Join us to see the Munich Residenz, one of the crown jewels of Bavaria. Originally a fortified keep it was transformed into a renaissance palace by Bavaria’s rulers and over the next four centuries became one of the largest and most beautiful palaces in the world. Besides being a home the Residenz was also centre of Bavarian government, intrigue and power politics from 1508 to 1918 and over the centuries it has seen dukes, kings, poets, emperors and revolutionaries pass through its doors.
On your tour you will be guided through it’s glittering halls and see the magnificent art works and architectural masterpieces that the Residenz is famed for while your expert guide explains about the history of the palace, the royal family and the, sometimes, scandalous daily life at court.

5.00I had visited the sights before but with Tom’s private guidance I found out so much more and learnt much of a wide variety of subjects. He was very sympathetic and clear with all the vast knowledge and could tailor a lot of things to my background and interests.
Wonderful tour!

5.00Tom was an excellent tour guide. He was knowledgeable and charming and answered all of our questions. Walking through the palace was so much more meaningful than listening to an audio tape. We highly recommend this to anyone who wants an in-depth tour of an amazing palace.
Great Guide
