A heavy tour but incredibly informative - This was a respectful and informative tour. Our guide Josh was great at conveying the sensitive truth and history of the Third Reich, its impact and how this can be seen and felt in Munich and further. He was very informative and we are grateful for the deeper understanding we now have. It’s a heavy tour but absolutely worth it.

Third Reich walking tour of Munich - led by guide Josh - I was visiting Munich with friends on 1st May 2025. I had signed up for the tour online. The tour was led by Josh. We visited some interesting locations in Munich - Marienplatz, Hofbrauhaus, Odeonsplatz & Konigsplatz. Josh is a very knowledgeable & intelligent guide who clearly knows his subject inside-out. Not afraid to air controversial views & also keen to let his audience have their say. Having visited Auschwitz, I was particularly interested in the fate of the Jewish population of Munich in the 1930s. Josh explored this topic in depth with painful & emotional photos to back up his descriptions. I totally recommend this tour to anyone visiting Munich. I will be visiting Munich again next door & intend to take the tour again. Well done & thank you Josh

Excellent - We signed up for the 3rd Reich Tour with Josh. The tour was very interesting. Josh provided us with a very comprehensive, informative tour covering history that is undoubtedly very sensitive. His expertise was very apparent. Josh displayed great sensitivity in covering this dark time in history ensuring he focused on the human spirit and how we can sometimes lose our way but have hope that positive human spirit will prevail.

Great tour to help remember history - The host was very nice, but she raced thru the information. The host brought history back to me and things I once knew were again fresh on my mind about the atrocities of war and the evil people behind it. Need a better warning about how much walking is involved. I thank her for always trying to walk on the shady side of the street.

Fun, unique look into a devastating history - Unique way to understand how the bad guys came about. It was nice to walk around the city in such a different way, avoiding the pitfalls of selfie sticks and vloggers

An okay tour - Josh took us to the important sites in town in relation to the tour and was very knowledgeable. At times, he seemed distracted when providing his information (watching everything around him rather than eye contact with the tour) as he rushed some key points. He often flicked through his photos looking for the right one then only showing them quickly to the group or not reaching everyone in the group. I liked his touch with the music played at the memorial site. Overall an okay tour.
