Informative, interactive and customized for my family. What a treat!

If I could provide 20 stars, I would! Taff may look theatrical in his profile picture, but I assure you, this guy knows his stuff! Within 20 minutes my 2 teenagers were engaged and by the end of the tour they both reported it was the best tour they’ve ever been on. I’d happily take his tour again next time I visit Munich. It was really that good!!
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Hi, thank you for taking a moment to leave a review; I am really glad you enjoyed it so much - but especially the youngsters. When I was in school, history lessons could be so boring - so when I run these tours I try and put myself back in those shoes - and try to present history in way which is interesting and can capture the imagination. By the sound of it, this strategy worked - which really makes my day.
Many thanks,
Taff Simon :-)
Fun tour

Taff is a great storyteller. He injects humor into the stories to keep them from getting too dark. Having pictures and props was really interesting.
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Hi Allie,
thank you for your kind words; I'm really glad you enjoyed it so much. It is hard to be too serious when one is dressed like that :-)
By the way, just to reiterate, as mentioned on the tour, my main English language source for the Pappenheimer Trial is "Highroad to the Stake: A Tale of Witchcraft" by Michael Kunze (ISBN-13
978-0226462110 ).
Best,
Taff
A must book!

Our guide David (Taff) was incredibly knowledgeable and extremely skilled at bringing history and old stories to life. He had plenty of artifacts (some real and some recreated) to share with us as well as examples from his primary occupation as a local forensic archeologist. He’s also incredibly witty and easy to talk to on any subject. We took 3 tours while in Munich (third reich, Nuremberg, and macabre Middle Ages) and this tour was easily my favorite! If you’re one of those people who think a costume wearing guide won’t be knowledgeable you’ll be wrong in this case. Book it!
Brilliant Way to see Munich!

Taff was very informative and fun. He is full of interesting tales and facts. Things that you wouldn't normally read or hear about. He comes in full costume (which he explains) and with props that help you visualize some of the tales he tells. It was interesting to hear him explain the reason for some of the sculptures and monuments along the way. If you love history this is a tour for you.
Archeology, history and beer. A perfect introduction to Munich.

Touring with Taff was an utter treat. We ended up with a small tour (just my husband and myself), which turned out to be a blessing, because as Taff learned of our particular historical interests, he expanded his talking points and added in extra tidbits and details to suit our tastes. We ended up walking, learning and chatting for a full three hours, and left with a wealth of food and sightseeing recommendations for the rest of the trip. If you're an English speaker, do yourself a favour and take this tour!
A dive into past! Highly recommended.

I loved 2 aspects of this tour:
1. Guide is a walking encyclopedia and has a brilliant sense of humor, so the tour did not feel didactic, but was both informative and entertaining. Kudos for the props!
2. The majority of tours in Munich focus on WW II and the Nazi party. This tour is very special because it's entirely dedicated to medieval history, which shaped Munich and is still deeply rooted in this city's history.
Response from Host , Jan 2022
Hi Igor, thank you for taking a moment to write this review of your recent tour with me. I'm thrilled that you liked it so much. Because of the bombing in WW2, a lot of people think that apart from some churches and the Residenz, that medieval Munich can no longer be seen or detected. Hopefully, having seen it through the eyes of an archaeologist - and having sampled some medieval beers - you have a sense of how it was all those years ago.
All the best for 2022!
Best, Taff :-)
A Great Walk Back in Time

David was very knowledgeable and shared his information in a humorous and interesting way. Although I had been to Munich a number of times I learned a great deal about the city from him. He is a great story teller with props that make you feel like you have gone back in time! I highly recommend his tour. You won’t be disappointed!
Hidden gem

Totally worth it!
He is a real archaeologist that works in the city. With real coins and swords to show you.
But don't expect ghost stories.
Response from Host , Aug 2021
Hi Rosely,
glad to read that you enjoyed the tour so much. You are right - no ghost stories.. but who needs ghost stories when in addition to ancient coins and swords you have a medieval beer tasting session? (My favourite part by the way) :-)
Thanks for choosing to tour with us at Munich Macabre
Best,
Taff Simon
Excellent!

Taff was amazing! He was knowledgable and made the tour very interesting. It was a great combination of humor and history and we enjoyed the tour very much. It was interactive and we loved learning things that are not commonly known about the city and it's history. This was a fantastic way to spend a Friday night, I highly recommend this tour! You will not be disappointed!
Very Interesting

I would highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for something unique to do in Munich. The fact that the tour guide was an Archeologist made the information being presented all that more real, he gave a very, at times gory but informative, account of what Medieval Germany was like and how Munich was founded. 100% recommend anyone take this tour.

If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email.
