"Grüß Gott" in München
... and Welcome at Josef Tours München!
Josef Tours München - An Introduction
Basically, I am Bavarian and geologist. The connections between our culture and our landscape made me curious to discover my homeland from a specific point of view already in the early 1990s. Ever since, I have explored Bavaria’s major attractions as well as forgotten places on numerous tours.
Bavaria looks back on a long history from Celtic and Roman times over the 738 years rule of the Wittelsbach dynasty to the modern state. And each period left its traces. Bavaria takes you along to unique palaces and churches, treasures, dramatic biographies, an overwhelming landscape, our famous inns, and a lifestyle that is as traditional as modern.
As a professional city guide in Munich and certified tour guide in Bavaria I’d like to invite you to discover Bavaria from a local’s point of view on my individual tours - to major attractions, off the beaten path or at your own pace.
I am at your disposition as private guide or tour leader for your group.
Bavaria is exciting. Come with me.
Yours,
Josef W. Wagerer

Complete Tour & Event Management
For Single Travellers, Larger Groups, and Travel Agencies
I’ll gladly assist you in any issue regarding your tour to Bavaria and offer complete planning and management of your individual tour. Let me know your special wishes and I will arrange everything from planning to reservation, transport, entrance fees, lunch and dinner locations, and recommendations for accommodation.
With my long-term experience, I have excellent connections to bus companies, hotels and restaurants, and tour guide colleagues.
Gladly I also organize your events in Bavaria as cultural frame programs for conferences, and the like.
Have a look what Karlsruher Institute for Technology (KIT) wrote in 2019:
In June 2019 the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) had a 4 day business meeting in Munich with 45 international participants in the field of energy research. We had a loose idea what kind of events and places we would like to put on the agenda for the accompanying social-cultural program of the meeting and chose Josef Tours München for further arrangements. Josef Wagerer was responsible for the refining and detail planning of this agenda and has excelled our expectations: He arranged everything, from bus transfers, reservations and tickets, appropriate walking distances, lunch and dinner locations (including fish, meat and vegetarian menu options), experienced supporting guides (due to the size of our group), the payment up to the final bill which met our dedicated budget - and held a couple of tours himself, e.g. Walking Tour Munich, Herrenchiemsee Castle, and Munich for Insiders. Josef Wagerer is a trustworthy guide who reflects the Bavarian spirit in a likeable way and shines with his explanations, background stories, historic insight, and deep knowledge. His English is superb and you won’t regret having a beer with him.
I can highly recommend him for organization and conduction of cultural frame programs in Munich and around.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
