Munich: Third Reich & WWII Tour Walking Tour

Take a 2-hour walking tour of Munich to discover one of the darkest moments in the city’s history, learning of the birth of Nazism, the rise of Hitler, and the infamous Third Reich.

Follow the inception of Nazism, from the first mass meeting at the Hofbräuhaus to the failed attempt to seize power at the Feldherrnhalle. You will go to the site of party rallies at Königsplatz, and stop in the Hofgarten to talk about The White Rose Resistance Movement.

Josh, a former researcher and teacher, brought a deep understanding and perspective to a very difficult topic of the start of the Nazi terror regime in Germany. Our tour was in fluent English. Whether you are interested in history or not, Josh explains with his perspective and poses questions many of us have about this era and its long shadow over modern Germany. Passionate and insightful. Highly recommend this Munich city centre walking tour.

The tour was excellent! Josh was extremely knowledgeable and gave a fair and balanced view whilst maintaining the right level of sensitivity.

Josh had many interesting insights and a real passiom for the topic. Josh always took care of everyone's comfort

We are very pleased with our tour guide, and his extensive knowledge of the history and culture of Bavaria.
