Hi, I'm Michelle, originally from Michigan in the US. I've been living in Germany for 13 years now and enjoying it very much. I studied English Language and Literature at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I use everything I learned in this study path--the history, analysis, and creative writing to give tours in Bavaria today. I find the Bavarian culture full with heart, and there's never a dull moment here. The castle tours are my specialty, and I've done extensive research on them and Ludwig II. I like to leave my guests feeling as though they knew the king a little personally. We will step into his world and see and feel what his palaces meant to him. I can customize the tours to fit your wishes. When I'm not working, I enjoy my free time cycling around Munich, reading, or writing. When you visit Munich and choose one of my tours, I look forward to a great adventure with you! BA in English Language and Literature from the University of Michigan I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle.

Overview of your Munich tour

We will begin our tour at an old city gate at Karlsplatz Stachus. From there you will discover the interesting beginnings of the city of Munich, how it transformed into a wealthy medieval town, and on to the great European city it is today. You will learn about the longest reigning family of Europe—including some outrageous Dukes and Kings—Munich's survival from numerous plague outbreaks, the devastation the second world war thrashed on the city, its recovery, and how Munich thrives today. You will see how Christianity still dominates Bavaria by the many churches we will see and perhaps visit. We will talk about the famous beer fests, Bavarian traditions and clothing, and not to be missed—we will see firsthand the shining star of Munich's production: beer! at the most famous beer hall in the world, the Hofbräuhaus. I make restaurant and shopping recommendations during the tour. I can highlight some local places the people of Munich flock to, off the beaten path.

What a wonderful tour ! Michelle is an excellent guide. She is full of interesting information. She knows so much history and makes it fun and enjoyable ! She introduced us to some local holiday treats that we wouldn't have known about and loved trying. She really got a sense of our interests and tailored a great tour for our wants and wishes. A plus !!! Truly a highlight of our time in Munich!

Michelle was a great tour guide! This was our last day of our 10 day trip and our group was worn out. Michelle did a great job condensing the walking portion of the tour and included part of a bus tour around Munich. Finally, our group ended at the infamous Hofbrauhaus and she helped get the group seated and assisted with the ordering process of beer and pretzels. What a great end to our trip!
