Auschwitz Tour

Auschwitz Blog Pic-1In March of 2015 the InMunich Tours Dachau Guides took an extended tour to both Auschwitz I & Auschwitz Birkenau.

This was something all of us had wanted to do for a very long time.

Regardless of being very experienced guides at the Dachau Memorial Site, it had a profound effect on all of us. The short film below explains our reasons for the trip, and what we found.

In March of 2015 the InMunich Guides visited both the city of Kraków & the Auschwitz Memorial Site.

Kraków is an amazing city!

We were staying in the old Jewish Quarter and managed to take a tour with the fantastic “Krakow Free Walking Tour” company. The Jewish Krakow Tour covered a big walk through the Kazmierz district, gave the full history of the Jews within Poland, visited the site of the WW2 Jewish Ghetto & finished up at Oskar Schindlers Factory. It was really interesting to hear about the “other” Schindler, the womanising gambler who spied on his own country for the Nazi’s – not quite what Hollywood portrays in the movie! Big thanks to Pawel, our great guide.

We also did their regular Free Walking Tour of Kraków city centre which covered around 1400 years of history! Big thanks to Tomek for that. It is truly amazing how much a city can change in the just 25 years since the fall of the Iron Curtain. The transformation of Munich is on-going, and has been since 1945, but Kraków has also been through some astonishing changes.

I will definately be going back soon :-)

Happy Birthday InMunich Tours!!!

InMunich Tours has finally reached its first birthday!!

Although time seems to have flown by quickly it was only on the 1st of March 2014 when Adam & Marcin opened up InMunich Tours with a daily Free City Tour of Munich & a Dachau Memorial Site Tour. In just one year we have taken so many thousands of tourists from all over the world around the city we love & have had the absolute pleasure to meet some truly fantastic people from all walks of life (even a Nasa Space Shuttle Pilot!) & got to play a little part in their travels around the world. We have also reached almost to the top of Tripadvisor, and we are always very happy when our tourists take the time out to give us feedback.

So what about 2015?! To kick off year 2 we are officially launching 4 Private Tours!
A fascinating InMunich Private 3rd Reich Tour to look at the birth of the Nazi Party in Munich & the major events that helped shape Adolf Hitlers rise to power.
A Private InMunich German Resistance Tour. A fantastic opportunity to learn about one of the most often forgotten aspects of Munich’s Nazi history, the German people who dared to stand up to Hitler & resist, including die Weisse Rose & Georg Elser.
Plus we also have the Private Tour versions of our Munich City Tour & Dachau Tours, which have already been very sucessful this past year.

Our Guides will also be traveling to Krakow in Poland in just a weeks time to make a full day tour of the Auschwitz Memorial Site. As highly experienced & qualified Dachau Guides we feel that the knowledge gained from this trip will be invaluable & will certainly add to our overview of the Nazi Camp System. More about that in a week or two.

We are also looking forward to getting to Starkbierfest at the Nockherberg sometime in the next days! The strong beer festival at the Paulaner Brewery is some serious partying :-) We might even be able to get Jon into Lederhosen…

Adam & Marcin would also love to say a massive thankyou to the beyond awesome friend & fellow guide Jon Wilkes, who treads the streets with us every day come rain or shine & has never complained once ;-) as well as a big thanks to Scott, Keith, Tom, Peter, Diana, Kevin & all the other guides & friends who have lent us both their expertise & support! We believe that small independant guides & companies are by far the best option for tourists visiting Munich. Why go with a Starbucks when the small local coffee shop is better value & has real coffee!

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!!!!!

Happy Birthday InMunich

Happy Birthday!
