Hi, I’m Philipp – a certified local guide, trained architect, and founder of Philipp's Munich Tours. I’m a native German speaker and fluent in English and Spanish. Over the years, I’ve received hundreds of 5-star reviews across multiple platforms.
My tours blend architecture, art, history, and creativity to reveal a side of Munich that’s full of surprises. We’ll explore iconic landmarks like the Frauenkirche as well as hidden gems such as Bahnwärter Thiel with bold street art, the quirky Alte Utting (featured in The New York Times), and the amazing Isar River.
In bohemian Schwabing, we’ll uncover striking Jugendstil architecture and trace the footsteps of cultural icons like Thomas Mann and Wassily Kandinsky, co-founder of the expressionist movement Blauer Reiter (Blue Rider).
Expect vivid storytelling, unexpected discoveries, and a creative twist – you’ll even make your own spray-painted postcard as a personal souvenir.
Join me for a unique and unforgettable Munich adventure!

Tour description
Hey,
Experience Munich on a unique journey through the historic Old Town! Our tour begins at the famous Marienplatz and continues through Viktualienmarkt and the Heilig-Geist-Kirche to the devil’s legend of the Frauenkirche. We'll also explore the history of WWII at the Odeonsplatz and take a moment to collect some extra good luck at the Residenz. Along the way, we’ll learn about Bavaria’s first king, Maximilian I Joseph, and wrap up with the wild yet significant tale of Munich’s very own “King Kong.”
