Hello, my name is Jason Eilers and I was born in Chicago, studied history and married a German. The slightly longer version is that I grew up in Macomb, Illinois, got interested in history while living in Atlanta, and made my first trip to Europe in 1997. Surprisingly, before I'd even set foot in Germany I met my wife in Barcelona. I spent three years teaching History and German in the US and finished my M.A. in History before we returned to Germany.

I started working as an English-language tour guide about 8 years ago for companies in Munich as well as directly for the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial site. My wife, Dagmar, is originally from the Nuremberg area and I explored the city in my free time on our holidays and weekends there. The more I got to know the city the better I liked it. Although the Third Reich sites are the initial draw for some people, the city has 1,000 years of fascinating history, fantastic architecture, welcoming people and a bit of an independent streak that I could identify with. I started wondering why there were no day tours of Nuremberg available for all the visitors staying in Munich and no regularly scheduled tour in English that covered the Third Reich history of the city at all. So I started them with the help of Radius Tours in 2008. The customer feedback has been wonderful, and the whole experience very rewarding for me personally. I've met people from all over the world, get to show them amazing places and share some stories and history. I hope you enjoy the website and hope to see you on the tour too.

Have a good trip!
