What you’ll do

You’ll join one of our local Munich hosts to go back in time (figuratively, we haven’t worked out how to do it literally yet) and discover the city’s history. 

This is not your average history lesson though; forget struggling to keep up with names and dates, your host will show you the city’s history instead, as you visit the Neo-Gothic Neues Rathaus, the Baroque style Nymphenburg Palace and darker aspects of its past as you visit landmarks associated with the rise and fall of Hitler and Germany’s Third Reich, like the building where Hitler first joined the Nazi party and the former Gestapo headquarters.

Having a host by your side will bring these spots to life, and you’ll hear some unique stories that only a local would know. If you’re interested in one period in history or you’d like a more broad overview, just let us know and we’ll do our best to make it happen!

    Stefan is the ultimate guide in Munich! We absolutely recommend him in the event you choose this tour. His knowledge of architecture and history is just fantastic. Very patient with our group of Seniors. Good sense of humor and just very likable as a person. Giving him more than 5 stars!!!

    Stefano’s stories of each building, garden, and walkway brought the city to life for us. As first time visitors we know we want to come back.
