“Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to”
Michael is a very knowledgeable guide and provided an excellent tour. He has deep understanding of the history and sensitivities of the history. I would recommend him to anyone seeking an understanding of the impact and history of the 3rd Reich and Jewish history of Munich, whether you want a brief overview or in depth study.
