Actually, the tour is only about 3.5 hours when subtracting the time waiting for people to get on/off the bus at the few stops visited.

OFTEN REFERRED to as "the village of one million," Munich is the proud capital of Bavaria (Bayern) and is also the headquarters of BMW (Bavarian Motor Works); it was voted "the city most Germans would prefer to live in," and is the capital of beer -- thanks to the monks. In the 8th century, monks from a nearby monastery formed a settlement on the Isar River. From this evolved "Zu den München" (literally, By the Monks) and today's modern-day name: München. Monks are the masters of brewing beer, and Munich, a settlement of monks, evolved into an intoxicating hub.
