We thoroughly enjoyed our full day tour of Neuschwanstein castle with Curt. He made the experience very relaxing, interesting and informative. Unfortunately, the internal tour of the castle has to be provided by tour guides employed on site. Without Curt giving us his insight into what we were going to see it would have been a total waste of time....

Owner description:
A tour with Curt Milburn is like having a welcoming family friend show you around Munich. Curt’s been called “The Wikipedia of History” and he specialize in small group and private tours. Every tour is tailor-made and Curt finds out what YOU want to see. His City Tours go beyond canned, set routes. You’ll see the famous sites, architecture, learn about kings, Hitler, foods and beer. Our Third Reich Tours delve deep into more than when, but why and how the Nazis came to power and Curt leads you to the bombed buildings of Hitler. Curt’s Dachau tours are sensitive and remarkably moving and his Neuschwanstein and Castle tours are great fun. Salzburg is within your reach with Big Hat Tours! Every tour is accompanied by an Apple i-Pod 3 with hundreds of photos to put you into history. Curt goes beyond any tour guide in Munich giving you tips on dining, shopping, attractions and where to stay. You can escape the over-crowed, boring and scripted tours with Curt Milburn and Big Hat Tours.

We had a wonderful day having taken the tour with Curt to the Nueschwanstein Castle on Tuesday April 23rd. He was very attentive to details and made sure we were informed and was open to do the tour how we basically wanted it. We had a small family group and we were all very pleased in our decision to go...

We spent a full day with Curt, first touring the city of Munich and then to Dachau. Seeing that we had kids, he tailored the tour to our family. He kept the whole family interested throughout the day. We learned so many new details and very much appreciated his knowledge of the sites that we visited and the relevant history....

I could not have been more pleased with Curt's tour of Munich and Dachau. It greatly exceeded my expectations. Curt is a great guy and is definitely the type of person I want leading my tour group. He has a well structured tour, but allows for deviations in the plan, and he asks the group how they want to experience...

Curt gave an excellent tour which he based on his experiences and knowledge. He asked our group for input on what our must sees where and tailored the tour to meet our groups needs. I would recommend Curt to anyone looking for an excellent tour filled with historical information!

Our Munich City tour and Dachau Tour with Curt were very interesting and insightful. It's obvious that he has done his homework and is very knowledgeable about the city of Munich and it's history. We enjoyed his commentary on WWI and WW2 and the dynamics of the region at the time. He had photos on his ipad that showed the...

My wife and I planned a quick vacation to Munich for the easter weekend and contacted Mr Curtis of Big Hat Tours for a private city tour. We were short of time and needed the tour to be done on the second half of Thursday March 28th. He referred us to Ms Yolanda since he was away to USA on...

Hey all, I wanted you all to understand "Curt" (that's me) is the only guide at Big Hat Tours. I'm owner and operator, guide and your friend in Munich. When I'm already booked up for tours, I usually can't forward requests to other guides. I am more than glad it sometimes works out like it did in the example above,...

Curt is a fantastic guide. He is passionate about his job and subject matter. His ipad with all the photos helped give us more perspective about Munich history. My husband was very much under the weather that day but didn't want to give up going on the tour. Curt was very accommodating and considerate and took us at a slower...

Curt did a private city tour of Munich for my husband and I. He provided a wealth of information and showed us all around the city. We loved that he shared a lot of the history in Munich and also shared some of the tips for staying in Munich. I would recommend this tour to anyone on the first day...
