    In 1919, Germany was emerging from World War I as a defeated and humiliated nation with Munich in the grips of hyperinflation and Bavaria dominated by revolution and assassination. Out of this fertile soil of chaos rose the Nazi movement and one of history’s most powerful dictators, Adolf Hitler. Join us to explore the dark side of Munich’s history as the birth place of Nazism. Follow the growth of the movement from its first mass meeting at the Hofbräuhaus, to its failed attempt to seize power at the Feldherrnhalle. We take you to the site of mass party rallies at Königsplatz and stop in the Hofgarten to talk about The White Rose resistance movement. The tour covers all important facts and sites that played a role in the origin of this dark chapter, that ended with the beautiful city of Munich in ruins.

    Meaningful and impactful.
    Michael was a great guide, giving us a lot of historical data. There was ample time to visit and see what we wanted. Dachau is a place that everyone should see, for the impact, for the history and so that the atrocities are not repeated

    Great food tour
    Thomas was an excellent guide through the market. He was very knowledgeable and had interesting facts about the history of Munich and of the food we tried. Come hungry as you will try lots of food and definitely leave stuffed. Highly recommend this tour.

    Sad but necessary
    Very positive and organized experience. We were a little worried about the train ride, but the guide was very helpful giving us all the details in advance and making sure everyone knows what to expect. We liked the fact that although giving a lot of historical information, we also were given some time to look at the site at our own speed.

    Perfect adventure in Munich⭐️
    First things first, our guide Corbin (Corby), was really great. So friendly and knowledgeable. He was able to impart lots of historical information about the many sights we saw on our extensive ride of Munich Center and surrounding areas. The English Garden portion of the tour was my favorite- so beautiful. This tour was a perfect way to get a feel for the City of Munich. Plus the bikes we rode were first rate, comfortable, manageable and in excellent working order. Take this tour if you get a chance. 5 Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Too slow, not much biking.
    Sorry to say whe did not enjoy our bike tour. A waist of time. The group of 24 people was far too big. Very nice people to meet, from different countries, mostly Dutch, all in town for the Adele concert. Peter, our nice Austrialian guide, a very lovely old man, but not qualified for a bike tour. Give him a walking tour with max. 10 people, who want lots of history information and you will be fine and enjoy it. Not a bike tour. It already took about 45 minutes to get to the bikes, because he was talking too long about the environment and when we got on them, everybody was amazed how slow it was going. The whole tour was not far, and whe already walked most of it before. We wanted a bike tour to see more, instead we saw what we could have walked easily. At the lovely park, all 24 bikes had too be locked with one big lock, to get a drink or a lunch. We easily could have skipped this all, everybody was complaining. This is not a bike tour. Lovely town, really lovely guide, but whe wanted to ride our bikes, and faster too. People where running by, because whe where that slow. We saw other bike tours, just stopped for a short time and off you go. That's the spirit.

    Fabulous tour.
    Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, was able to answer the many questions that were asked and provided in depth information about the site, the status of the camp before, during and after the war and an overall view of the horror that went on at this location. We feel that we definitely left there knowing more than we would have learned without the guide.

    A lovely few hours on two wheels
    A great way to see the beautiful city. Unfortunately I was one of 26, and ended up being the back rider - which meant i got left behind on occasions. Please provide a back rider if you are going to accept such large numbers.

    fair
    I thought our guide was very informed, but I was disappointed in the tour. I know there were mass graves and realize that a good part was dug up and possible sent to family, but I'm sure there was some still buried there and I would have like to see it and pay my respect. I think because of the length of the tour we were not able to stop at each memorial to review, which I would have liked to do. I think that if I had done the tour on my own I would have learned more by just reading all the info. I also got the feeling that our guild was sterilizing the info so as not to make it as bad as it really was during that time.

    Great guide and experience.
    Our tour guide Aleks was amazing! He was very informative and open to all questions and conversations. He had a very cheerful and welcoming personality yet was able to deliver the information appropriately. The length of the tour was perfect to see all the elements of the camp. I would definitely recommend this tour as although the camp itself has lots of information boards/signs having the guide made it so much more immersive as he had his own binder of extra information. The transport there and back was also easy to navigate especially with our guide.

We were hesitant to take this tour, mostly concerned with how the subject of the Third Reich would be handled but it was a good tour. We had seen many of the sites on a prior bicycle tour but Josh our tour guide provided much more in-depth information. He is very passionate about the subject and presented it in a professional manner.
Josh is a bit eccentric at times in the way he deals with his guests. If you try to take pictures or video while he is talking he will tell you to stop, but he provides time later for pictures before moving to the next site. He even told a guy to stop taking written notes because it bothered him. I asked him a couple of questions which he did not immediately answer and seemed put out by it, but eventually my questions got answered.
Overall the tour was very good and Josh did a good job explaining the material.

Josh, our tour guide, was amazing. He shared a panoramic perspective of many historic sites in Munich and helped us consider why the Nazi party rose to power, sharing historical context and insightful patterns that we might recognize in some world leaders today. He also took incredible care of us, as it was pouring rain during much of our tour. Because he knew the city so well, he was able to find alcoves and covered breezeways to gather us around to share stories and historical pictures about the sights we were seeing. We all stayed relatively dry! An excellent, educational, engaging and enlightening tour. 5/5 stars (or dots) for sure!!! Thanks again, Josh!

This was Radial tour through Get My Guide. The tour was in English with an excellent Aussie guide called Scott. We stopped at around 8-10 important sites over 2.5 hours and were impressed by the knowledge and passion of the guide in telling us all about the build up to world war 2. Highly recommended and good value.

Phenomenal tour with Josh. Both myself and my 15 year old son were hanging on Josh’s every word the entire time. Such an important subject presented in an easy to understand and thoughtful way. As a former teacher of history Josh’s desire to educate and inform was clear. In New Zealand we are taught about WWII and the holocaust but this tour introduced us to a new perspective and offered explanations (not excuses) as to why the atrocities that occurred happened and why it took so long for things to change after the end of WWII. I highly recommend this tour and Josh.

I was expecting a tour that focussed on buildings and locations of significant events relating to the rise of the nazi party. However it seemed to be more focussed on why the third Reich was bad and didn’t really spend much time on how the events related to real time locations. I felt like I didn’t need to be in Munich to receive this talk. The guide also seems quite confrontational and me and my partner didn’t feel particularly welcome by his reception.

Most pathetic experience ever and I left midway after an hour or or so and for that one hour there was no walking at all considering you say it’s a walking tour. Also all that happened was the guide talk and show us historical
Photographs from a collection which they had… I mean if I had to just hear him talk and watch these photographs I’d rather do the same on YouTube or Google. And TBH people were bored…I mean it’s a walking tour make us walk show the sites , we are not there to attend your lecture or see photographs from an album which we can see anywhere …
Don’t book it if u think there’s going to be any walking.
And I’ve had walking tours so I know what I’m talking about

Kind guide with a lot of knowledge about the 2nd world war and the influence of Hitler in Munich. We walked about 3 hours through Munich along important places were there was a story to tell about the life of influence from Hitler.
The guide was open to questions and took his time to tell his story.

My son and I enjoyed the tour. We had already been in Munich a few days but would have had no idea about the dark past associated with many of the buildings and landmarks we passed. Our guide, Danielle, did a great job of describing the events that transpired in Munich during that horrible period of history, including explanations and contextual information. Highly recommended for those interested in this important but disturbing era.

Josh was a wonderful guide - informed, courteous, and enthuastic. The tour itself was fascinating, and often quite moving. Stopped at a dozen or so sites from the Third Reich, plus a plaza dedicated to the victims of the Nazis, and ended at the US forces memorial at Neues Rathaus in Marienplatz. Josh’s explanations were clear and unflinching. He does not sugarcoat. Honestly can’t recommend him enough. Our tour ran a little longer than advertised - it was a very hot day and we took it slow - but no one seemed to mind.

Our guide Josh, was very professional and knowledgeable about the information that he shared, as well as, being sensitive to the children who attended. The stop at the Eternal Flame was very meaningful with the moment of silence. Thank you Josh for sharing how easily good people could take such a terrible turn when pushed ever so slowly. May we never forget.
