Josh makes history live! - Josh is passionate and he has deep knowledge of details about this history. He keeps the story telling simple and specific, within the context of place and doesn’t miss out essentials. Knowledge of details helps him to exposit with clarity; doesn’t distort it. There is one thing, wish he could explain better - how did such a formidable sprouting of technologies take place in about 15 years. This included nuclear fission and rockets, synthetic fuel, even gas cans! But then his focus was only on the place, just few square miles and he does make the place come alive in our imagination.

Fascinating insight to the history of Munich and the Nazi regime - This was a fascinating insight to the history of Munich and the Nazi movement/regime, including the brave souls who acted in resistance. Our guide, Josh, was knowledgeable and passionate. A timely reminder not to let loud voices and group think intrude on 21st century civilisation.

Left tour—guide control freak. Not a walking but a standing tour - We were four professionals and one well behaved child eager to learn about WWII in Munich. Our guide was fanatical about our keeping everything said a secret. Required no phone use or photography and no note taking. At one point he reached over to cover a woman’s watch that was on her folded hands at her waist!!! She wasn’t even glancing at it! We stood in a very large group at the starting point for far too long with so much noise from touring school groups that we could barely hear him. Hand-held whisperers were definitely needed for this tour! He spent many minutes having us vote on the direction a four-minute piece of information would take to convey, when both options were nearly identical. Took many minutes in seeing to it that only women could sit on the minimal available seats. Could have easily covered it all in the crazy time wasted. Twice he gave us a lecture on how underpaid tour guides were and the importance of tour-end compensation through gratuities. By the second time he gave this mandate I was the only one of our party remaining and I chose to walk away as well. Reviews for this tour were fabulous, but I must assume our guide was a new hire.
