My boyfriend and I would like to let people know about Taff Simon and
Dark History tours in Munich, Germany. By pure chance we bumped into
Taff, who happens to be a professional archaeologist and expert on
German military/World War II history, and arranged a tour with him. He
gave us a walking tour which encompassed history from ancient times to
the Third Reich. He will tailor the tour to your interests. It was a
wonderful way to spend the little time we had in the fascinating city of
Munich. We would enthusiastically encourage anyone who can take a
walking tour and enjoys history to take one with Taff! His rates are
very reasonable. I believe tours can be booked through his "Dark
History" website.

Dark History Tours (see
http://www.ricksteves.com/graffiti/graffiti140.html)
Well it was that time of year again, myself and some former army
buddies decided to take our wives on a cultural tour of Southern
Germany, and see all the sites we never really paid much attention to
when we were young and stupid. Munich was our first port of call, and
after spending a couple of days taking it easy (transatlantic flights
seem to get longer as you get older!!), we decided to take a tour. World
War 2 is something that is close to the hearts of guys of my generation,
our dads fought in it, and our moms stayed home and worried, so we were
really pleased when we came across 'Dark History Tours - Third Reich
tour'. And what a great time we had! even our wives had fun! Maybe it's
a cliche but the tour guide Taf Simon really brought the history alive
with little touches like original photographs, papers, and ID's he was
able to share with us. We really learned a lot too (and have since been
on Amazon to buy more books on the subject!), I had no idea about the
German resistance movement, and found it all fascinating. Overall, a
really great experience, my buddies enjoyed it, our wives enjoyed it
(and appreciated the good value) and next time we're in town, we'll be
sure to stop by and take in another tour. As they say in Britain
- cheers Taff!

Munich Day Tours (http://www.ricksteves.com/graffiti/helpline/index.cfm/rurl/topic/34680/munich-day-tours.html)
Hey my wife and I
had a really great tour experience with 'Dark History
Tours'.Taff was friendly and really knew his subject well, my
wife who's not much into history really found the whole thing
fascinating. We really enjoyed our Third Reich tour about
Munich, thought it was great value and have recommended it to
friends and co-workers alike.

I recently
took an all day themed tour in Munich with Dark History
Tours. In the morning the guide showed us around sites
like the Feldherrenhall, Gestapo HQ, and Hitlers HQ. We
also saw where Sophie Scholl was arrested. In the
afternoon - after a liquid lunch - he took us to the
Deutsche Museum, where we saw a couple of uboots and
some fantastic WW1 and 2 planes (although they were all
german I noted). They even had a V2. I was shocked to
see this stuff on display in Germany as I thought it was
a taboo subject. If WW2 is your thing guy these guys a
go.

Dear Mr Taff:
It has been very
remiss of me but I have only just found the time to write to you to say
thank you for the most informative our during our time in Munich. What
you told us left us with an idea of what life at that time was and we
feel for the terrible burden that Germany has had to bear. In fact, the
next day we headed to Dachau [Memorial site]. We truly enjoyed our stay
in Munich and thank you very much for sharing its history with us.
Kind regards,
N.H and family. USA
