Munich Macabre Group Walking Tour
Overview
This weekend, Munich celebrates its 868th Birthday - with a special event over the weekend with music and special events.
This weekend, take a unique hands-on historical and archaeological tour in English, researched and created by British archaeologist and historian Taff Simon. Get to sample authentic medieval beers and handle original and reproduction artefacts.
.
This is not a cheesy ghost and spirits tour – all the events – every single bone-crunching last one of them – actually happened.
Join Hans von Spanker (or his good pal Taff) to discover the awful truth about:
The Black Death and other nasties
Jewish history, trade and the influence of the Guilds
Dress and how it reflected class and standing
Medieval architecture and defences
Infamous witch trials
Ancient burial rites
Why was beer so important? Try an authentic medieval brew!
Get to handle original artefacts and (blunt) weapons
Archaeology in Bavaria today
And much more dark history...only with Taff Simon
What's Included
