No one is more passionate about Bavaria. My love of the Bavarian culture and history has made me an authority on all things Bavarian! I like to relate Munich's rich history through stories and anecdotes. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in German Language & History, am a Diplom Bier Sommelier and am a silent partner of a Michigan microbrewery, specializing in Bavarian beer & food. Having lived in the Bavarian Capital of Munich for over 12 years, I am highly integrated into the culture and enjoy being a part of many Bavarian Stammtisch groups - inluding being the only non-native member of the Aventinus Buam. With this insight, I will help you unlock that magic that is Bavaria!

Franz S.
In 2005 I was looking for an additional part-time job and began guiding. I quickly realized that being a tour guide is even better than being a Travel Agent. In 2007 I followed my passion and became a full time guide. I haven't regretted it yet. Travelling is education in a passive way. One is taught habits, rules, food etc. are different everywhere. This helps me today, working with a variety of people as a guide. It's my pleasure now to take you around our most wonderful sights and spots.
