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.

Overview of your Munich tour

Join us on a fascinating and thought-provoking private tour in Munich that delves into the origins of Hitler, the Nazi Party and their rise to power. On our tour you will learn just how a bohemian dropout became the ruler of the most advanced state of its day. To do this we will take you on a historical journey through the streets of Munich, exploring the city's rich history and significance in the Third Reich such as the beerhalls where Hitler gave speeches to memorials commemorating the Nazi's many victims. Using images and historical documents we will discuss topics such as the impact of the World War One, the treaty of Versailles on Germany. Plus the estotoic origins of the Nazis themselves and the causes of their toxic antisemitism. Daily life under Hitler will also be examined as will local resistance to the Nazi's, the fate of their victims and the destruction of the city in WW2.
