About Us

At The Local Experience, we believe the best way to understand a place is through the people who live there.

We’re a family-run, Munich-based tour company, founded and operated by a couple who call Munich home. What started as a shared passion for history, culture, and meaningful travel has grown into a collection of small-group experiences led by knowledgeable local guides who genuinely care about the places they show.

Our tours are designed for travelers who want more than surface-level sightseeing. We keep our groups intentionally small so there’s time for conversation, questions, and flexibility—creating a relaxed, personal experience rather than a scripted one.

We’re also eco-conscious in how we operate. Whenever possible, we prioritize walking tours, public transportation, and responsible travel practices that respect both local communities and historical sites. We believe that good tourism should leave a positive impression—not just on our guests, but on the city itself.

Our guides are carefully selected, professionally trained, and deeply connected to Munich and Bavaria. Many live locally, some have academic backgrounds in history or cultural studies, and all share a commitment to thoughtful storytelling and responsible tourism.

The Local Experience was created for curious travelers—people who want to understand why things are the way they are, not just take photos and move on. We’re proud to welcome guests from around the world and to share Munich and Bavaria the way locals know it.

Experience Munich Like A Local!

Great quick pub tour and history lesson.

The guide really made the tour. Angus was able to get around and engage everyone in the group and drop interesting facts about German and especially Munich’s beer culture. Worth it.

Super fun guide to Munich and its beer.

This was a great way to see Munich's beer gardens, and Lauren was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and fun! Would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about (or just sample plenty of) Munich's beer.

Oktoberfest Tour.

The Oktoberfest tour is a must do. Tim was an excellent guide who was very informative and brought a lot of humor to the day. I would definitely do this tour again next time I’m there for Oktoberfest.
