Hello! My name is Jax and I'm a professional tour guide who's lived in Munich since 2016. Over the years, I worked for two of the best tour agencies in Munich as a freelancer and in March 2021, I started my own tour company 'Heart of Munich Tours'. Over the years I've received hundreds of five-star reviews across Tripadvisor, Google, Getyourguide, Viator, Guruwalk and other platforms. My free tour is also currently the highest rated in Munich across multiple platforms! My guiding style is interactive, passionate, clear spoken, inclusive, fun and at times theatrical. I always bring my tablet on tour to share old photos and pictures to bring history to life. Please note: I do many of the tours and the rest are covered my small team of amazing guides!

As a true Munich resident, I will show you the most exciting corners, the liveliest places and the most charming sides of this city - and with lots of joy and enthusiasm! Whether it's about the hidden highlights, the best photo spots or a relaxed exchange about the Munich attitude to life, the focus of my tour is fun. My international experiences - from trips through Chile, Japan, Australia, South Africa, Europe and the USA - are included. People and stories always come first for me. In addition to my passion for Munich, I like to be active in my free time - climbing, bouldering and mastering new challenges are among my hobbies. With German roots, Spanish temperament and Estonian curiosity, I bring an international mix that also flows into my tours. I speak fluent German, English and Spanish - and a little French - so we can talk in your favorite language. So, let's discover Munich together and have an unforgettable day! 😊

My name is Korbi, I’m 31 years old, and I was born and raised in Munich. Having spent most of my life here, I've had the pleasure of experiencing many local events, including working for many years at the world's largest beer festival, Oktoberfest, and encountering countless amusing situations around the city. After spending a year abroad in Córdoba, Spain, I grew to appreciate my hometown even more. In 2017, I started offering tours in both English and German, and I quickly realized how much I enjoy showing people from all over the world around Munich. After completing a seminar training and examination with the city's oldest tour guide company, I’ve continued to collaborate with them as a freelance guide. I lead a variety of private/fixed price tours, including those focused on the city's history, culinary delights at the market, brewery visits, and more recently, street art. While studying Renewable Energy Management in the nearby town of Weihenstephan, Freising, I wanted to find a way to combine my passion for guiding tours with my commitment to sustainable development. This led me to pursue a master’s degree in Environmental Education in Cádiz during the uncertain times of COVID. In August 2023, I returned to Munich and began working as an independent educator for SWM, the city's main infrastructure company. I focus on projects with schools that promote sustainable development, covering essential topics such as water, heating, and energy. I'm very excited to offer free walking tours in English and Spanish through Guruwalk, where I share the history of Munich and its innovative developments in a captivating and engaging way. Munich holds a significant place in history as the city where Hitler and the Nazi Party rose to power before the onset of World War II. This makes it an important location to reflect on this tragic chapter of our past and to learn valuable lessons for fostering a more sustainable and socially responsible future. I would love to welcome you in my tour :) Hugs and greets, Korbi
