Begin your tour at Munich Central Train Station, or with complimentary pickup at your central Munich hotel at a time of your choosing. Let your guide lead the way towards the walkable Munich Old Town, aka Altstadt, the epicenter of Munich’s food scene. Any preferences? Let you guide know; this tour can be tailored to suit your interests.
Follow your guide into the Viktualienmarkt, the city’s famous open-air food market. The market first opened over 200 years ago ; today, it’s still going strong, offering fresh, high-quality ingredients and ready-to-eat treats.
Once you enter, feast your senses on the dizzying array of food vendors hawking their delectable produce, wine, and spices, among other goods. Your private guide will help you get acquainted with the market, detailing the history of this epicurean hub as you weave your way through a mixed crowd of tourists and locals there to browse some 150 stalls for the best buys.
Your private guide will then introduce you to some classic Bavarian flavors at the market. While you tuck into delicious samples, discover the stories behind the food. Bite into plump weisswurst, a popular minced veal and pork sausage, or taste some obatzda, a gooey camembert-based dip.
After you’ve finished munching on these hearty samples, exit the market and make your way to a traditional restaurant nearby. Sit down and dig into a platter of various Bavarian bites. Want the scoop on what you’re eating? Ask your expert guide about the ingredients and preparation of these classic Bavarian dishes.
After your appetite has been sated, your guide escorts you back to where the tour began ─ either Munich Central Train Station or your hotel.
