2024 is over and what a year it was for Heart of Munich tours.
We are at almost 600 reviews on google at 5⭐️’s.
On Tripadvisor, we are currently rated 2nd of 370 for tours in Munich. Amazing! 5⭐️’s as well.
Now, I didn’t think we would be busier than 2023, as it was the first full tourism year after covid but somehow we were a bit busier. We trialed two guides on some Saturday mornings and ran more free tours during Oktoberfest and during the Xmas markets, all with great success! 🙏
In 2025, one of my guides Peter will be leaving 🥲 and although he’s only been with us just 1.5 years, he did a fantastic job! Anyone who took his tours, knows how passionate he was as a Bavarian local and had a great storytelling style. To replace him, I am currently training another local, so look out for him later in the year 😄.
In 2024, we discontinued the Private Neuschwanstein Castle tour but will replace it with a new group tour this year, so watch this space! 🤔
Last year we were invited to join the ‘Free tour community’, a not-for-profit organisation where you can book with local independent free tour companies. The idea is to promote each other and have a space where tourists can book directly, which cuts out the middle men. Companies like guruwalk and freetour.com are actually marketing companies and charge us a lot of money per person that we get through their websites. So, we are trying to slowly become more self sufficient.
SO, If you want to only support companies like mine directly, then head over to freetourcommunity.com.
To anyone who joined our tours or recommended us to others in 2024, thank you! Myself and my small team of guides are very grateful to be able to do what we love on a daily basis.
Good luck for 2025 and I’ll see you in Munich!
