I am a British born, Australian artist and tour guide, living and working in Munich since April 1997. From 1985 to 1988, I studied Fine Art at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Australia and moved to Munich in April 1997 to continue my art practice here. Travelling is a passion of mine and I have travelled extensively throughout Europe, Peru, Mexico, Cuba and India and I find one of the great joys in life is meeting new people and learning about history and culture in different countries. For these reasons I found tour guiding to be the perfect job for my passions, interests and personality! My love for the city of Munich and interest in it's fascinating 860 year history, led me to eventually work as a tour guide for various tour companies and agents in Munich and Bavaria. I relish showing off my "adopted home" to all my friends and visitors as Munich and Bavaria have captured my heart and my senses and it is such a pleasure to share my love of this wonderful place with people. "Tailor-making" a tour to suit my visitor's interests and wishes is what makes my job varied and fun. . . . . and the best part of the job is to receive such wonderful feedback from my happy and satisfied customers. Since 2002 I have also worked as an "officially accredited" guide for the DACHAU CONCENTRATION CAMP MEMORIAL SITE, where I am committed to telling this tragic history and offering a learning and unforgettable experience to those who visit Dachau. My customers have not only been regular tourists, but also school groups. I have had the great privilege to meet survivors and American liberators on my tours who have shared their moving stories with me and this has been a valuable experience for me as a tour guide. As a freelance private guide, I operate exclusively in Munich and the surrounding region of Bavaria and Salzburg (Austria). I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience of Munich's rich and colourful history and the beautiful, intoxicating surroundings of Bavaria with you, and hope you can join me soon on one of my individually tailored tours. I will ensure that I make the most of your time here in Munich so that you will experience as much as you can while you are here so that you will enjoy an unforgettable experience! "OFFICIALLY ACCREDITED" guide for the Dachau Concentration camp Memorial Site since 2002 Bachelor Of Fine Arts - Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne/Australia 1985 - 1988 I am not a driver but I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange a suitable vehicle with driver. This can be a 6 seater mini van or a 30 - 50 seater tour bus.

Overview of your Munich tour

On my guided tour of Munich not only will you get to visit all of Munich's "Highlights", but as a local who has lived in the city for over 20 years. . . I can also show you my own personal gems that I have discovered since living here. . . hidden spots that tourists do not venture to, film locations that are unknown to most visitor's an if you are up for a bike ride and the weather is permitting, we can take leisurely bike ride out of the city centre to some of the local suburbs and trendy areas off the beaten tourist track. You will no longer feel like a tourist in a foreign city but a guest of mine who I love to show around my adopted city! We can stop at one of my favourite cafes en-route or grab a home made ice cream at my favourite ice cream stand. This tour can be completely "tailor made" to your own personal interests, combining "Third Reich" sites, architecture and trendy neighbourhoods. . . . depending on your personal taste and wishes.

We did a city your of Munich with Maxine at the beginning of the month and it was fantastic. She has loads of information and an easy way of sharing her knowledge without seeming overbearing at all. Maxine also has an uncanny knack for making sure her tour group is comfortable, not only from a pace point of view, but also something simple like standing in the shade rather than blazing sunlight while she's describing something. All in all she's a great tour guide and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

Maxine was a wonderful tour guide and really helped our family of 6 acclimate well to Munich and its customs! She kept everyone engaged and interested. Thank you Maxine!

Maxine was wonderful! She provided an interesting overview of the history and origins of Munich and well as details about the rise of Hitler and the aftermath of the war. She is interesting, thoughtful, and nicely balanced the tour with interesting stories and recommendations about things to do, eat, and explore on our own including her personal favorites at the Christmas markets. I am a big fan of Tours by Locals and Maxine is one of the very best!

Maxine was fabulous! She was well prepared and made her presentation so entertaining with stories, that it brought history alive. I was with my family, and they thought she was the best guide we had our whole trip. I highly recommend her.

Maxine is an excellent guide and we appreciated her accepting the last minute tour. Her knowledge of the area and the history was awesome. If we're ever back in Munich we'll definitely reach out to her again to see other areas.
