Michael was an excellent guide, explaining everything very well & keeping us interested. Very good at answering individual questions.
Great food /restaurant recommendations at the end & we went & experienced one. 10 out of 10
Very interesting look at WWII history, our guide Ulrich was knowledgeable and friendly. Wear comfortable foot wear, about half of the tour is walking from point to point. There was only a couple of stops where you could sit. Not a vigorous pace for most people.
The tour guide, Joshua, was not very nice. He was knowledgeable. However, it appeared that the tour was a waste of his time and he didn't want to be there. There was a tone in his voice and he treated the adults like there were disrespectful children. In addition, the tour was 3 hours without any comfort breaks. Finally, pictures were limited because he didn't want to be captured in anybody's photos. I have been on many tours and I am a retired school teacher. However, I have never encountered anything like this. There was just no respect to anyone in our tour group. What a disappointment.
Interesting and thorough. We appreciated the honest take by a local Municher. Bit scary to see how the past repeats itself
Our tour guide, Josh, was fantastic! He was passionate about the history of the Third Reich. Josh provided information that only a person from Munich could share. He made comparisons between the Nazi government and present day without judgement. I would highly recommend this tour with Josh. Also, if you are going to Dachau, take this tour first. It gives you great background information.
Josh, our tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable about this dark chapter of Germany's history. You will learn how, why and where things took place in Munich. Would highly recommend it!
Josh is an outstanding knowledgable guide. Left the tour really understanding the dark history of Munich and the nazis. Josh is sensitive with the information without holding any punches.
The tour led by Josh was so informative and insightful. Josh not only delved deep into the history of the "how" the Third Reich came to power and how the Allied forces ultimately defeated them, he added color to the time that was very helpful in understanding "why" the Nazis seized power during a turbulent era. By dissecting the way in which the Nazis used the three Ms (manpower, marketing and money) of the authoritarian playbook, Josh provides insight into what is happening to so many democracies today. That makes this not only a history tour, but an essential lesson in trying to protect ourselves in today's world from these forces. If you are in Munich, book this tour. You will come away better for it.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable but the overall experience was not pleasant. We walked VERY fast from one location to the next. Then the group stood and listened for a long time, then off again at full throttle. No sitting or water breaks for 2.5 hours. Other tour groups in our vicinity were seated on benches and listened to the guide. I learned a lot but overall an unpleasant experience.
Josh our guide is incredibly knowledgeable. Amazed at the level of historical detail, 20 stars!!!!!!
Josh was fabulous. We learned so much information about the history of this beautiful city. Loved it!!
I highly recommend this tour. Josh was entertaining and knowledge. It's a history tour with ties to the current political climate.
This was a fantastic walking tour. Josh was so incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the subject that I'd recommend this to anyone who has a genuine interest in this period of history.
The guide rambles about things not relevant to the tour, repeats himself multiple times, did not have anywhere for customers to sit during the tour.
Very informative tour, Josh was great & gave us lots of information! The best tour we did! Highly recommend this subject & tour guide!
Josh addressed a tumultuous time in Germany’s history in a very thought provoking way. Excellent and very informative.
Our tour guide, Josh, was excellent! Very knowledgeable and gave lots of fascinating information. Would highly recommend this tour with Josh to anyone!
Josh was amazing. He is easy to hear and understand and he takes the time necessary to give everyone a thorough tour.
Josh is an expert on the history of how the Nazis got their start. He is a history researcher and knows his stuff. This tour is highly recommended if you want the truth about the Holocaust.
Our guide was Josh, and he was the perfect person to lead this experience. His passion for and dedication to educating people about one of the most significant times in our world’s history is remarkable. He was engaging, charming, and very open. It’s a fantastic tour, and I highly recommend everyone to experience it.
This was so good!
Josh was excellent, engaging and very knowledgeable. He led the tour with the gravity it deserved. As 4 guys travelling to Munich for Oktoberfest, this was an important tour to ground us in Munich’s dark history. Thank you Josh
Josh is extremely knowledged. History buffs will adore this tour. Teaches 101 of nazi regime and its origins
Our tour guide was Josh and he was amazing! He brought this part of history to life. Josh filled in some of the gaps that we didn’t know or remember. He was very knowledgeable and professional with a great personality! We liked how he brought us to the places where meetings or events happened. He pulled out pictures from that era with explanations. Great experience!!
Josh was fantastic. His knowledge of the subject was amazingly deep. He was able to find some levity in a heavy topic.
The tour guide moved very quickly and appeared unaware of people who couldn't keep up with him. The content needed to be more developed.
What an excellent and informative tour! Truly an eye-opener. Josh was beyond excellent and full of knowledge. Very passionate and entertaining as well! We also appreciated him relaying and explaining all the history and political lessons from the past, and how this can easily to the world now in 2026 and in the future. You cannot see Munich without doing this tour!!! Very worth it!!
Tons of great information- very professional. Really brought history to life and related to current events.
Josh was great! An informational tour about the history and Munich, as it is where it all started...
3+ hour tour covering the beginnings of the German movement. Josh was a fast walking,, talking machine telling the facts without concern for PC. Great information and a no nonsense tour.
Josh did a great job. His knowledge and passion for history was evident. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody visiting Munich.
