Hello, I'm Philipp, A native of Munich with a lifelong connection to this incredible city. As a passionate tour guide and content creator, I specialize in bringing Munich's unique stories and lesser-known gems to life. Growing up here, I’ve cultivated not only an insider’s knowledge of the city’s famous landmarks but also the hidden corners that most visitors miss. Munich’s history spans from its medieval foundations to its complex role in the rise of National Socialism, and I strive to present these chapters with the depth and context they deserve. The city is also a culinary treasure trove, from hearty Bavarian classics to vibrant street food markets that showcase local flavors. And with a rich calendar of seasonal events, like the world-famous Oktoberfest and magical Christmas markets, there’s always something to celebrate. Beyond the main attractions, I enjoy introducing visitors to lesser-known treasures like the Auer Dult, a traditional fair, and Starkbierfest, Munich's “strong beer” festival rooted in Bavarian monastic tradition. Through my videos and tours, I provide a local’s perspective that’s rich with personal anecdotes and connections to the city’s past and present. Whether you’re looking for iconic sights, authentic eats, or a deep dive into Munich’s vibrant, authentic spots, I’m here to show you a side of Munich that you’ll never forget.

Overview of your Munich tour

Lake Chiemsee, often referred to as the "Bavarian Sea," is the largest lake in Bavaria, set against the backdrop of the Alpine foothills. Known for its natural beauty and historical significance, it has been a place of inspiration for centuries. The journey includes a ride on the Chiemsee-Bahn, a historic steam tram connecting the town of Prien with the harbor. From there ships provide transport across the lake to its two famous islands: 🌿 Fraueninsel – A picturesque island with a historic Benedictine convent, charming fishing houses, and artisan workshops. The peaceful atmosphere and well-preserved traditions make it a unique cultural site. 🏰 Herreninsel – The largest island, home to Herrenchiemsee Palace, built by King Ludwig II as a tribute to Versailles. Though unfinished, the palace showcases extraordinary craftsmanship and lavish interiors. This combination of scenic landscapes, historical landmarks, and traditional transport offers a glimpse into Bavaria’s rich cultural heritage.

Your Munich tour itinerary

- Prien - Boat trip to Frauenchiemsee Island and Herrenchiemsee Island - Walk around Frauenchiemsee (20min) and lunch break - Frauenwörth abbey - Herrenchiemsee New Palace by Ludwig II (I will organize the tickets for the palace tour in advance to skip the line. The tour lasts approx. 40 minutes and is led by an official palace guide. )
