Very informative, showed us lots of historical photos which really put the information into context. Very enthusiastic with perfect English, and kept our sons (11 and 14) completely engaged the whole time. We really felt that we saw some places that were off the main track, and it was very good to go at our own pace rather than to keep up with a large group. Philipp is an excellent guide and we thoroughly recommend a tour with him - you will learn so much! Such a good tour!

We like to mix education with entertainment on our short city breaks, especially when travelling with teenagers. Spending morning one with Philipp was perfect. He tailored his delivery, describing the modern history of the city, and lifting it off the page with actually seeing the buildings that still survive. We lightened it with a tour of the old town and enjoyed a drink together at the end. Philipp also has a number of interesting YouTube videos Expert knowledge of Munich

First of all, Norma is an excellent guide. She was knowledgeable and shared a lot of lesser known details with us . The tour time flew by. We learned so much in this tour. We are all history buffs and this tour had so much to offer. Well worth the cost and to have a private tour. I’d book another tour with Norma if we had time. Book the tour!

We highly recommend you book this walking tour with Philipp. Phillip provides the perfect introduction to the Old Town of Munich. He is extremely knowledgeable and has carefully curated a comprehensive introduction to Munich’s town centre, its winding streets, its baroque churches, the Residential Palace, the historic sites with their storied history, museums, bier halls, folklore, and more, altogether a thorough, concise and entertaining overview of the city’s history and culture. We learned a great deal while having a lot of fun. Phillip clearly loves his home town, and has given careful thought to how to make it accessible to the visitor. His English is impeccable. He provides the right amount of information without overwhelming you. When we were done, we felt at home, and we were ready to be on our own for our next steps. In addition to the ideal walking tour, Phillip provided us with a link to his website which is full of helpful information and videos that allowed us to prepare for our visit in advance. All in all, it doesn’t get better than this. 10/10 for sure.A definite recommend with Philipp!

We spent the afternoon with Marion today and had an amazing time. She was prompt meeting us. The weather was horrible but she was a true professional and didn’t let that slow us down. We spent 3 hrs with her on a walking tour and saw so many Munich highlights. She has a great personality and is so knowledgeable about everything Munich. I’ve done my fair share of traveling and I have had other private guides, but Marion really wanted you to understand what she was explaining to us. She had photos to share that I really appreciated as I am a visual learner. I would highly recommend Marion the next time you are in Munich. We really enjoyed our day with her!! Wonderful day in Munich!

Our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 teenagers) had an excellent time with Marion. It is daunting to go into a big city with so much to see and a limited amount of time. Marion was great! She gave us tons of info about the history of the city, was patient, engaging and very organized. I asked my kids and husband and we all feel she deserves a 10/10! We all felt the tour was well worth the time and money and are all very glad we did it. Thanks "Withlocals" and Marion!A perfect way to see Munich!

Marion was delightful! She was engaging and knowledgeable and subtly hilarious. The history of Bavaria and Munich came to life as we wandered through the streets and bräuhausen and churches. She pointed out little details we would have missed and told the stories that you can’t find in history books. Our whole family enjoyed the tour (including our three teenagers).

I had an amazing Withlocals tour of Munich with Phillip as my guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and I had a much better understanding of city life with his engaging stories and deep insight. What really stood out was his ability to share not just the major landmarks, but also hidden gems and lesser-known facts that made the experience truly unique. Phillip was very flexible and tailored the tour to match my interests, which made it feel personal and relaxed. One of the highlights was his story about the Devil’s Footprint in the Frauenkirche — something I would have completely missed without him, and now it’s one of my favorite memories of the trip. If you’re looking for a friendly, informative, and custom experience in Munich, I can’t recommend Phillip highly enough. A top-notch guide and a five-star tour!Fantastic Munich Tour with Phillip

We have done many tours across Europe and Paola was truly the best. To get my 7 year old engaged and at the end saying she loved it - is no small achievement.

Abstecher in einen erfrischenden Biergarten, München sehr gut und interessant gezeigt. (obwohl er durch die Grösse der Gruppe nicht all sein Geplantes zeigen konnte und seine Tour gut angepasst hat).Toll gemacht!!!

Our three hour tour with Marion was delightful! We had a wonderful time from the minute we met her at our assigned meeting place until we shared our last sad goodbyes. Marion really knows her city and all of its history. She delivers her tour in an engaging way without bogging you down in all of the minutiae when it’s not necessary. The pace of the tour was just right, with a few stops in the Central Church’s. She shares all of the really unique details of both the major sights and the more obscure ones. This was definitely the best WithLocals tour that we have taken. Thank you so much Marion for sharing your beautiful city with us and the surprise presents! Fantastic Tour With Marion!
