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.

We had a great experience on our tour in Dachau, Germany. Our guide was incredibly flexible, knowledgeable, and friendly, making the entire day both smooth and engaging. Simone's insights and stories added real depth to the visit, and her warm personality made the tour genuinely enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Simone was a wonderful guide. She is so knowledgable and anticipates questions we have. She is so engaging and personable. We shared our thoughts with her about this very somber tour, and she was so supportive. She is very intuitive and we felt as we had known her for a long time. A special day!

Simone was a very high quality guide with a great demeanor and very effective communication. The tour was very well paced and dealt with very difficult subject matter in a clear and very informative way. Everyone should experience this tour in the hope that we never allow history to repeat itself.

My family of four which includes my wife, 22 year old son and 20 year old daughter took a half day tour of Dachau Simone. This is obviously a very emotional place to visit. Simone did an amazing job of guiding us through Dachau and giving us all the dark history of what took place on those very grounds. Simone did a great job of tastefully giving us all the information but being sensitive about it at the same time. My family and I really learned a lot from this tour. I would recommend Simone's tour to anyone wanting to learn more about this concentration camp and get a first hand experience of Dachau. Simone is a great guide and even better person.

Simone is a very talented and knowledgeable guide. Stopping at important landmarks in Munich enhanced our background understanding on the way to Dachau. Simone’s explanations of the Memorial Site during our visit gave us a firm understanding of a very difficult subject. Most importantly, Simone’s empathy gave us much hope for our future.

Excellent! Simone was wonderful! I knew that this tour would be difficult and I was hoping to have a little bit of emotional support while learning about something that I believe people should not forget. Simone was the perfect guide. I felt immediately comfortable with her. She was so knowledgeable, while being kind and understanding. I am so glad that she was with me during this emotionally challenging tour. Thank you Simone!
