I am a guide for more than 20 years. If I can touch your senses, thinkings, feelings - if you say after a tour with me: "It was great", "You gave me aspects to think about", "I will not forget the tour with you", "It was astonishing", "It was a once in a lifetime experiences", "I never thought about that the way you showed it", it would be fulfilling, then I have done my task. I love to get to know people. All my life I've lived in an intercultural way. It is fasinating to get to no cultural differences and commons. The basis for this is to show my city, my country with their history, anecdotes, cultures, traditions, specialties. Our present developed from social, human, political, economical, cultural, religious processes and whats in between them. So as a historian I like to show the presnet mirrored by the past. But, having said that, you, my dear guests and guests, and your interests are the core. You want a great day in Munich, you wanna spent your time with history, culture, arts, religious heritage, local traditions and cuisine or similar aspects or maybe with a combination of the ones named here. If I can be of help for you with to have such an experience I would be honored. I worked as a tour, adult and youth exchange organisator and conductor for more than 20 years at the Dialog Institute, Zichron Yaacov, Israel. I have a Magister in history having studied general (mainly European) history and history of the Middle East at Haifa University. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Michael is a lovely person, a most knowledgeable guide on German and Jewish history. He is fluent in Hebrew as well as German and English. His walking tour gave a concise history of the rise of the 3rd Reich in Munich, including the courthouse where students of the White Rose opposition were tried, the spot where Kurt Eisner was murdered in 1919, the memorial to the synagogue destroyed in 1938, the Odeonsplatz where Hitler staged his failed putsch in 1923, the Nazi and headquarters building, as well as current aspects of fashionable and artistic Münich. Michael is the perfect storytelling guide to much of what we would otherwise not have seen. Our own visit another day to the Document Museum of National Socialism gave further depth to our understanding of the history that Michael had told in such a vivid way. We highly recommend Michael as an outstanding tour guide to Münich!
