Very interesting and sobering tour of the rise of the Third Reich. - It was the best tour we have ever been on. Josh was the guide and really got into the details of what caused the rise of Hitler and the events that caused WWII. He really brought out how even today we must be on the lookout for authoritarianism so things like this don’t happen again.

A moving story told like a movie - This was an excellent experience — truly positive and unforgettable. Our guide’s storytelling was like something out of a movie. She shared the incredible story of her father, an American soldier who took part in the liberation of Munich. It added so much depth and emotion to the tour, making it not just informative, but deeply personal and inspiring. Highly recommended!

This tour was amazing and... - This tour was amazing and incredibly informative! As an American who was taught about the history of the Holocaust for years in school, I wasn't sure how much I would have to gain from this tour, but I am thrilled to say I learned a lot! The tour focused a great deal on the step-by-step process that allowed for the rise of fascism in Germany, which is something my education glossed over. Josh was a fantastic tour guide who ensured the tour commanded the respect the topic deserves while simultaneously engaging his audience. I have not stopped talking about this tour all day and will definitely be sharing what I have learned with my peers for months, if not years, to come! I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Engaging, Educational, and Entertaining — A Must-Do Tour! - What an incredible experience! Our tour guide Josh brought history to life with such depth, passion, and humor. The stories were fascinating — full of well-researched details — and the lessons felt just as relevant today as they were 80 years ago (shockingly so). It was clear how much care and knowledge went into every part of the tour. Engaging, insightful, and entertaining from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves great storytelling and a guide who truly knows their stuff.

Excellent tour, improved by guide Josh - Our guide Josh gave an excellent insightful, eye-opening, reflective tour on the early days and development of the NSDAP (Nazi) party. You will see many key locations and hear how they helped form this horrible period in history. It includes historical photos of the locations you visit, putting them in context and showing the aftermath and devastation of the liberation. I highly recommend you take this 3-hour tour early in your stay in Munich! It will include recommendations for places to eat and other related museums and attractions to visit. Fairly priced, a nice way to meet fellow English speakers and learn a lot.

Knowledgeable and interesting presentation. - Our guide Josh was excellent; extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. The only draw back is there is a lot of just standing. Slightly challenging for my husband and me with foot, ankle and knee challenges. Still, recommend this tour.

A terrible guide - Very disappointing. The tour was 90% about the guide - Josh - and being very generous - 10% history. He failed to give an informative and coherent account of events and to allow the facts to speak for themselves. His manner was hectoring and longwinded. It was like paying money to listen to an aggressive bar room bore. Eventually having moved about 200 metres in over an hour, and learned next to nothing, I abandoned the tour and visited the relevant sites by myself. Since which time I’ve had several WhatsApp message urging me to give him a 5* review. Avoid.
