Dear travellers, my name is Stefan, I am a native-born Münchner who has spent his previous life all over the world. After the completion of my studies of philosophy in Austria and England I decided to come back to my splendid Bavarian home town and I started to work as a journalist and tour guide. In 2006 I was trained and authorised to give tours in Munich and at the Dachau concentration camp memorial site. One of my major interests is the gloomy history of the Third Reich, and I am happy to share my knowledge with you. In 2022 I got my diploma as a certified beer sommelier, and I just created a new tour: the Munich beer journey - a walking tour with beer tastings. Check it out! I like to be outdoors as much as possible, and in my free time I do a lot of road cycling and hiking. And on request I also offer bicycle and hiking tours in Munich and in the Alps. I am looking forward to showing you around. If you wish to explore Bavaria with a real local, let us get in touch! Last but not least, thanks a lot for more than 400 5 star reviews over the past couple of years. Thanks to your feedback I was honoured as one of ToursByLocals's Top 3 Guides in Europe in 2017! Master in philosophy. Licensed to work as a tour guide in Munich and at the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site. Certified beer sommelier with diploma. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Munich tour

Munich is the city of the Oktoberfest and the Hofbräuhaus, the city of beer gardens and the strong beer festival, and Munich is often called the beer capital of the world! In fact, a major chapter in the history of beer was written in Munich and a lot of beer styles were invented in this area. On this tour we will take a closer look at eight different types of beer and you will learn all about the great Bavarian beer culture from a certified beer sommelier. The tour includes eight small samples of beer for each participant, and the beers are from different breweries. Please note that this is not a brewery tour and not a pub crawl, but a unique way to get to know the huge variety of beers that are brewed in Munich with a local beer expert. This tour is not about quantity, but quality, so it can easily be done in the morning, even if you have plans for the afternoon. The beer tasting lasts around 1. 5 hours and it's embedded in my regular 2.5 hour walking tour of Munich.

We had a fantastic time and Stefan didn't great job! Stefan was very knowledgeable about the beers we were drinking, why the beer was culturally important, and how the local laws and ingredients have shaped Bavarian beer styles. We learned several new things about how Bavarian beer is different then American beers. We started the beer at 10 am local time which was a great start time because we were able to visit the food market afterwards for a great lunch. My wife has worked in the craft beer industry in the states and she greatly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend to anyone - novice and experts alike. We would recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a deeper understanding of Bavarian beers and who is interested in trying the wide range of Bavarian beers that you may otherwise not discover.

My father and I did this tour and had a wonderful time. We had debated between taking the general history or this beer tour, worried that we’d either have to sacrifice history or fun. What I can happily say is that this tour is both, as it explains how integral beer has been to Munich’s economic, legal, technological, and cultural developments. There was scarcely a field of knowledge we didn’t touch upon and after taking the tour, elements of Bavarian culture make a little more sense in a holistic and organic way. This is all without mentioning Stefan himself who was punctual, erudite, and exceptionally funny and welcoming. Thoroughly impressed by his knowledge and his choice in beer. On this most recent trip, we had 7 days between Berlin and Munich and previously I had lived in both Berlin and Munich cumulatively for 6 months and this was amongst the best memories I’ve had in Germany.

Fantastic tour with Stefan! We have used his services 4 times and decided to do the Beer Tour on this visit and we were not disappointed. You cannot go wrong using Stefan when in Bavaria!

Very informative and extremely knowledgeable, especially when it came to the information on the beers and the tasting. Stefan is definitely a professional when it comes to his knowledge of beers and brewing.

We had a great time learning about the history of Munich and beer while tasting a wide variety of beers with Stefan. Due to rainy weather, we did the tasting at our hotel, enjoying his information about each beer. Then we took the subway to Marienplatz to walk around the historic center to see all the beer sights. He gave us pointers on other places to go. We had a fabulous time and it was the perfect introduction for our time in Munich.

What an amazing tour. Stephan is so personable and so knowledgeable about Munich and its history of beers. Our whole family enjoyed his tour from Parents to Daughter this tour is totally recommended.

Your Munich tour itinerary

The ideal meeting point for this tour is Marienplatz (in front of the Tourist Information). We will start with a short introduction about Munich's history from the Middle Ages until today, and then continue with the beer tasting. Afterwards we will explore more sights in the Old Town including the Hofbräuhaus and (depending on the season) a traditional beer garden. This tour is designed for six beer drinkers. You can bring up to two extra persons who do not drink beer, like kids, for no extra charge. For bigger groups please send me a message. Please note that the tasting takes place outdoors, so make sure you wear appropriate clothes.
