Hi, I’m Victoria. My love story with Munich started over 10 years ago, when it became my hometown and opened to me the treasure trove of its history, whispering to my ear its centuries-old legends and best kept secrets.

So I am always happy to help you experience the city in all its plentitude, so that by the time you will have to leave you will already be missing the welcoming Bavarian capital.

Victoria = The best tour guide for Munich!
Victoria was a very detail oriented tour guide! I loved that she brought her iPad full of pictures and videos to help us see what buildings and people from the past looked like and compared to the building that stands now. Her enthusiasm showed throughout the whole tour and was upbeat which made such a pleasant tour. Her knowledge about history came with ease and was easy to listen to! I can’t forget the stories of Munich because they were so interesting. I cannot rave about her enough and the tour itself because it was such a good time. Thank you, Victoria, for letting me experience Munich in such a way! :)
