About this tour
This session covers Hirschgarten, one of the world's largest beer gardens, starting with the deer that share its grounds. You see the enclosure most visitors are surprised to find here and the long communal tables where the self-service tradition still runs. It combines an odd detail with a genuine local tradition.
I move at a relaxed pace from the enclosure to the tables, explaining both as we go. Questions about the beer garden's rules are welcome throughout, and I send a short note afterwards.
This suits anyone who wants a relaxed, outdoor session with a slightly unusual detail attached. It also works well as an evening session after a busier day.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera
- Travel to the city

The camera finds a small herd sharing the grounds with the beer garden, a combination most visitors do not expect.

-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Munich: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Schweinshaxe (pork knuckle) and Altstadt, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Berlin time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Munich, showing you Deer Enclosure and Long Tables live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
How it works
- You get one join link after booking.
- Join from any device: phone, tablet or laptop.
