“It was a pretty cold evening so we were hoping for a great ghost tour to help us forget about the cold and Julia did not disappoint. She said she was relatively new at the position but you couldn't tell. She had lots of stories, some gruesome, some on the lighter side but all were interesting. There was walking involved but the stops were often and the spirits helped keep us warm, too. Julia was great. A great way to spend an evening in Munich!”
