I love Munich and the region around us, including the beautiful alpine lakes and the soaring cliffs of our Bavarian Alps! Munich is an architectural museum, a global economic and business outperformer, the home of world-class music of every kind, and the site of literally thousands of years of history, from the Celts to the Romans and Germanics, and through our 13 bad years of fascism into the modern era of peace and democracy. Let me tell you stories of triumph and tragedy, atrocities and atonement, kings and castles, and modern Germany - or any topic that occurs to you as we go. I have made it my business over the 40 years I have been resident here to live and breathe these topics every day. I would love to show you round this gem of a city or the picture-book sites in our neighborhood. Native English and fluent German. 40 years resident in Munich. Highly knowledgeable and experienced.

This is a walking tour as our Old City is almost entirely Pedestrian Zone. If need be, we may make a short public transport or taxi connection. If your hotel is not walkable from the city center, just let us know and we will make a plan to get you there!
