My daughter and I really enjoyed our tour with Philipp. He communicated ahead of time to set up the convenient meeting place. Throughout the tour we could tell that he was excited to talk about the history of Munich while giving helpful tips about what to do for the rest of our vacation. I would highly recommend Philipp as a tour guide for your family or group also. Fun Knowledgeable and Helpful

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). Vielen Dank!!A Magnificent storyteller and fun tour

I flew into munich on my way to meet family in Austria but wanted to take advantage of the limited time I had to get to know the City. Philippe was an outstanding guide. I needed to change the tour time at the last minute and he was very flexible. I am sure I could have spent a day with him and gathered a lot more information but he understood my time constraints and we hit all the high value spots in town. Very knowledgeable, personable and a pleasure to spend an afternoon roaming the streets of old town Munich with. Highly recommendFantastic Introduction to Munich

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!

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 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

We went to key sights but also liked the off the beaten path places and stories. Frank’s English was excellent and he was very kind in answering all our questions. He had a good sense of humor. 😀😀 Recomennded.

Wir waren eine Gruppe mit 21 Personen verschiedener Nationalitäten. Bei heissen Temperaturen inkl. Stadtfest keine leichte Aufgabe :-) Philipp hat es aber super gemeistert mit seiner sympathischen Art und uns in 5,3 Stunden inkl. 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!
