I am a British born, Australian artist and tour guide, living and working in Munich since April 1997. From 1985 to 1988, I studied Fine Art at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Australia and moved to Munich in April 1997 to continue my art practice here. Travelling is a passion of mine and I have travelled extensively throughout Europe, Peru, Mexico, Cuba and India and I find one of the great joys in life is meeting new people and learning about history and culture in different countries. For these reasons I found tour guiding to be the perfect job for my passions, interests and personality! My love for the city of Munich and interest in it's fascinating 860 year history, led me to eventually work as a tour guide for various tour companies and agents in Munich and Bavaria. I relish showing off my "adopted home" to all my friends and visitors as Munich and Bavaria have captured my heart and my senses and it is such a pleasure to share my love of this wonderful place with people. "Tailor-making" a tour to suit my visitor's interests and wishes is what makes my job varied and fun. . . . . and the best part of the job is to receive such wonderful feedback from my happy and satisfied customers. Since 2002 I have also worked as an "officially accredited" guide for the DACHAU CONCENTRATION CAMP MEMORIAL SITE, where I am committed to telling this tragic history and offering a learning and unforgettable experience to those who visit Dachau. My customers have not only been regular tourists, but also school groups. I have had the great privilege to meet survivors and American liberators on my tours who have shared their moving stories with me and this has been a valuable experience for me as a tour guide. As a freelance private guide, I operate exclusively in Munich and the surrounding region of Bavaria and Salzburg (Austria). I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience of Munich's rich and colourful history and the beautiful, intoxicating surroundings of Bavaria with you, and hope you can join me soon on one of my individually tailored tours. I will ensure that I make the most of your time here in Munich so that you will experience as much as you can while you are here so that you will enjoy an unforgettable experience!

    Maxine is an outstanding guide! Her knowledge of Dachau's history runs deep. She struck exactly the right balance—providing thoughtful, informative context as we walked through the site while remaining sensitive to the immense suffering and gravity of what happened there. Her approach is flexible and she was easy to communicate with before and during the tour. Maxine's...

    Maxine is an excellent guide and I would highly recommend her for your tour. She is friendly, very knowledgeable and provided many interesting photos with corresponding stories. We learned many new facts that we did not know about Dachau and the local community prior to, during and after World War II.
