I have been a tour guide in and around Frankfurt since 1975 and have seen and shown all the changes in these decades! It has always been my pleasure to show my area to visitors from all over the world.

No one is more passionate about Bavaria. My love of the Bavarian culture and history has made me an authority on all things Bavarian! I like to relate Munich's rich history through stories and anecdotes. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in German Language & History, am a Diplom Bier Sommelier and am a silent partner of a Michigan microbrewery, specializing in Bavarian beer & food. Having lived in the Bavarian Capital of Munich for over 12 years, I am highly integrated into the culture and enjoy being a part of many Bavarian Stammtisch groups - inluding being the only non-native member of the Aventinus Buam. With this insight, I will help you unlock that magic that is Bavaria!

Landshut has historically, culturally, and architecturally a lot to offer. As a native of Landshut, I'm looking forward to welcoming guests to our beautiful city and discovering and experiencing the history, background, and secrets of Landshut together with you in German or English.
Philipp S.
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.

Munich: The path of Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch
Hitler called Munich the capital of the movement, founding the NSDAP here. On November 9, 1923, he attempted a coup—the Beer Hall Putsch—which failed. After seizing power, the Nazis commemorated it annually. The tour begins at the Hilton Hotel Munich City, where the Bürgerbräukeller once stood.

What is the best way to travel around Germany?
The train (InterCity Express) & local public transportation is by far the most superior method of transport in Germany. For cross country travel, the high speed IC & ICE trains (Deutsche Bahn) are ideal. With that said, trains in Germany can be late/delayed from time to time, so take that into account.
Within cities, cycling is a peaceful and convenient form of travel.

Are Germans friendly to tourists?
Absolutely! Germans are very welcoming and hospitable to those visiting their nation. From Berlin to Cologne, they are known for their warm, welcoming nature.
To keep yourself in good standing with German locals, keep the following in mind
- Pay attention to & obey recycling prompts.
- When you’re invited to a German home, a nice bottle of wine or flowers are a great way to say thank you.
- Stay away from German stereotypes (thinking Germans are stiff necked, cold, calculated people). It simply isn’t true and will be dispelled from the moment you land.
- Avoid pictures & lighthearted behavior at historically painful sites (Jewish Memorials, WW2 Centers & Concentration Camps).
- Keep time. One thing Germans value is their time. So be mindful of the clock wherever you are, and stick to scheduled meetings & reservations.
