False advertising! That's the best way to describe this tour. It is advertised as being suitable for English speakers, it is not. My wife and I were the only English speakers on the whole tour, everyone else spoke German. The city tour was really fast and it was obvious that the less than enthusiastic tour guide gave a great deal of more information in German than in English. We felt unwanted and a complete hassle to everyone else there. At the film studio the guide was lovely, but when we arrived she was surprised that there were two English speakers in the group. We felt even more of a hassle as she summarised what she was going to say in German, thus holding up the group. Everyone else seemed to have a good time but I would only recommend this tour for German speakers. I suggest Viator stop trying to trick people who don't speak German in doing this tour.

Very nice tour, informative, suitable for a family and covers most of Munich major sites. The kids had much of fun in the Bavaria Film Studio.
