Alex was a great guide. He gave great information. It seemed like he did some of his own research. We enjoyed learning the history of the area as it pertained to the third Reich.

If you are interested in the history around WW2 then this is the tour for you. We did it on our first morning in Munich so it was a great way to get our bearings. Josh was extremely knowledgeable and an excellent guide.

Tour given with real heart and emotion by Josh…

Edmund_S, Mar 2026

This tour was everything I was hoping it would be and more. Josh was very well educated on the impact this period in history had on the city and the people who were there. You will see a lot of incredibly relevant places that help give you a better understanding of what a significant tragedy this was.

Very interesting tour. The walking is fine (distance & pace) but it gets very cold, so dress accordingly. Our guide, Steve, was wonderful!!! Very knowledgeable!

Must do Third Reich tour

Andrew_D, Feb 2026

Very in-depth look at the Third Reich and Munich. Takes you to all the places of interest and keeps you intrigued throughout. Michael the guide is full of information and his knowledge is second to none. I recommend this tour for anyone who has an interest in this subject and wanting to learn more about the start of Hitler and the rise of the Nazi Party. Two things to note…… Take a drink and snack as there is little time to rest and have a break. Maybe should introduce this. The tour starts in Munich (Marienplatz) itself when personally it should be from Konigsplace then back to Marienplatz…?

Phenomenal Walking Tour

Melissa_G, Jan 2026

Absolutely worth every penny and more. Our guide was named Alex, and you could not good for a more knowledgeable and personable guide. We were treated to the subject matter specific to the tour as well as so much of the rich history of the area. The tour includes at least six locations and covers a lot of events, probably a bit overwhelming for a "beginner" in WWII history or walking tours. I am confident that a beginner could enjoy still, as Alex welcomed questions and dialogue throughout the morning. Alex also pointed out interesting places to visit along the way, suggestion landmarks and museums we could add to our itineraries. My partner and I agreed that Alex handled the heavy subject matter and some tragic events really well. He used honest, factual information and presented details with sensitivity without shying away from the hard truths. He allowed moments for the group to process what we had heard quietly and stand in remembrance and then encouraged discussion and reflection. After the tour Alex was helpful in giving directions and suggestions for the reminder of our stay, which is valuable coming from a local when you are completely unfamiliar with the area! Expert, professional delivery of information and a thorough tour- Tons packed into 3 hours! I would actually happily take this tour a second time on my next visit to absorb more and enjoy another morning in the fresh air.

Great tour!!

Ava_W, Jan 2026

Michael was great! Very informative yet easy to follow. Very interactive and genuine. Would recommend!

Serious tour about a serious subject matter. Josh was very knowledgeable and passionate about the topic,

Very interesting and engaging

Lara_R, Jan 2026

A really interesting overview of how the Nazi Party came to power in Germany and significant locations and events. Josh was a very engaging guide and managed the group well as we moved from location to location. Highly recommend taking this tour if you have no prior knowledge as an overview or as someone who has a strong interest in modern German history to see significant places come to life. It was a wonderful insight into how Germans today remember and come to terms with this dark part of their history.

Great guide and narration with historical facts

Eric_N, Jan 2026

Great experience. I would recommend to be more clear and detailed about the meeting point after the booking process. Currently the detailed directions are buried in the booking process and the goggle pin that is at the beginning of the booking is at the wrong location. We had to asked several folks to find the meeting point.please move the detailed meeting point info at the top of the booking page and have an accurate Google pin in front of the Munich tourist office.

First class tour

A fantastic and informative tour that gets to what happened locally in Munich in regards to the Nazi Party and the Third Reich. A tour that treats the topics with the respect and reverence it deserves. Josh was a fantastic tour guide! A must do if you’re in Munich.

A Must Do With Josh

Lisa_R, Dec 2025

Josh was such an historical story teller and truly brought the rise of Hitler. alive. It was clear he had a lot experience in managing groups in an area highly populated with tourists. We took his tour during the Christmas Market season and there were lots of people to maneuver through but he did an amazing job. It was obvious that he was very passionate about his job. Fantastic tour!
