About this tour
This call is a close look at the Auer Dult, a household fair held on the same square three times a year for centuries, told from behind one stallholder's own storage room. You see ceramics and secondhand tools passed down through the trade and hear how the fair has kept running through changing times. It is a focused conversation about tradition rather than a market walk.
I open with a quick look at a few pieces from my own stock, then talk through the fair's long history before taking your questions. Afterwards I send a short note on the fair's next dates for anyone who wants to visit themselves.
This suits anyone curious about traditional markets and trades passed down through families. It also works well as a companion to the food stalls session in the same district.

- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Munich: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
