Exceeded expectations - The tour was extremely informative and our guide Josh kept our attention throughout. He was extremely passionate about the subject and, while the tour was slightly longer than expected, he gave us important details about each site. It was very good value for money, especially given that we had a lot more time than expected.

I learned so much on this tour! - Our guide Josh, gave us a fantastic tour through the history and evolution of the third Reich in Munich. He was really knowledgeable about all aspects of the time period, and how things meshed together, and the effects on the people in Germany. He spoke about his country with such force and passion that at times it brought me to tears. Bravo! We thoroughly enjoyed the 3 hours and learned so much.

Thoughtful, educational and interesting tour - Josh gave us a thoughtful tour with images, sound and videos to give us a better understanding of the topic and to set the mood. We did see many places in the city and got a good explanation of what happened where, why it happened and what happened. The way Josh presents the tour and handles the topics is fascinating and he act as a role model for others. If I should point out some minor improvement’s I would say the tour is a bit too much adapted towards Americans, we sometimes end up standing in one place for too long and perhaps it could be wise to give a better overview by using a simplified map to explain the situation when allied forces arrived in Munich or the bombing.

It’s a really detailed... - It’s a really detailed overview of the circumstances that led Germany to war and the key places in Munich where nazi instigators, supporters and the german resistance walked. The guide, Josh, was exceptional.

Tons of information! - Super great way to dive deeper into Munich’s history. This tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the information digestible in a fun way. Our guide, Josh, was battling ongoing noise disturbances from city activities and handled it with such ease and grace. He made sure to interact with the crowd and answered every question. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking to learn more about WW2 and the radical regime.

Excellent tour - The tour was excellent for our family. Our guide, Josh, dealt with the difficult historical facts with both honesty and care. He was knowledgeable and engaging, taking time to guide us through our stops and answer questions. We were so glad to learn about the facts but also to appreciate the gravity of the subject matter with the tone set by Josh. Highly recommend Josh as your guide.

Interesting and well pitched - Josh did a great job of explaining the history of the 3rd Reich in Munich and bringing in some interesting perspectives - well paced and enjoyable for a serious subject. Only suggestion is to please be clearer where to meet in Marienplatz for the walk - it’s a big and busy place with lots of other groups milling around.

- This is the worst 'walking' tour I have ever experienced. Our guide, Josh, was incredibly rude, repetitive and condescending. He also had a bizarre fixation on mobile phones. If you are so upset about being recorded maybe don't choose a customer-facing profession like tour-guiding. In any case most of us were pretty bored and I personally left early. This tour was very expensive and I want my money back! Also you should definitely fire Josh. Every bad review on here is about him!
