Long visit (about 4 hours) and pleasant. Bike riding level (no electric) very simple, suitable for anyone. There was also a child in the car seat. The stops are purely in historic places. The guide Bob was very precise and nice in the explanations. Be careful because he is a native British English speaker (Newhempshire if I understood correctly) and it is really difficult to understand. Very fast speech, C1 level vocabulary and many typical British "eat phrases".
We spoke without difficulty with the Americans present on tour with us and yet, in comparison, we understood little about the English language of the guide.
To understand everything about that British speech you need a C1 level and a trained ear.
It was still absolutely worth it, beautiful ride????
We were lucky and found a beautiful sunny day. Without sun, however, the humidity in Munich is terrible so you also need gloves and a hat.
We stopped for a 40 minute break inside the huge city park to eat a portion of chips (very good, crispy, no greasy. 5,80€), 1 blonde beer (no big deal, bitter, minimum beer of half a liter about 6 euros), blueorangepunch (good sweet and sour hot fruit juice, no alcohol. 5.80€).
When you buy something to drink they give it to you in glass glasses that you must bring back. For every full glass you are given a token. When you are done you look for the house with fruit boxes and when you return the glasses you are given 2 euros for each token. Ceramic-soiled dishes should be placed in another cottage without human staff inside empty fruit boxes.
In this area there are also bathrooms (necessary but not indispensable 1 euro coin to be given by hand to the lady cleaning the bathrooms). In this area there is also a playground for very young children with an antique-style carousel.
We also stopped to see the serfists there inside the park. An incredible attraction.
The beautiful autumn foliage.
Entrance to the spectacular free white church. Candles cost 50 cents each.
The departure is in the central square marienplats. As soon as you exit the metro you will find yourself in the central square , and leaving behind the building with the music box, past the porch of the toy museum, there is the statue of Juliet, a symbol of twinning with Verona, from which the tour is scheduled to start.
