Guide #63323
Hi. I was born in the heart of England and after graduating in history and archaeology from the University of Wales Bangor I spent a few years working as an archaeologist and historic conservator in some of the U. K's grandest castles and manors. I moved to Munich 12 years ago and since then I have worked as a tour guide covering all aspects of local history, from Munich's medieval origins to the Nazis. Over the years of working in I have developed a special interest in the local brewing history and beer drinking culture and as well as the history and palaces of the royal family. Medieval history and the early years of the Nazi's are also passions of mine. On my tours I love to look beyond the typical and delve more deeply into Munich's fascinating history and culture by showing my guests it's grandest palaces, hidden gems, traditional beerhalls and as much as we can squeeze in on a tour. My aim is to show you the best of Munich and provide for you an unforgettable day out.

Tom is a knowledgeable, easy going guide. As luck would have it, Munich was experiencing a severe heatwave which could have easily taken much away from our experience. Tom, however, ensured that we stayed hydrated and used cooler spots along our tour for short respites from the heat. There’s no a/c in aging palaces! As for the tour itself, Tom was very knowledgeable...

June 2026Hello. Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review. I'm glad you enjoyed your time in the Residenz, (even though it was a bit stuffy in places!)
We had a wonderful tour with Thomas, who was very well informed, super interesting, and had a terrific sense of humor. We’ve toured a lot of palaces in our day, but he really made this one come alive for us with his broad knowledge of history, architecture, and the cast of characters. We’re so glad he included a visit to the Cuvillies Theatre, which was stunning. Thanks...
