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

Oktoberfest in Munich is a world-famous festival blending tradition, beer, food, and entertainment. This tour is aimed at Oktoberfest beginners and people who also want to learn something about the history of the festival. As a native of Munich, I also pass on the tips and tricks you should know at the Oktoberfest. Show traditional rides and attractions that are only available here, such as the Teufelsrad (Devil's Wheel), Krinoline or Tobogan. And give recommendations on food you should try and beer tents that are worth a visit. So it's a two-hour introduction, after which everyone can have their own positive experience of Oktoberfest. Disclaimer: I cannot guarantee entry to tents, nor do I have reserved tables. This is an introduction and guide to exploring on your own later. Available from September 22nd to October 2nd - Monday to Thursday.
