Munich Private Tour with Official Guide and Architect

Munich

Pass-by Only

Discover Munich with Philipp—an architect and certified local guide who brings the city’s streets, stories, and hidden gems to life. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a personalized journey tailored to your interests. Before we begin, you’ll receive a short questionnaire to help shape the experience, whether you're drawn to royal history, architecture, modern and street art, or nature. Uncover Bavaria’s rich heritage in the old town with tales of the Wittelsbach dynasty, wander the museum district, and explore the expressive world of the Blauer Reiter. Dive into the city’s creative pulse—street art, underground culture, and bold local flavors. In bohemian Schwabing, admire Art Nouveau architecture and follow in the footsteps of Kandinsky and Thomas Mann. From the wild beauty of the Isar River and the peaceful English Garden to a grand Renaissance hall and a Rococo gem once graced by Mozart—Munich reveals itself in layers, just waiting to be explored.

We’ll begin in the very heart of Munich—Marienplatz, where the city’s success story began with the trade of “white gold” – salt. From there, we’ll make our way to St. Peter’s Church (Alter Peter), the oldest in the historic center, offering timeless views and stories. Just around the corner lies the lively Viktualienmarkt, a beloved food market full of local specialties and flavors. Next, we’ll dive into quirky legends—rooted in real history—at Munich’s first royal residence, the Alter Hof. Framing the square are the striking Old and New Town Halls, setting the stage for the centerpiece of the plaza: the Mariensäule, or Column of St. Mary. This iconic statue reveals fascinating insights into 18th-century Bavaria and the rise of its first Prince-Elector.

Frauenkirche

Pass-by Only

The most iconic building in Munich’s historic center is a true Gothic masterpiece—the Frauenkirche, rising to nearly 100 meters (328 feet). Built in the 15th century, it stands as a powerful symbol of the Wittelsbach royal family’s influence during the late Middle Ages. Inside, the legendary devil’s footprint offers a glimpse into the superstitions and stories of medieval life. Beneath this grand structure lies an even older layer of history: the site once housed a Romanesque chapel dating back to the 13th century, reflecting centuries of spiritual and architectural evolution.
