Ich habe Yvonne getroffen. Sie ist wirklich nett und gut informiert, 100 % empfehlenswert. Wir haben uns Haidhausen angeschaut, ein ganz schnuckeliges Viertel. Ich bin Spanier und lerne Deutsch und Yvonne hat immer sehr klar und deutlich gesprochen, ich habe sie sehr gut verstanden. Wir haben ein sehr nettes Gespräch über deutsche Landeskunde geführt. Ich habe die Erfahrung so toll gefunden, dass ich mir überlegt habe, in meiner Stadt (Palma de Mallorca), eine Greeter Gruppe zu gründen. Danke Yvonne 🙂

Yesterday it was my girlfriend's 30th birthday. We wanted to do something special in Munich and celebrate it as she deserves. So we decided to go to the terrace of the Bayerischer Hof. The terrace is beautiful and the views are awe-inspiring. But the service is disastrous. The prices are clearly higher than in other bars or restaurants and for this reason we were expecting a sublime service. Well nothing is further from the truth. When we got there, we had no reservation, so we asked if they had any free table for 2. A waiter told us the terrace was fully booked, but we could sit on any table that gets available on a certain side space on the terrace. So we waited. When a table got free we sat. A waitress came to us and told us someone was already waiting for that table, so we apologized, stood up and kept on waiting. Some minutes later another table was going to get free and another couple came and took it before we could react. We were expecting the waitress to tell them that table was reserved for us, but she didn’t. I asked her to do her job and tell those customers that that table was for us, but she kept on arguing with us and tried to avoid doing her job. Instead she told us to take the next table that gets free. I got a little annoyed and I finally convinced her to do her job. She went to the table and said something to the other customers but they did not stand up and let us sit on the table that was theoretically reserved for us, which means that she didn’t do her job as she should have. She did not apply the same treatment to us as she did for the previous customer. She applied preferential treatment to the previous customer. That is unfair, rude and unprofessional. Luckily another table got free some minutes later and we could finally sit. We ordered beverages and food. The waiter brought the beverage for my girlfriend and 5 minutes later the beverage for me. As far as I understand, he should have served both beverages at the same time, especially when it comes to an exclusive restaurant. Some minutes later he brought the starter. The food was very good. The Carpaccio was fantastic. When we finished the starter, the waiter took around 20 minutes to bring us the main dishes, which I found way too long indeed. The main dishes were tasty and special. When we finished having dinner, we chatted for a while and felt like going home, so we ordered the bill. The waiter took 30 minutes to bring it. Unbelievable. He decided that picking up glasses and cleaning other tables was a priority. After 15 minutes we ordered the bill again and he said it was already ordered in an unpleasant tone. This was not true, because he was the one in charge of printing the bill at the cash. He didn’t apologize for the delay. When we finally got the bill, we paid and in order to show our dissatisfaction, we decided not to tip. At this point, the waiter did not take his chance either to apologize and he didn’t even say goodbye. The waiters from Bayerischer Hof are not professional waiters. They are arrogant students that have not received the proper training to serve customers that pay high prices for beverages and food. It is shameful that with such high prices, they do not hire more professional waiters or at least give them proper training. There should be more waiters on the terrace to reduce the time to serve customers or if you want to create an exclusive atmosphere, you should not let some many people in at the same time. That is a serious fault of the management from Bayerischer Hof. We were expecting to have a great time and an exclusive experience on Andrea’s 30th birthday at Bayerischer Hof, but it turned out to be certainly unpleasant. I have to admit that, when we have dinner at regular restaurants, we pay 1/3 of what we paid at Bayerischer Hof, they treat us a lot better and they serve us a lot faster.

The morning with our Greeter, Yvonne, was one of the best we experienced on our trip to Munich/Germany. She was informative, down to earth and just a delight. She showed us around the area close to our hotel so that we could explore it later at our leisure. On this day we were also joined by another lady, so sorry cannot remember her name, who was going to become a Greeter. She was also very informed , extremely nice and also helpful. She will be an asset. She took us over to the English Garden to show us the surfers. A big THANK YOU to both of these lovely ladies for a memorable time in Munich.

Historisch nicht bewiesen, das stimmt. Dennoch geht man davon aus, dass Erbshäuser die Torte als erster produziert hat. Konditor Rottenhöfer starb bereits ein paar Jahre davor und Konditor Seidl produzierte sie erst kurz darauf. Von daher geht man gemeinhin davon aus, dass Erbshäuser der Erfinder der Torte ist. Vermutlich hat es sich damals um einen Trend gehandelt, einer der Konditoren hat die Torte erfunden und alle anderen Konditoreien Münchens haben sie schnell kopiert.

Hallo! Die aussage, dass die Prinzregententorte in der Konditorei Erbshäuser erfunden wurde, ist falsch. Es kommen drei Konditoren in Frage, einer davon ist die Konditorei Erbshäuser. Wer genau die leckere Torte erfunden hat, ist historisch nicht belegt!

Sara und Markus, We have forgotten until now to write a review. We had a wonderful morning meeting you both and walking the streets of Munich seeing sights we never knew existed. Thank you so much for your time, and the Bavarian food was indeed sehr lecker. We are planning our next trip to Munich already. Colm and Dearbhla

Also, wenn ich in die Großstädte der Welt fahre, fliege oder schleiche, dann ist mein Marco-Polo Reiseführer immer dabei! Ich mag keinen anderen! Gruß Dani

Herzliches Merci an Insa für die tolle Führung "München im III. Reich". So macht es Spass, MUC kennenzulernen: Eine gute Dosis Infos, viel Bewegung und Eindrücke, genug Zeit, in Ruhe zu plaudern und Vergleiche anzustellen. Das Ganze gewürzt mit Aufgeschlossenheit und Natürlichkeit. Super war's!
