour with theatrical scenes was a fantastic, yet scary experience.

Dress for the Occasion

How to book the munich tour.

It's offered by Weisser Stadtvogel and you can book it here: Ghost Walking Tour Munich . I believe the guide can translate for you what he explains, but the theatrical scenes will only be in German.
