I am Anselm, a Stuttgart-based driver and tour guide who loves turning “just a transfer” into a genuine encounter with the people and the region. During my studies, I financed my education by driving a taxi. Day after day, I got to know the city in the most direct way possible: I listened to people's stories, observed how neighborhoods changed, and discovered how geography, industry, and history shape everyday life. What began as a student job became a passion—and eventually my profession. Over the years, I evolved from a taxi driver to a licensed tour guide, building up in-depth local knowledge and a reliable network. Today, I offer private tours and day trips in and around Stuttgart—personal, flexible, and authentic. And now even over several days—book me for your vacation! My style is relaxed and respectful: no luxury show, no “tourist script,” but real stories, cultural context, and insights that you can only get from someone who has spent decades on these streets. I'll tell you how the city “works,” with all the important connections. History, art history, automotive history, architecture, genealogy, and Stuttgart's nature, parks, forests, and gardens, as well as sustainability, are my daily work.

Discover Daimler, Benz, Porsche and Bosch with an experienced local driver-guide.
Overview of your Stuttgart tour
Discover Stuttgart's automotive heritage with me, your private driver-guide. Beyond the famous museums, I will share the stories of the people behind the machines: Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Maybach, Carl Benz, Ferdinand Porsche and Robert Bosch. Explore places connected with these pioneers, hear how the Mercedes name came about and discover how Stuttgart became a centre of automotive innovation. My years as a guide at the Mercedes-Benz Museum and my long experience as a driver-guide bring a personal perspective to your day. Visit the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche museums at your own pace, with historical context from me before each visit. Between museum stops, enjoy a private drive through Stuttgart and selected stops at historic locations. We will agree the balance of museums, stories and sightseeing before the tour. Museum admission and meals are extra.
