I used Curt for two different tours seven years ago and he did an exemplary job. I called on him once again in April 2024 for the Munich City and Dachau tours. Once again, I was blown away by the level of his knowledge, compassion and enthusiasm that he showed to us on both tours. He is truly an expert in his field! I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for the best tour guide of Munich and Dachau to reach out to Curt. He is simply the best!

Our family of five spent the day with Curt on a tour of the Dachau Concentration Camp. He provided a perfect balance of energy, detail, and respect for a sensitive yet important topic. I highly recommend this tour if you plan to visit Dachau.

Just completed 2 tours with Curt Milburn from Big Hat Tours. Dachau in depth and 3rd Reich. Contacted Curt through the reviews on Tripadvisor and was not disappointed. Curt was flexible in fitting the tours in our tight schedule. He responded immediately to my emails and continued contact upto our tours. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate on the parts Hitler, Munich, Dachau and Germany played in the Second World War . We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Curt and left with a greater understanding of these times in history. I have no hesitation in recommending Curt Milburn and Big Hat Tours for anyone visiting Munich.

The Big Hat Dachau tour was a highlight of our time in Munich. Curt was easy to connect with pre-tour, even when I had a last minute change. His knowledge of this era of history was evident, and we really appreciated how he was able to adjust the tour to our questions and interests. We never felt rushed. Others had mentioned his iPad with old photos and we also found this to be very interesting. Everyone in our small group learned something new - even the person that had visited Dachau 3 times before. Thanks Curt!

Curt gives a great tour- he spent ample time showing us around and explaining in depth the key aspects of the camp. He had many personal stories which added to the experience, it’s evident that he is very passionate about his tours. I would certainly tour with him again and highly recommend this tour!

Curt went beyond and we really learned a ton about Dachau. Not just the camp, but all the history behind it - so we left with a deeper understanding of the why, not just the what. Would highly recommend.

We booked Curt for a walking tour / Third Reich of Munich and the very next day we scheduled a second tour to Dachau. Once again Curt exceeded our expectations. We had many questions pertaining to Dachau and we were blown away as to how much knowledge Curt has in his head. It’s pretty dang amazing and it made the tour another 5 star plus. In fact if I could Id give him an even higher rating,

We actually did both the Dachau tour and Munich City with Curt. Both were very informative, interesting and so much better than going on our own and trying to figure things out. It was also very beneficial to have someone that spoke very clear English - we did some group tours over our vacation and some were very difficult to understand. Highly recommend Curt - he is a wealth of knowledge and makes history interesting even for non-history buffs.

We (2 couples in our mid 50s) booked a Highlights of Munich & Third Reich and Dachau Tour - it exceeded our expectations. Curt met us in our hotel lobby and we walked to the highlights of Munich, saw Hitler sights & heard stories - all complemented with incredible photos from his iPad. We took a train to another area of Munich where we saw Hitler Marching and Rally Areas and his office building and Nazi Eagles. We then went to Dachau- my husband and I had been before, but our friends had not and this tour was MUCH better than our previous tour. It can be an overwhelming place- but he walked us thru and he hit the highlights- with wonderful explanations. Curt has a passion for history and showed true empathy with what he taught us. We are returning December 2023 with my friend and her two college-aged children and we are booking Curt again. We’ve taken many hours in Europe and Curt is, by far, the best we’ve had

We were a group of 2 couples and Curt was our tour guide for 2 days - day one was the Third Reich tour and the 2nd day was the Dachau tour. Curt is a historian and it is obvious he is well versed in the subject matter, and has many riveting stories. We appreciated the iPad photos that helped to explain the history. My husband is a history major and he enjoyed the many side conversations. I, unfortunately, did not realize that there was so much walking on the Third Reich tour, or that one of our group had a knee issue. Add to that, it was a rainy, cold day, and it did not make for a good time for our friend. Curt tried to make it easier by ducking into coffee shops to stay dry while he was talking, but eventually this member grabbed a taxi to return to the hotel. When Curt realized the need, for the next day in Dachau, he called ahead and had a scooter waiting. That was extremely thoughtful and made all the difference. When we arrived back in Munich at dinner time, Curt directed us to a great local restaurant, frequented mainly by locals. We had a wonderful meal to end our day! We had a lot of tour guides during our 2 weeks in Germany (driving down from Berlin to Munich), and it is very telling that our group member with the knee issue voted Curt the best guide we had.
