I have a passion for history and guiding my guests through the unique cities of Esslingen and Stuttgart. I grew up in Michigan and worked in the aerospace and automotive industries as an engineer. Always curious about my own German heritage, I studied the German language and traveled extensively. Now, I am able to pursue my love of European history, architecture, and travel as at our guide in Germany, with over 8 years of experience. I do my best to provide a enthusiastic and informative historical walking tours of Esslingen and Stuttgart and enjoy telling many stories about these cities. Most of my clients are the result of referrals from previous guests, who have thoroughly enjoyed sightseeing and learning about medieval Esslingen and historical Stuttgart. My area of special interest and expertise is the European medieval period as well as World War I and II. My native language is English, with German as my second language. I am very proud of my consistent "5-star" ratings on different travel websites. On my tours, you will experience these sights from an "insiders" point-of- view and from a local, who lives here and can show you things that you would not find on your own. My guests describe my tours as "enthusiastic, informative and humorous" (well, this opinion may vary depending on one's sense of humor!) I look forward to hosting you on one of my many different tours either in Esslingen and in Stuttgart.
