About me

" The best thing we have from history is the enthusiasm it arouses." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 -1832)

For me, history has always been something fascinating. No matter whether short anecdotes, fabulous stories, fairy tales and legends or “true” events. The mysterious, the profound but also the bizarre thing about the story always fascinated me. 

Even as a young brad, the old city of Lucerne magically attracted me and i kept spotting new details that immediately grabbed me. But this fascination didn't just apply to Lucerne, but everywhere my travels took me. I am particularly fond of mystical Great Britain. 

But how did I come to offer historical tours? Well, I love sharing my discoveries with those around me and I enjoy making people wonder, laugh and think with stories and stories.
As in every story, there was “the day” when I made my debut as a “historical tour guide” in Lucerne, giving a tour to kind-hearted friends on an extremely hot August day. This was the starting point of a passion that will hopefully stay with me for a long time and with which I would like to offer many people from near and far a wonderful, historical adventure. 


I already have many more ideas for tours and am always looking for new stories and places, whether in or outside Lucerne, and I enjoy making contacts with other tour guides worldwide. I also learned a lot in Nottingham from my valued friend (and “mentor”) Ezekial Bone. 

The magic of it all is that history is being made every second. We are all part of history, learn from it (unfortunately often too rarely) and pass it on. 

What are you waiting for?
So follow me and immerse yourselfe in the story!

Yours sincerly and with the blue feather ahead

A common calling!

I have met many tour guides on my travels, taken part in their tours and enjoyed them, learned from them and made contacts. 


My goal is to network with other people who share this passion so that i can recommend them to others. Because it is a community - a truly global round table of tour guides!
