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.

Julian gave us an excellent tour. He covered the history of Germany while we toured sites in Munich. He summarized the origin of Germany from the 200-300 tribes of Germanic people, Charlemagne, the Thirty Years war, the HRE, Unification and Reunification and more. All explained very logically as we did our four hour tour. We even stopped at Cafe Dallmayr for some delicious coffee and pastries. It was the best tour I’ve ever been on. I’d give him six stars if I could.

We had a wonderful day with Julian exploring and chatting about Munich mostly outside the Old Town. We heard wonderful stories, had great conversations and learned about not only the history, key spots but also about Munich today! The best part was we had a fun along the way! We would highly recommend Julian for anyone who wants to understand and learn about Munich and Bavaria,

Julian was born and raised in Munich. He was so knowledgeable. While we learned about the city and the history, we were able to talk about culture and current affairs. He was an amazing tour guide. We had a wonderful day.

Julian was great giving us lots of great information about Munich. He went out of his way to share different perspectives of the history. He worked hard to keep us out of the sun on that hot day, paid special attention to my hearing difficulties, and provided a great dinner recommendation. We really enjoyed spending the day with Julian and highly recommend him.
