Germany has had emperors, kings, revolutions, wars, kingdoms, dictatorships and democracies — sometimes all within just a few generations. No wonder it can feel confusing.

This entertaining 2-hour walking tour through Munich is your friendly shortcut through German history, from early times to the present day — clear, engaging, and with plenty of humor along the way. No prior knowledge required. No textbooks. No memorizing dates. Using Bavaria and its capital Munich as a real-life example, we untangle the big questions: Why was Germany fragmented for so long? What made Bavaria special — duchy, electorate, kingdom? How did revolution, nationalism, world wars and democracy shape the country? And how does all of this connect to modern Germany today?

This tour is perfect for visitors who want more than sightseeing: You finally understand Germany, not just visit it. You gain confidence instead of awkward knowledge gaps. You learn a lot — without it ever feeling like a lecture.

German History for Dummies is smart, funny and surprisingly easy to follow. You’ll leave with clarity, context and a few “Why didn’t anyone explain it like this before?” moments — guaranteed.
