Registered on 5 July 2017
Walkative was established in 2007 by a group of young enthusiasts who also happened to be licensed tour guides. Today, we operate in 20 cities in countries across all of Europe and beyond, including France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Ukraine and Israel. We have already guided more than 3 million tourists, with more than 350 000 in 2023 only!
Despite this growth, we stay true to our values: be local and present the history of our cities in a professional, yet entertaining way, accessible for everybody, regardless their budget. We provide service not only in big, well established places like Berlin, Paris or Krakow, but also smaller, less known, yet no less fascinating locations, like Nice, Toruń or Lublin. We cooperate with highly trained, professional guides providing both engaging tip-based and regular fixed-price tours. And most importantly - we know our cities by heart!
Join us and stay Walkative!

Tour description
Long before Berlin became the Nazi regime’s center, it was in Munich—dubbed the “capital of the movement”—that National Socialism took root. From beer halls steeped in political unrest to today’s memorials, the city’s streets reflect the rise and fall of the Third Reich.
Munich was where the Nazi party was born, where Hitler staged his failed Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, and where the party later built its headquarters, crafted its ideology, and held massive rallies. But Munich also witnessed courageous resistance, most notably from the White Rose student group who opposed the regime at great risk.
Our tour traces this complex past, visiting sites of Nazi propaganda, discussing daily life under the regime, and reflecting on both the crimes committed and the post-war culture of remembrance that defines modern Germany.
Walking through today’s vibrant Munich—with its beer gardens and art galleries—it’s hard to imagine the fear that once gripped the city. But by revisiting these stories, we deepen our understanding of Munich and the broader forces that shaped 20th-century history.
