What To Expect

Meet and greet the tour guide and group near the main station in central Munich. There will be a brief introduction to Munich before beginning your ride around the capital city of Bavaria and one of the most popular destinations in Germany.

Because there is so much to see in Munich, this tour takes advantage of the many old pedestrianized medieval streets the city offers. With frequent stops to learn about the sites and to take pictures, it all makes for a most enjoyable way to explore this fascinating place.

Cycling in Munich accounts for 17 percent of all traffic. In fact, Munich named itself Germany's Radlhauptstadt, or bicycle capital, in the summer of 2010. Around 80 percent of its population owns a bicycle.

Ride through Königsplatz, a square built in the style of European neo-classicism in the 19th century and a center of cultural life in Munich. There’s also the large Odeonsplatz square and Marienplatz, the city’s main square since 1158.

Also, ride along Englischer Garten, Europe's largest city park and stop at the Chinese Tower beer garden (Chinesischer Turm) for a break and beverage.

Throughout the tour, the guide will provide ample information about Munich’s past and present — and maybe even offer some insight into where the city is headed in the future. It’s a great introduction to the city of Munich and all that it offers its visitors and residents alike. Your tour ends back in central Munich.

Enjoyable ride

Tom_R, May 2023

Sara was great. The English park was an enjoyable ride. Some parts of the ride were a little busy. I would recommend.

We had such a lovely...

Eliza_D, May 2023

We had such a lovely afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed cycling around the city. We stopped at various places to learn about the history and then the best bit was cycling through the gardens. The sun was out and it was beautiful. My only comment is that the tour wasn’t always that clear in terms of historical facts. I felt we could have learnt more, but overall it was good.

great way to spend a free afternoon in Munich

pennerpeggy, May 2023

we had such a great time, we saw a lot of Munich i had never seen. Helio was so much fun, and an excellent photographer, thanks for the experience

Informative tour

Janet_W, Apr 2023

Sara was a very friendly guide. The biking through the English Garden was wonderful. Seeing the historic buildings is great but seeing Munich as a green city is even nicer.

Fabulous bike tour!

Jean_S, Apr 2023

One of our best excursions during our trip to Germany. Matt was an exceptional guide - sharing a breadth of information about Munich history and current days. We covered areas of Munich that by foot we’d never have been able to see during our brief visit. Highly recommend

Fantastic and fun tour

Karey_H, Oct 2022

Our tour guide, Kevin, was so great! Kevin has a history degree so his level of knowledge was off the charts! Highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Hi Karey, thanks for the review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your tour with our guide Kevin.

Great Bike Tour of Munich

Richard_G, Oct 2022

Great bike tour of the beautiful city of Munich. Our tour guide, Mat, was a delight. He knows his German history so well and gave us a great insight to the sites around Munich. Very organized and smooth. I love bike tours of cities as it is great exercise and you get so much more than sitting on a bus.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Absolutely agreed, you get so much more out of your experience on a bike tour than sitting on a bus. Happy to hear that your experience with Mat with us at Radius Tours was so well accepted. All the best for your upcoming travels!

Eight Friends on Bikes in the Rain

James_A, Oct 2022

My seven friends and I had a great time on this bike tour despite the pouring rain. Our guide Stevo was entertaining and very knowledgeable about Munich history and architecture. I highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Hi James. Thanks for the review, we are glad to read you had a great time out there in spite of the rain.

Great guide! Fantastic tour!

Michelle is very good at showing us the city. A lot of fun. The cycling is safe . Highly recommend!!!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thanks for the review Victor. We are glad to read you had a lot of fun out there exploring Munich by bike.

Great bike tour - just right!

Lucy_B, Oct 2022

Great bike tour! Dani was a fabulous host, providing just the right amount of history and making it interesting. The pace of cycling was also just right, with plenty of stops and toilet stops too. My bike was great - very easy to ride! Dani managed the group well, and it was a friendly, informative and relaxed experience.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Hi Lucy. Thanks for sharing a little in your experience out on tour with our guide Dani. We appreciate the review.

Great time!

Michael_B, Sep 2022

Loved the tour and how much we saw of Munich. The city and course we took was not very hard to bike. It is more about seeing the city and less about an informational tour

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Hi Michael. Thank you for the review of our Munich bike tour.

Not impressed

Andrew_B, Sep 2022

I was not very impressed with our guide. Some of her English was difficult to understand, she rambled quite a lot and did not keep the group together on the road. (I Recognize this is a difficult task) Talking with folks who knew Munich, she skipped a lot of the major attractions as well.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Hi Andrew. Thank you for sharing in your experience. We are sorry to read you felt our guides english was difficult to understand at times. Keeping a group together whilst out on the bike tour can come with all kinds of external chaleneges, from traffic on the day, to the level of riding ability of each guest. It sounds like you perhaps encountered a few of these issues on your tour and we understand that must have felt a little frustrating. Many of the stops on the bike tour are differnet to the city walking tour we offer. So a number of major attractions (that are seen on the walking tour) are not visited on the bike tour. Instead guest are able to get out and head to other locations that are a bit more spread out and see a different part of Munich. Like the beautiful english garden fro example. All the same we are sory to read you were left feeling unimpressed.

Visiting the English...

Steven_S, Aug 2022

Visiting the English garden was a nice time. Our tour guide was great and kept everyone together. Really went above and beyond for everyone.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thanks for the five star review of our Munich bike tour, we are glad to read you had a nice time.

Great, flat and easy ride for all ages, physical abilities.

James_S, Aug 2022

Nice, easy ride for any age through Munich - note; does not stop at traditional landmarks; e.g., Marienplatz, but you can do that afterwards. Rob was great tour guide, and has cycled around the world! Had the advantage of good weather throughout the ride.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Hi James. Thanks for stoing to take the time to leave a review of our Munich Bike Tour.

Great Family ride through Munich on a Sunday.

Daniel_R, Aug 2022

Great easy ride through Munich. Michelle was our guide and she was very knowledgeable about the city, it's architecture and history. The group had 13 people and it was a fun mixed crowd. We had my 9 year old with us and he had no problem keeping up with the group. He is a good rider and had his own bike and managed traffic well. My family and I had a great time!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thanks for the five star review Daniel. We are glad to read you and your family all had a great time :)

Definitely a must - request Michelle

Bonnijo_S, Jul 2022

Our tour guide Michelle was wonderful. She provided just the right level of detail for the tour. She also let my 7 year old ride rifhr behind her and was wonderfully patient with all of his questions. She was a delight.

Response from Host, Jul 2022
