Walk from Frauenkirche to Sendlinger Tor through Munich’s southern old town, hearing unsettling tales of witches, hangmen, whores, and other outcasts. German-speaking guides such as Susanne and Patricia lead this 105-minute tour, which suits adults and children aged 14 and up.

Walk from Bamberg’s cathedral square through the Old Court, Geyerswörth Palace, and other historic sites while a trained German-speaking guide explains the 17th-century witch hunts, the Trudenhaus prison, and how Bamberg remembers this dark past.
