Munich Bike Tour Reviews

1. Munich: Bike Tour with Beer Garden Break

I knew we had to start things off with one of my favorite tours: the Munich: Bike Tour with Beer Garden Break! This 4-hour experience will take you through beautiful architecture, dark history, lots of great beer and snacks, art, and much more. If it’s your first time in the city, I highly recommend checking this one out first.

If there’s one thing Germans love, it’s beer – but also biking – at least, in my experience! This tour combines both in a seamless itinerary with a professional, fun local guide there to lead the way through main landmarks and some hidden gems.

If you’re not only interested in learning about the local foodie scene but also in history and architecture, this excursion should be on your list.

I noticed it rains quite a bit in Munich, so if the weather isn’t perfectly clear and sunny, they will even provide you with ponchos and jackets – they really do think of everything. After getting our bikes and helmets, we set off to the streets of Munich through the older and more modern neighborhoods.

Along the way, your guide will tell you all about the turbulent history of the area and other interesting stories that you wouldn’t learn about in books.

Of course, a significant portion of your excursion involves relaxing in the famed English Gardens, where you’ll sip on fantastic German beer, some snacks, and enjoy great company. With great pacing, plenty of stops for photo ops, and storytelling, you’re in for a fantastic time!

2. Munich Small-Group Bike Tour

If you’re curious to experience Munich in a unique and interesting way, the Munich Small-Group Bike Tour is an excellent choice. You’ll be led by an expert guide through the city’s layered history, rich culture, and beautiful landscapes (both manmade and natural).

This 3-hour excursion takes you to some typical tourist spots as well as far off the beaten path, for more immersive exploration of hidden gems. Kicking off from the city center, and with many different start times available, it’s easy to reach, no matter where you’re staying in the city.

Our guide was so much fun, and helped get us set up with our rental bikes and helmets before setting to the streets. We had a couple of kids in our group, and our guide immediately proved that they were more than ready to keep everyone entertained, no matter the age or background.

Our guide’s love of history was absolutely contagious, sharing not only general facts but diving deeper, offering insight and knowledge that the average person definitely wouldn’t be aware of. As we traveled through beautiful green spaces, stunning plazas, along the rivers and through medieval alleys, we were gifted top-notch storytelling all relating back to our environment.

We made plenty of stops at significant landmarks like Marienplatz, Odeonsplatz, Englischer Garten, and more – along with a stop for a fantastic German beer in a biergarten! Our group size was quite small, which felt like a friend group I’d known forever, rather than strangers I’d barely known for more than a few hours!

3. Munich: Classic Guided City Tour by Bike

Munich is one of the most stunning, history-rich cities in all of Europe, and this next tour is a charming, exquisite way to experience it without barriers. The Munich: Classic Guided City Tour by Bike gets you out into the fresh air to enjoy the magnificent sights and stories (as well as some less than magnificent) uncovered here.

This leisurely excursion is perfect if it’s your first time in the city, giving you a great overview of what makes the city so unique as well as some ideas for later in your trip. I actually thought that we were just going to do a run of the typical tourist sights, but I have to say I felt we saw nearly everything in these few hours!

Our guide was from Munich and clearly knew the city like the back of his hand, offering amazing anecdotes and historical knowledge to keep us entertained and further enrich the experience. We started off at Marienplatz 15, which is right next to the Toy Museum, which we covered first.

Touring by bike was so refreshing and a great way to explore, as you’re not experiencing it from a distance, like you would by vehicle. You’ll soak in all the sights and sounds like a local would, all while learning a ton of information.

Having lunch at the biergarten in the Chinese Tower was the highlight for me, relaxing and enjoying an amazing lunch while watching the surfers on the Isar River – a truly unique experience! Throughout, you can expect to see iconic squares, breathtaking architecture, lovely natural landscapes, and so much more!

4. Munich 3-Hour Guided Bike Tour

If you ask me, Munich is one of the most underrated cities in the world in terms of culture, history, and overall beauty. The Munich 3-Hour Guided Bike Tour actually does it justice, covering a wide range of cultural and historical topics that go far beyond what you’d expect.

If you think this magnificent place is just drinking beer and eating sausages (I mean, it’s that, too!), you’re about to be in for a welcome awakening. Even though this tour lasts around 3.5 hours, it was amazing to me just how much ground and different areas of the city we covered.

If you’re at all into beer but don’t want to go all-out and deal with the crowds around Oktoberfest, this is a fantastic alternative. With it being such a safe city for tourists, going about your sightseeing on bike with a professional local guide is the perfect way to do it.

After meeting with your guide and getting your bike rental and helmet, you’ll set off through Marienplatz, which is right in the center of the stunning Old Town. Here, our guide regaled us with fascinating historical and cultural commentary, seeing the Old Town Hall, New Town Hall, and much more.

We learned all about the former royalty, electors, and saw the Munich Residenz, taking in the beautiful Maximilianstrasse sights. My favorite part was heading to the famous Hofbräuhaus beer hall, sitting down to enjoy a refreshing German beer, and fueling up before continuing on along the Isar River.

After, our guide gave us plenty of great recommendations for things to do and restaurants, which only made our trip that much more exciting!

5. Munich Private City Bike Tour and English Garden

Last but certainly not least, is the Munich Private City Bike Tour and English Garden experience. If you’re hesitant to do a group tour with strangers, this is the perfect solution – it’s all you and whoever else you’re traveling with.

It almost feels like a longtime close friend who happens to be a local expert in all things “Munich” is there, leading you on a VIP cycling journey around the city. What’s so great (amongst other things) about this tour is that it utilizes the old medieval streets that focus on pedestrian use, making it super safe and easy to bike around on.

If you aren’t 100% comfortable with your cycling skills or haven’t been on a bike in a while, it’s an easy way to get back in the saddle. There’s a reason why Munich is known as the cycling capital of the country, with nearly 80% of locals owning a bike!

Meet up with your guide and get your rental bike, starting off by following your guide through Königsplatz, where you’ll learn about and admire the neo-classicist architecture. You’ll also see and learn about other famous squares, such as Odeonsplatz and Marienplatz, which have been the central meeting point of Munich since 1158!

As you can imagine, there are quite literally endless stories to learn about these special spots. Then, pedal through the continent’s largest city park, taking in the fresh air before arriving at the renowned Chinese Tower beer garden to break for German beer and snacks.

Whether you’re into history about WWII and the Holocaust, natural history, or just want to learn more about Munich, this tour is for you!
