"Anecdotes from Original Locations" is the title of my Munich travel guide book. I specialize in Bavaria, Germany, and neighboring countries. By car / foot / segway / bike / metro / tram. (Stop Inflation: Pricing from 2019) To travel - not only means trendy districts and sights, but also the darker corners where subcultures arise and where the real birthplaces of typical dishes are (e. g. in Munich: White veal sausage, Prinzregenten cake, Hofbräu beer . . . ) - I'm an international tour guide. In addition to general city tours, I offer combine special theme tours about food+beer, 'death', history, modern architecture, anecdotes, religion, art, mystic, Hitler. Tours within Munich are 2,5-4 hr; outside Munich 5-12 hr or multi-days. Just name you special theme! - I started tour guiding in the US and Europe during my University time. My knowledge of country and people is based on my MA degrees in Geography, Anthropology and Urban Planning. - I write books (travel, fiction and non-fiction [see: warmstrand.de]) and participate in filming. - SPECIAL: I am the first person to circumnavigate the earth by electric car and electric bike (LINK: https://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhein-main/mit-dem-e-bike-ins-guiness-buch-der-rekorde-15174664.html) - University Bonn (Master in Geography) Thesis: "An economic traffic-concept for the city of Bonn" - Tourguiding for national and international companies.

This was a great tour, and we really enjoyed it! We learned so much about Munich and its rich history in 3 hours. Bob was very knowledgeable and accommodating to our interests. He went out of his way to ensure that all of our questions were answered. My 3 daughters (ages 22, 21 and 18), wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We highly recommend this tour!

A fantastic lost places experience, Bob was accommodating, insightful and exciting to hang around with. He made sure everything was safe and was attentive to every need. I would highly recommend this to any lost places enthusiasts - certainly a unique tour that is not for the faint of heart.
