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.

A Journey Through the Middle Ages
Overview of your Munich tour
Join us on a private tour back in time to the vanished world of a bustling medieval town where merchants haggled with dukes and priests offered eternal salvation for the right price. On our tour you will discover Munich's surviving medieval architecture and handle items from day to day life while you examine many aspects of life in a medieval city from the power of the guilds, how law and order was maintained, the conflicts of religion and the disaster of the Black Death. Learn about the daily struggles of local citizens in the town and see the castle where the Emperor Ludwig IV kept court and ruled the Holy Roman Empire.
Your Munich tour itinerary
We begin our tour at Marienplatz, the heart of the city and the centre of commerce in medieval Munich before we proceed around the city centre looking at important sites within the old town linked to the medieval world such as the Cathedral with the tomb of Emperor Ludwig IV to the best preserved medieval gate in Munich where you will learn about how a walled city defence was organised and paid for as well as examining surviving local houses and looking at how regular people lived in this harsh yet colourful period.
