Sample traditional Bavarian breakfast items (Lunch Only)
Your first stop includes the essential Bavarian morning meal. Start your day the Munich way with Weißwurst (white sausage), pretzels, and tangy sweet mustard, paired with a refreshing Apfelschorle (apple spritzer, or juice mixed with sparkling water). -

Walk to the next location to taste the heart of Bavarian alpine cooking. Depending on the menu, you might enjoy crispy roasted chicken, slow-simmered Goulash (a hearty stew), or rich Käsespätzle (egg noodles with melted cheese). -

Savor local pastries and sweets
Next, transition to Munich’s sweeter side with a stop dedicated to traditional pastries. Taste either a large, deep-fried Schmalznudel (a specialty dough, crisp at the edges), or a fluffy, jam-filled Krapfen (a classic German doughnut). -

Finish the tour with a traditional German spirit or wine
Round off your culinary experience with a traditional beverage as your delightful finale. Lunch tours savor Honigwein (honey wine), while dinner tours toast with a bracing shot of German Schnapps (a strong fruit spirit).
