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.

Enjoy a pilgrimage to Koster Andechs: Nature, History, Spirituality and Beer
Overview of your Munich tour
Our tour offers a memorable day in one of Bavaria’s most scenic and unspoiled areas. For over five centuries, this stunning monastery has been home to Benedictine monks, continuing the traditions of hospitality and beer brewing that you can enjoy today. On the scenic train journey through the Bavarian countryside, you will learn about Andechs’ rich history, from its origins as a castle for the Counts of Andechs and their captivating story of rise, betrayal and downfall to its transformation in 1455 into a Benedictine monastery. The history and tradition plus the daily life of a monk in the monastery will also be explained. Afterward you can hike a medieval pilgrimage route with wonderful views of the countryside or take a bus if preferred and at the monastery, explore the stunning Baroque church, then relax in the beer hall or beer garden with a monk-brewed beer and locally sourced food. There is also an optional extra to view the reopened baroque apothecary on a VR tour
