Hello and "Grüß Gott"! If you are curious about my hometown, I would love to pass on my enthusiasm about this beautiful city to you! Having been born and raised in the south of Germany, I was lucky enough to have moved to Munich about 25 years ago. Ever since I have been living here with my husband and my two daughters. After having studied business administration I worked in the finance departments of International Companies in Dublin, London, and Stockholm. Wherever I could I joined locals to show me their home. Finally in 2014 I decided to completely change my life and to make my dream come true: To become a tour guide myself! I qualified with the Munich Tourist Board and trained to be a licensed guide for the Dachau Memorial Site. I love to interact with my guests, regardless of whether international tourist groups, school classes, short-term city hoppers, history buffs or culture seekers. It does not matter if you want to discover the well-known sites or to get to know the city off the beaten tracks. I will always help you to see behind the obvious. Because I also love to show Munich locals around their neighbourhoods, I do not merely focus on the historic city centre, but also on the different quarters which all have a certain appeal and tell you a lot about our city and its inhabitants. Being a big fan of Munich's "Gemütlichkeit" myself - this is what we call the feeling of relaxing in one of our traditional beer-gardens or socializing with friends in our beer halls - I am sure that we will be able to chat far beyond the Bavarian kings, the Munich Monuments or our city's rich heritage of history. I would be more than happy to turn your trip to Munich into an unforgettable experience. Looking forward to meeting you in Munich!

Overview of your Munich tour

Munich at its best - from posh City Sights to the former working-class-district. We will start this walking tour in the absolute city centre where you will see all major sights and hear about Munich's rich history. Starting in the Middle Ages we will work our way through the centuries and learn about Bavaria and Bavarian rulers, while we take a closer look at stunning churches, well known monuments or royal residences. Of course, we will also talk about 20th century history and learn how Munich was rebuilt after the WW II destruction. But be sure there will be enough time to talk about beer as well! After about two hours walk, we will take public transport to get to the other side of our river Isar. In the charming quarter of Haidhausen you will learn how the city's poorest population used to live and understand why this neighbourhood has recently become so popular among families. At the end of the tour, we can treat ourselves to a glass of beer in one of the most charming beer gardens in town.

Grit did a fantastic job on our Munich Old Town walking tour. At the start of the tour, we mentioned that we had already visited a few of the major sites, and she immediately adjusted the itinerary to ensure we had a fresh and engaging experience. Her flexibility and focus on our interests made the tour feel truly personalized. Throughout the tour, Grit brought Munich's history and culture to life with fascinating stories and insightful historical context. She shared local perspectives that helped us better understand the city beyond what we could have learned from guidebooks alone. In addition to the tour itself, Grit provided excellent recommendations for places to explore in more depth, as well as outstanding restaurant suggestions that enhanced the rest of our visit. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and storytelling made the experience memorable from start to finish. This tour was the highlight of our stay in Munich. If you're looking for an exceptional guide who is knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about her city, I cannot recommend Grit highly enough. Hiring Grit is one of the best decisions you can make for your visit to Munich.

Grit was one of the most knowledgeable and communicative guides we have ever had. She has a complete grasp of the history of Munich from its earlier days. We found her very engaging and fun to be with. She was able to address the complexity of Munich’s role in the rise of the Nazi party with tact and insight. We would recommend her without reservation.

We had a fabulous time with Grit. She spent a lot of time with the background history of Munich. She also took us to a local beer garden and explained how it started. It was wonderful to have a local take us around. Highly recommend Grit as your tour guide.

Our half day walking tour of Munich with Grit far exceeded our expectations. Grit is extremely knowledgeable, her English is excellent and she knows where to find the very best pretzels in Old Town! Grit gets my highest recommendation - the tour was an exceptional value and we wouldn't hesitate booking another tour with Grit on a return trip to Munich.

What an amazing tour done by a wonderful tour guide! Grit was flexible, knowledgable, and thorough. She met us at our hotel and then gave us a tour of that area, which is a lesser known neighborhood. She weaved Germany's complicated history throughout, never shying away from all the WW2 era historical moments that make up the city. At the same time, her love of the city came through, showing us what makes Munich and its people such a wonderful place to live. We were two families with 3 teens and she kept it interesting for them as well. Book her today!

Transport details
Type: Public Transportation / Category: Subway

We will have to use public transport in between, which in Munich is modern, comfortable and easy. But if you want to rather walk instead I can customize our route into a delightgul promenade through the English Garden

What's included
Private Guide
What's not included
Other: Personal expenses. We will have to pay for public transport in order to get to the neighbourhood of Haidhausen. This should not cost you more than 3,50 EUR per person. But if you travel as a group of 2 to 5 people there are much cheeper day tickets. Please do ask me for advise before you buy a ticket.
