Josh was such a great guide!! It is easy to see how much he loves sharing his knowledge. This was such an interesting and informative tour designed for those interested in factual history.

We can’t say enough good things about this tour and our tour guide, Josh. We learned so much and appreciate his candor and insight. Truly a great perspective and must-do when in Munich.
JianLi_C, Jul 2026
Learnt a great deal about the history of the Third Reich and WW2 in Munich. I highly recommend it to anyone who's interested in such history.

I personally found the tour guide (Josh) very off putting. He was insistent that no one even have their phone in their hand, even closed and not being used, whenever he was talking. Even though my phone was completely closed and not at all open, he refused to continue the tour unless I put my phone literally in my pocket. I'm always concerned about pickpocketing and so prefer to have my phone gripped in my hand. His narration was also off putting to me as he often used very corny and cringy humor and took 10 minutes to explain what could be said in 5. Also, there was far too much lecturing and not enough movement or interaction. I literally left the tour early as I thought it was that poor quality. I would NOT recommend this tour with this guide.

This is clearly a sensitive topic for many people and Josh addressed it head on. Very detailed knowledge of the subject matter and Josh has a passion for the issues involved.

Alex was informative, thorough, interesting and able to answer a wide variety of questions. Also--very kind. Enjoyed every minute with him!
Sabrina_F, Jun 2026
Our tour guide, Josh, has always done an amazing job providing an impactful tour through his storytelling and passion of history and remembrance. A delicate balance of dark history ans hope.
We have done this tour twice now, and each time have learned something new from Josh. He truely loves to persistently teach and reflect!

Josh was extremely knowledgeable and easy to understand. He presented facts in an interesting way, enhanced by the physical backdrop of key sites.
Edward_V, Jun 2026
Unforgettable experience—Josh is the best guide in Munich!We spent two weeks traveling around Germany, and Josh’s Munich tour was the absolute standout. His exceptional knowledge of the city's history, particularly around WWII and the Third Reich, kept us completely captivated from start to finish. He is a phenomenal storyteller and an outstanding guide. Do yourself a favor and book a tour with him!
Juan_O, Jun 2026
Informative, thorough, guide was knowledgeable, tour was short. it set the tone for what happened next.
Mitchell_G, Jun 2026
This tour was an amazing experience. Not only does it take you to and into a number of historical sites but it explains how and why many major significant events of the era unfolded.
The guide (Josh) put much of the history we’ve learned about the rise of the Nazi Party in a new perspective — using data to challenge historical claims about “why and how” the Nazis came to power but also peeling away some of the falsehoods the Nazis created to “whitewash” their horrific deeds, propaganda that has persisted to this day.
But the biggest impact of this tour was to use the history of the Nazi movement to better explain how extremists within a democracy from any “extreme” can destroy a democracy from within — which is exactly what the Nazi Party did. It was a brilliant tour. I wish it had been longer.
Jill_F, Jun 2026
This is not just a historically important and interesting tour, it is brilliantly succint and educational. Josh works hard to make it equally enjoyable and accessible for everyone.
KimVilkaitisOhrns, Jun 2026
I learned so much on this tour. Our guide, Josh, was terrific at presenting the material, and had quite a few large historical photos to further elevate the experience.
Laleh_S, Jun 2026
Josh gave us a phenomenal educational experience. This walking tour is for anyone interested in learning the truth about the Third Reich and the historical string of events that led to its rise and fall and the consequences of it.
Josh’s dynamic presentation humanizes the story of the Third Reich by stating facts and explaining the geopolitical and social circumstances from its inception to the inevitable demise. My teenage son who wasn’t sure if he’d know enough about the history of WWII to really understand the tour was completely engaged and interested throughout.
Well done, and thanks Josh!
Michael_A, Jun 2026
It is a walking tour to areas rather than inside buildings. Narration was very good. The tour lasted 3 hours- rain and shine off and on.
David_P, Jun 2026
Fantastisk speaker Josh, provided a relevant point of view thru the historical facts , without directly referring to the times we live in
Tim_A, Jun 2026
Did this walking tour with my wife and two friends we’d met from Australia. Josh was incredibly informative and clearly passionate about the history. I thought a three hour tour covering such a dark period would feel very heavy, but Josh kept the pace flowing so well that the time flew by. He managed to convey both the atrocities and the moments of hope with real clarity and respect.
We all learned a lot, and this tour, especially with Josh as the guide, is highly recommended.
Will_M, Jun 2026
The tour provides a great history of the old town area and its role in WWII, specifically the rise and fall of the Nazi party. Josh was our tour guide, and I must say he was excellent. He did a great job at explaining Hitler’s uprising and the Nazi party and how it shaped Germany, and how it is still being resolved today. I made this tour one of the first things I did when I arrived to Munich, and it served as a great orientation. This is a must do.
Helen_M, Jun 2026
A most informative tour with eyewitness anecdotes from the guide’s relatives making the historical information come alive. Bridget’s explanation of historical events was delivered with clarity and insight and clearly came from a deep knowledge of events and personalities in Munich, especially. An honour to be guided by Bridget.
Andrew_C, Jun 2026
Highly informative and interesting. Josh was clearly an expert in German history and a friendly and humorous guide. Highly recommend!
Catherine_B, May 2026
We learned a lot about how the third reich came about. New information that was easy to understand and put into perspective. Josh was very knowledgeable and knew how to deliver the knowledge in an entertaining manner.
lisahenden, May 2026
Josh was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Great tour that covered the history in a sensitive and accurate way.
Tracey_M, May 2026
This was my favorite tour. A wonderful introduction to how Hitler and his cronies came to power. A history lesson that was not in the least bit boring and gave insightful and interesting anecdotes. Danielle-the tour director-was superb!
Shari_M, May 2026
Josh has deep subject matter knowledge and passion about the topic. that makes his tour educational and compelling.
Joy_P, May 2026
More history than walking during this tour, but that was fine with us. Our guide, Josh, was very knowledgeable and had some great pictures to show us, so we could compare past and present.
Katherine_S, May 2026
Josh gave a memorable history lesson as well as a life lesson. We will remember forever! Would highly recommend.
Christine_N, May 2026
Josh was a fantastic tour guide. The tour was excellent, we learned a lot. I really appreciated the seriousness & tone of the tour as the subject matter is dark at times. Overall a worthwhile experience!
Mahua_G, May 2026
