Munich: Bike Tour with Beer Garden Break

4.Bike Tour with Beer Garden Break

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 391 reviews · 4 hours · from $47

Ride through Munich with an English-speaking guide such as Karl, Rob, or Canaan, stopping at major sights, Nazi-era sites, the Isar, and the Eisbach surfers. The mostly flat route suits casual cyclists, and the 40-minute English Garden stop includes time for beer and regional food, though you pay for refreshments separately.

“The bike tour is rain or shine, and I was pleased to see that most people arrived for the tour suitably prepared for the predicted rain. Hose who were not were able to buy rain ponchos in the shop before the tour. The bikes were very easy to ride with all-terrain tires and had good rear splash guards to keep dry. This was not a “normal” tour as our guide let us decide how many stops to make due to the rain, and we ended up cutting the tour short to get back early to dry off, warm up and go to lunch a bit early instead of biking through…”

Join an English-speaking guide such as Layla, Sam, Dani, or Patrick for a four-hour Munich beer crawl. Visit up to three beer halls or gardens, learn local beer and city history, and receive 1.5 litres of beer. Expect a social, pub-crawl atmosphere rather than a formal brewery tour.

“The tour was amazing, from our guide to the beer to the destinations. Juan (our guide) gave a well-informed tour and was able to answer every question. This was more of a tour than a chance to experience the culture and have lovely conversations with other travelers. While getting to try some of Munich’s most famous beer, you get to learn a bit of history about Munich and meet lovely people. 100% would recommend!”
