Hi there, I'm Mathew, and I'm a proud local host in the wonderful city of Munich! As someone who loves the great outdoors, I'm thrilled to live in a city that offers so much green space, from picturesque parks to the sparkling alpine river. But what I love most about Munich is that it seamlessly blends its rich history and culture with its vibrant, modern spirit. I know Schwabing, Heidhausen, Olympic park, and Glockenbachviertel like the back of my hand, and I love sharing my insider knowledge of this city with visitors. Whether it's exploring Munich's bike lanes, discovering its famous beer halls, or finding hidden gems in the city's various neighborhoods, there's always something new and exciting to experience. I'm an expert in the city's complex history and the culture of its inhabitants, and I'm passionate about helping others understand what makes this city so unique. I love photo-documenting my adventures around Munich and sharing my favorite spots with others. So if you're looking for a friendly, knowledgeable guide to show you around this amazing city, look no further!

My reviews

Had a 24 hr layover in Munich and glad I booked this tour. It was like having a friend in Munich that is a history and local expert. Was able to walk old town, see the main tourist attractions as well as try some of the food and drink. The church tower was a good start to understand reference points and see the city from higher up. He will tailor the tour to what you want to do, see or experience. He even helped send me back to the airport on the correct train to save some money on a taxi. Would highly recommend.

Mat helped me find my great grandmother’s villa - and the movie theater she owned. I learned so much! And he had prepared for the private tour in advance. He’s very professional, highly intelligent, and eager to provide the unusual goal I had requested.

Mat was amazing. He is a terrific storyteller and so personable. My son was a college history major and said May knew his stuff! (Which is a high compliment). He is very passionate about the city and was able to share so much about the beautiful city of Munich! I would highly recommend that you schedule this tour on your first day and become familiar with the city so that you can hit the ground running! Thank you, Mat, for an amazing tour!
