Hi, I'm Brigid! I have a deep love for Munich, a city that’s both vibrant and peaceful with its beautiful blend of history and nature. What I adore most about Munich is the stunning architecture, the stylish buildings, and the way nature seamlessly surrounds the city. I’m especially fond of spending time in its many parks, strolling along the river, or enjoying a cold beer in one of the many traditional beer gardens. I know the areas of Odeonsplatz, Hofgarten, and Marienplatz inside out, and Altstadt, Nymphenburg, and Solln hold a special place in my heart. I love sharing Munich’s hidden gems—places off the typical tourist trail—with visitors. Whether you're after a charming café, a historic site, or just the city’s unique atmosphere, I’d be thrilled to show you the best of what Munich has to offer!

My reviews

We had a wonderful 1/2 day tour! Brigid was a great guide, and interacted well with the whole family group - ages 10-73. She took us to the top sites and the not-so-well known sites, each with plenty of interesting background. She kept the children engaged, and provided history and context at each site. As a bonus , we learned how to use the Munich public transportation system, which can sometimes be a bit intimidating for tourists. We heartily recommend Brigid!

We had such a wonderful time on our Munich city tour with Brigid! She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s rich history, but she also has a warm, engaging way of bringing every stop to life. From the grandeur of the palace to the charm of Marienplatz and beyond, we got to see so much of this amazing city and learn stories we never would have discovered on our own. Brigid kept the pace perfect, answered all our questions, and even shared some excellent brewery recommendations that we happily put to use later. If you want a tour that’s both informative and fun, Brigid is the one to book!

Our tour guide was Brigid and we felt she did met all our expectations. We did four hours with her on a rainy Sunday. She did everything we were looking for in the tour. We wanted a “feet on the ground” look at Munich. We were not looking to get in depth into anything on this day, but rather see what was what. We had created a list of 10 places that we might like to look at and Brigid did great hitting those as well as offering additional suggestions and complimentary options for future days. She also had answers for all our historical questions. She provided eating recommendations which was something we were looking for. We were pleased. We booked this tour less than 24 hours before the selected meeting time. Honestly expected to receive an email saying “sorry, no tour guide available, here’s your refund” so the fact that we even got a tour was great. That we covered so much on our list was phenomenal.
