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.

Visit the birthplace of the child prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the places where he ate, drank, and performed in Salzburg. Share the magic of the sights used in the most famous of all musicals, the Academy Award-winning (yes! 5 Oscars) "The Sound of Music". Salzburg is listed amongst UNESCO'S World Heritage Sites, a glorious city with a rich 2, 500-year history……the former archbishopric (Archdiocese) of the Prince Archbishops, who held the authority of the Pope north of the Alps. Salzburg will intoxicate you like no other city, an absolute "gem" of old European charm and glamour. It will be a day that will remain in your memory forever. One of the highlights of this tour is enjoying local cuisine at the World's oldest restaurant dated 803AD. I can reserve a table and it will be an unforgettable experience. Salzburg is one of my favorite cities and I will look forward to showing you my favorite hidden gems that most tourists do not see.
We had a wonderful day with Maxine. The tour was excellently planned and we learned a lot about Salzburg and it's history. Maxine also took us to an outstanding restaurant. We could not have asked for a better day and private guide. Thank you Maxine!
Maxine our Tour Guide was fantastic. The day trip to Salzburg was worth the time. Such a beautiful city. Thank you Maxine, we had an awesome day
This tour was great! Maxine was full of knowledge and energy. We saw so much in Salzburg! I would definitely recommend!
We loved Maxine!! We had a wonderful day touring Salzburg, Austria. Our tour started with a train ride from Munich- Maxine had all the tickets and made travel easy. She is so knowledgeable of the city and shared so much history with us. Maxine made our lunch reservation at St Peter's- the oldest restaurant in the world- and the food was delicious! We would not hesitate to use Maxine as a tour guide again!
You won't find a more knowledgable guide than Maxine. She was also so sweet and friendly, so basically just the perfect guide. Salzburg is beautiful and well worth the trip. Be sure to have lunch at Europe's oldest restaurant, the food and atmosphere was great. Maxine had the train and bus tickets planned perfectly.
MAXINE answered my emails promptly and her replies were always honest and not self-serving. I knew I was getting a pro! She was more than happy to meet our group of 12 at our hotel and she was on time. Her enthusiasm is contagious and she delighted our crew with her stories and life as a sojourner. She has the skills of a teacher using technology to engage her audience and asking questions to get us thinking. Her delivery was even paced and knowledgeable; never boring. Personable, caring, AND outgoing!

we will travel by regional train for 1 hour 45 minutes from Munich to Salzburg, a beautiful journey through the Chiemgau and Salzburgerland regions. From Salzburg station there is a 5 minute bus ride to the stunning Mirabell Gardens and from there we will be strolling leisurely through Salzburg. The historical centre of Salzburg is pedestrianised, flat and easy to walk around.
