Nice to meet you. Born in Munich in 1966, I have lived here with my family most of my life. At the age of 16 I had the opportunity to spend two years in California. An experience that has influenced my life ever since. Not only did I learn (and learn to love) the English language and the friendly and relaxed atmosphere, it also broadened my view on both my hometown and origin. Being a tour guide is such a rewarding job, as I love to meet new people from all over the world and show them MY Munich. Strolling around this city is really fun and all the famous sights are quite close together downtown! There is so much to discover: the Gothic Frauenkirche, the Glockenspiel at Marienplatz, parks and palaces. . . Or would you like to try a glass of beer at the Hofbräuhaus, eat out in one of our famous Beer Gardens or go shopping at the Viktualienmarkt, a beautiful market where you can find the finest cheese, spices, fruit and vegetables, flowers and local craftsmanship? One of the top sites is of course the fairy-tale castle of Neuschwanstein in the Alps. I could take you on a day-trip through the wonderful countryside and show you the castle, picturesque villages and amazing churches on the way. But Munich also played a sad, important role in the rise of the Third Reich. During my tour of Dachau I will also show you the related sites in Munich for a deeper understanding of this dark era. When giving tours, my approach is always to give you a very personal, private tour and therefore an individual experience. It's not the amount of sites we "tick off", it is about why this church has been built, who is the king that turned his dreams into stunning reality. I want to show you my cultural heritage and let you be part of it. Being a licensed driver guide I can pick you up conveniently at your hotel and I will be with you throughout the tour, accompany you in the castles and also guide you at the destinations we visit, so you can simply lean back and enjoy! No matter if you are here for just a short period of time or a whole week - I will show you this wonderful city at your own pace, according to your wishes. Please feel free to contact me for any further information. Looking forward to meeting YOU! - Ausbildungslehrgang Reiseleiterin (Tour guide Travel Training Course) - Chamber of commerce degree: Certified Chauffeur - Commercial Driver's Licence allowing the transport of up to 8 passengers - Licensed guide for the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial The Bavarian castle administration does not allow private tours in some of the castles (such as Neuschwanstein e.g.). I will accompany you during the tour but a licensed guide will give the tour.

In four hours we will see the highlights in the historic centre like the medieval court and the Renaissance castle of dukes and kings, a Gothic church and a Baroque Jewel, the medieval salt and grain market and today's colorful Viktualienmarkt. Furthermore we will take a short trip on the tramway to the Maxvorstadt, a quarter that was constructed in the early 19th century and became Munich's art district but was also Hitler's centre of power in these dark times. Munich and its 850 year old history have so much to offer, let me show you the highlights and give you the background information so the sites will get a meaning. As Goethe put it: You only see what you know.
Simone was so helpful and informative! We have a very large family with older and younger kids. She was able to keep everyone engaged and answer all their questions on their level from teens to kindergarten. I would highly recommend her for your visit!
Simone is such a great guide and did an awesome tour with me and my wife. We're both from Munich so it was even more impressive that she was able to give us a view on the city we never had before. Thank you
Simone was a fantastic and very personable tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Munich's top twelve sites with her! Her detailed historical knowledge of Munich was outstanding and provided valuable context to the sites we visited. If you are in Munich, don't miss the opportunity to take a private tour with Simone!
I booked Simone for my clients that were traveling on a private guided tour this past May. They absolutely loved the tour with Simone, and found her to be very personable and very informative. I will definitely be booking her services for my clients in the future.
Simone was terrific ! We arrived 24 hrs later than planned ( airline cancellation ) and was flexible enough to take us out the following day. It was a rainy day so she pivoted quickly and created a combination public transportation/ walking tour for us of Munich. Immediately we could tell she was passionate about her subject and incredibly knowledgeable. She provided a quality and memorable tour ! Anyone going to Munich should consider going out with Simone!
Simone did a great job!
- walking tour through the historic centre - short trip on the tramway or metro to Maxvorstadt - with more sites such as "Athens upon Isar", art district, and what remains of Hitler's former centre of power - thorough introduction to Munich's role in the Third Reich
