It was a very entertaining tour. The history of the Viktualienmarkt was conveyed excitingly. You can tell that Joachim is a guide with body and soul. The selection of culinary delights was very good.

Maybe our rating is influenced by cold weather and rain, but still: Influenced by the description, we went without breakfast and hungry for the tour - and had to wait over 1h until we got something to eat. At the beginning of the tour there was a shot glass with cold juice, then we were told a lot about the delicious food like the fish rolls. Many booths said - we'll try that later. At some point they bought pretzels, which we were only to get later, because we were to eat them with antipasti. Since it was 12 o'clock in the meantime, we were really struggling without breakfast, always hearing about the delicious food and getting Nix. After more than 1 h I finally got the pretzel, I got it from above the bag which was freezing cold and wet in the meantime (it would have been delicious right after the purchase). The antipasti didn't come a little later. Even if they were delicious, we would have been more happy about a whole typical cucumber than about 3 slices of cucumber with hummus and pickled peppers. Then there was a sausage platter, from which you could take a pickser sausage on slices of bread. Some of the group bought warm liver rolls here, which looked much better in the cold than cold sausage breads. We left the tour at this point because it was much too cold without something warm and the next announced cheese plate (probably with bread) and another announced slice of the best bread did not irritate us. We also preferred to buy liver cheese rolls! We think that such a tasting tour could be organized much better - the food should be distributed equally in time and the top product from each stand - preferably as finger food. Our guide was nice, informative and probably could not make regarding the process.

A great birthday present from my friends! The tour was great. In addition to the treats, there were exciting historical insights into the city's history and a lot to smile about. Gabi led the tour and did very well!

Basically, my expectations regarding historical overview and current condition have been fulfilled.Unfortunately, my expectation of figures on sales or customer contacts or booth rentals has not been answered, which is of course because neither the dealers nor the lessor publishes the corresponding information. My expectations were too high, Nonetheless, all the tasting bites were very delicious, I bought a little something at the cheese stand after the tour.
Viktualienmarkt, who doesn’t make your mouth water at this word? An incomparable aroma unfolds here on 22,000 sqm: delicatessen and vegetables, fish and meat, bread and cheese, flowers and juices, fruit and antipasti, eggs and potatoes. Diversity and the highest quality are what make the market so attractive.
We try delicacies from up to 8 stands and have, for example, prepared these delicacies for you:
• Refreshing or warming organic welcome drink - prepared for you depending on the season
• hearty sausage specialties
• Double-baked farmer's crust bread
• Bavarian antipasti
• Munich's best fresh pretzels
• exquisite cheese variation
• exotic and regional fruit
• freshly squeezed fruit juice
We start our tour at the Isartor, where we are given a welcome drink from the Demeter-certified St. Michaelshof. We walk along the old city wall until we get to the Viktualienmarkt. At Bablers Räucherkistl we can look forward to a plate with smoked sausage specialties. We also serve the famous and multi-award-winning double-baked farmer's crust bread from Bäckerliesl, which, at over 90 years old, is the oldest woman on the market. Of course, vegetarians are not neglected either: we offer an exotic fruit platter from the neighboring fruit and vegetable shop.
Countless stories during the tour lead us through the history of the market to the present: How did the Viktualienmarkt actually come about? When did the market women dance? Where do market people take their goods to in the evening? How do you get to a stand and how much do stand owners have to pay to the city?
At the Sauren Eck we taste fresh antipasti with olives, pickled vegetables and various seasonal specialties. Let yourself be surprised! There are also fresh pretzels - praised by many Munich residents as the best in the city - from Karnoll's bakery and coffee shops. Finally, we have prepared a plate with delicate cheese specialties, because it is known that this closes the stomach. Try Munich's best obazdn and unusual cheeses. To round off the tour, there is still a freshly squeezed juice for each guest.
In addition to trying, we answer your questions, introduce the stands and stand owners and show you some unknown corners of the market.
