Thank you Josh - We stopped in Munich on a 9 week tour of Europe especially to educate our 11 and 15yr olds on a history that should never be forgotten, misspoken or misinterpreted. Josh was deeply informed, engaging, passionate, interesting to listen to and very informative. Such important historical lessons to learn with so many parallels to ponder for our next moves today.

Fantastic - Josh was a great educator and orator. I would love to take him back to America to travel and share his knowledge. He keeps the attention of his listeners and provides factual accounts of history.

Great guide but finding the meeting place was difficult. - Guide was very comprehensive and knowledgeable. Impeccable English. Meeting place was hard to find and instructions weren’t clear however.

Third Reich view from a native Munich resident - Josh has a deep understanding of this subject and passes over his knowledge and layers that with the opinions and empathy of a native of this city. Its a heavy tour and no mistake.

Extremely informative just don’t expect a bathroom. - This tour was excellent and Josh did amazing and was very informative. Our only gripe was terrible meeting point stealing people and stashing them under the chapel entrance vs staying out front with a flag or sign etc. & can’t have a 2+ hour tour that turned into 3 with no bathroom or at least a warning to not drink anything or eat.

Good but could have done with more structure and attention to the cold! - Tour had some very interesting points. It was a bit meandering (chronology all over the place, tour guide introduced himself half an hour from the end of the three hour tour). The day was very cold and it would have been much better if more of the tour could have been conducted in more sheltered spots. Several of the group were shivering.

Good tour if you want to hear a tour guides opinion on how Trump is like Hitler - My husband and I have toured several concentration camps, museums, and historical sites around Europe so I was very excited to book this tour for my husband’s birthday to learn more details about HOW the Nazis came to power. Our tour guide, Josh, who at first was overly blunt and borderline rude, lightened up a bit when we started. We spent the first hour in place where we started talking about how long it took the Germans to acknowledge and apologize for persecuting their own people and for the Allied soldiers who died liberating Germany and Europe. Our next two stops didn’t introduce any new information about the Third Reich, but were plaques commemorating lives lost or the Jewish people. We spent 20 minutes in front of a building where he told us who took down the Nazi flag. It could’ve/should’ve been a 5 minute story but he was very repetitive in all of his information which felt like bloviating instead of a detailed explanation. We were eagerly awaiting to hear what the tour description promoised we would hear, the steady rise of the Nazi party. Josh started to introduce this information towards the end of the tour while in the Hofbrauhaus which was already almost 2 hours in. The previous info was information of the Holocaust and how previous generations denied the Holocaust was happening or how Germans were mean to their own people. We know that. Everyone knows that. It became clear at this time what this tour was really about. A warning and comparison of Trump to Hitler. Mr. Josh was not sneaky or pretend to hide his opinion of Trump or what he thought he was going to do. “A country must never elect a convicted criminal.” “Once a leader tries to influence the justice system, the country and judicial system collapses.” “Believe the things radical leaders say they’ll do.” These are only a few examples of what I remember but looking around at the tour group, some were laughing and some were shocked that he was so clearly comparing our past and future president to Hitler. I didn’t book this trip or spend my time and money to hear Mr. Josh’s horrible opinion of our president. He doesn’t know my political views or anyone in that group. It was highly offensive. Especially after the entire tour he touted that all of what he was saying was “based on science.” Yet he took his personal opinion and inserted into what was supposed to be a FACTUAL tour to learn more about the Third Reichs coming to power. I would never recommend this tour to anyone bc I don’t know if they’re all centered around their own persuasion and few new facts and info of the titled tour. I left mad and embarrassed and felt like we had wasted $ and 3.5 hrs (the tour was scheduled from 10:30-1 but lasted until 1:45 when we left before the last stop bc we had lunch reservations at 2).
