The guide was very friendly and curious, well informed and interesting. The pacing of the tour is excellent and you get the feeling there is no rush, there is always time to ask questions. We live in Munich and have visited a couple of places on the tour before , but the guide has given a new light on these by drawing you into the rich history. Highly recommended for both tourists and locals !

Danielle was amazing. Really knowledgeable on the history of the Third Reich and the events that took place in and around Munich but also what led up to the events and the key figures in WWI and II. Could not recommend this tour highly enough. It gives you a great over view of a large city as well as the history

We booked this tour for our teen, who is really into history--specifically WWII. They said: "It was really good, I learned a lot of things and found it quite easy to ask the guide questions. It was quite informative and covered a large breadth of history."

Really interesting tour, small group and our guide Florien was brilliant - personable and super knowledgeable. Would highly recommend

This walking tour was very informative and insightful. The guide was very knowledgeable and joyful.
