Location
Frauenkirche
Frauenplatz
We’ll meet outside, right in front of the entrance to the Frauenkirche cathedral. Look for me — I’ll have a tablet slung over my shoulder, so I’ll be easy to spot. The easiest way to get there is by S-Bahn or subway (U3/U6). Simply exit at Marienplatz station and enjoy a pleasant 10-minute walk.

Architectural Highlights Off the Beaten Path - An extremely interesting tour led by a very knowledgeable guide. At the end of our week in Munich, I was afraid this tour might cover the buildings in Old Town that we had already seen -- it did not. We saw the exteriors and interiors of a number of churches taking us from Roman times to Art Nouveau, with explanations, context and stories. Included were photos of the damage from WWII and info about how the churches were rebuilt. We ended with a bridge and a modern museum. Philipp's enthusiasm for and knowledge of his topic were much appreciated. We really enjoyed this tour!

An Unexpected Gem of a Tour!! - Philipp was an excellent tour guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. Before attending, we were concerned that the historical buildings of Munich would be very limited due to the destruction of WW II. Instead, we were delighted to see both the inside and outside of surviving buildings from the last five hundred years! Philipp was very knowledgeable and engaging. He answered all our questions with deep knowledge and understanding. A very enjoyable tour... well worth taking!

I found Philipp’s tour... - I found Philipp’s tour exceptionally curated and insightful. His passion brought Munich’s architectural evolution to life, from Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque to modern. We crossed the Isar River on an Art Nouveau bridge, explored hidden gems, and enjoyed great views—making it both super interesting and fun. Philipp’s clear, engaging style makes it perfect for all, whether you're an architecture enthusiast or just curious. Highly recommended!
