“This tour was billed as a "Magical Christmas" tour and it was anything but that. It was a general tour of old town Munich - which was nice and informative but NOT what we ordered. It was also EXCEPTIONALLY OVERPRICED. We paid over $550 for a Christmas tour and did not get one. Our entire group was very disappointed.”
