Walkative was established in 2007 by a group of young enthusiasts who also happened to be licensed tour guides. Today, we operate in 20 cities in countries across all of Europe and beyond, including France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Ukraine and Israel. We have already guided more than 3 million tourists, with more than 350 000 in 2023 only! Despite this growth, we stay true to our values: be local and present the history of our cities in a professional, yet entertaining way, accessible for everybody, regardless their budget. We provide service not only in big, well established places like Berlin, Paris or Krakow, but also smaller, less known, yet no less fascinating locations, like Nice, Toruń or Lublin. We cooperate with highly trained, professional guides providing both engaging tip-based and regular fixed-price tours. And most importantly - we know our cities by heart! Join us and stay Walkative!

Tour description

 Munich is not only known as the city of beer and the modern combination of “laptop and lederhosen”, but also as one of the most liveable cities in the world. In addition to the internationally renowned universities and companies located here, this standard of living is characterized above all by a large number of parks, sports facilities and Munich's beer garden culture. 

On this tour through the English Garden, we experience all these facets of the Munich lifestyle. The English Garden is one of the largest inner-city parks in the world, laid out in the 18th century, and is today a lively meeting place for those seeking relaxation, for sports enthusiasts and for culture lovers. On our tour, we explore the history and development of the park - from its initial planning to its modern character.


At the same time, we immerse ourselves in the world of Munich's surfers. At the famous Eisbach wave, an artificial standing wave in the English Garden, surfers have been riding the waves on this side arm of the Isar for decades. Sports enthusiasts from all over the world meet here to experience the unique combination of white water and urban flair.


During the tour we see, among other things:

    - The famous Eisbach waves and their surfers

    - The Monopteros and other landmark buildings in the park

    - The extensive green spaces and idyllic streams of the English Garden

    - The Chinese Tower with its popular beer garden
