Due to the fact that we are entering our quiet season, we have no more small group tours this year: we do however of course still offer exceptional private walking tours.
On this small group tour you will see sites associated with and learn about:
The end of the Great War and the Treaty of Versailles; how subsequent economic chaos played into the hands of extremists, both left and right, Communist and Nazi.
The origins of the Nazi Party
Private armies: Birth of SA and SS and their left-wing counterparts
The infamous “Beer Hall Putsch”
“Crystal Night” and the origins of the Holocaust
The impact of WW2 on the city
And much more besides
Note: Unlike some tours which despite being advertised as small group, just pile on extra people, we draw the line at ten adults.
Cost: €50 per person. €5 discount for students (of any age), seniors (65+) and serving or ex-military and first-responders
Meeting place: We meet you at Isar Tor – one of the medieval gateways, just 5 minutes from Marienplatz.
When?: This is a morning start; 9.30 am except during Oktoberfest which sees a 9 am start (If we or you have an afternoon table booked, this gives ample time to finish the tour and make your way to the Fest grounds)
We generally take a quick break in a pub or beerhall with a connection to this period. (Refreshments not included)
To ensure that you get a tour with unique insights that goes at your pace be sure to book in advance.
Interested in booking this tour but have a question or two? Send us an email with your preferred date(s) and we will get back to you within 24 hours. Due to the demand for private tours, we can’t run the group tour everyday – we will however try our best to accommodate you.
This tour is fully illustrated with period artefacts and generally runs to around 3,5 hours, although we don’t watch the clock like a hawk.
Bringing the kids? If your child is studying this is school, if you can give us an idea of likely exam questions or themes we will do our best cover any topics not outlined above.
Important note:
The tour deals objectively with the period of the 3rd Reich. Being objective is quite different from endorsing or excusing the crimes of the regime; as such it does not fall foul of section §86a of the German Law Code. (See also the following article, page 174: “(3) Subsection (1) shall not be applicable if the means of propaganda or the act serves to further civil enlightenment, to avert unconstitutional aims, to promote art or science, research or teaching, reporting about current historical events or similar
purposes.”)
