Hello and "Grüß Gott"! If you are curious about my hometown, I would love to pass on my enthusiasm about this beautiful city to you! Having been born and raised in the south of Germany, I was lucky enough to have moved to Munich about 25 years ago. Ever since I have been living here with my husband and my two daughters. After having studied business administration I worked in the finance departments of International Companies in Dublin, London, and Stockholm. Wherever I could I joined locals to show me their home. Finally in 2014 I decided to completely change my life and to make my dream come true: To become a tour guide myself! I qualified with the Munich Tourist Board and trained to be a licensed guide for the Dachau Memorial Site. I love to interact with my guests, regardless of whether international tourist groups, school classes, short-term city hoppers, history buffs or culture seekers. It does not matter if you want to discover the well-known sites or to get to know the city off the beaten tracks. I will always help you to see behind the obvious. Because I also love to show Munich locals around their neighbourhoods, I do not merely focus on the historic city centre, but also on the different quarters which all have a certain appeal and tell you a lot about our city and its inhabitants. Being a big fan of Munich's "Gemütlichkeit" myself - this is what we call the feeling of relaxing in one of our traditional beer-gardens or socializing with friends in our beer halls - I am sure that we will be able to chat far beyond the Bavarian kings, the Munich Monuments or our city's rich heritage of history. I would be more than happy to turn your trip to Munich into an unforgettable experience. Looking forward to meeting you in Munich!

Discover Munich's Route to become the former "Capital of Nazi Movement"
Overview of your Munich tour
If you are interested in Germany's World War II history, this tour is a must. We look back into last century's early years and try to understand what happened in the 1920s and 1930s when Munich became the so-called "Capital of Nazi Movement". Let us follow Hitler's years in Munich, see how the Nazi-party developed into a mass movement and discover major buildings and sites which played an important role back then. Some of the old Nazi buildings survived the war and I would love to show you how they are used today! Of course, we will also talk about Munich's destruction during the last years of war and about the liberation through American forces. I will show you how my city was rebuilt into what it looks today, and we will try to understand how modern Munich has dealt and of course is still dealing with this heavy legacy. Although the answer of "How could this happen?" will be hard to find, I would still give my very best to show you how Munich played a key role on the Nazis' path to power.

We recently took a three-hour guided tour of Munich, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, providing insights that truly brought the city’s rich history and vibrant culture to life. From the moment we started, it was clear that our guide was passionate about Munich. She effortlessly adapted her presentation to suit the interests of the tour participants, making each story relatable and interesting. Her easy-going personality made it comfortable for everyone to ask questions and engage in discussions. The tour covered significant historical sites, including the stunning Marienplatz and the impressive Residenz. Each location was accompanied by captivating anecdotes, making the history feel alive rather than just facts to memorize. What impressed me most was how quickly the time flew by. The combination of educational content and entertaining delivery made every minute enjoyable. I left feeling enriched and with a deeper appreciation for Munich. If you’re looking for a tour that is both educational and entertaining, this is the one to choose. It’s a fantastic way to explore the heart of Munich while learning from a guide who truly knows and loves the city.

Natascha F.United States
I am not sure you can find someone so humble, knowledgeable and patient with the rapid fire questions our group had. Grit is enthusiastic and made the tour very memorable. We only regret not booking additional sites and time with her. We are already talking about booking our next visit to Munich where we can work with Grit again. Grit feels like a lifetime friend and you won't regret working with her.

We had a wonderful tour with Grit. We loved at a pace that was perfect for our small group. We learned a lot and it sparked discussions among our family long after the tour ended. We are grateful for her insights and knowledge.
Your Munich tour itinerary
I am more than happy to pick you up from your hotel in the city or meet you on Marienplatz. Since most of the former Nazi monuments will be in walking distance, we will be able to understand this part of history by passing - famous Hofbräuhaus - Feldherrnhalle (where the famous beer hall coup ended in 1923) - Munich's old city hall where the so called 'Cristal Night' was sparked off - Maxvorstadt with the former "party district", Königsplatz as a key rally ground, Hitlers former office building and today's documentation centre of Nazi history If you want to include sites of resistance like Munich's University buildings or the former "House of German Art", still a museum today, please do let me know and we can extend the tour accordingly. The same applies if you want to visit places of Jewish heritage.
