I was in Munich with a colleague and we had a few extra days to take in the sights. Although I had been to Munich before I did not know much of it's history, or visit many sights. I found Curt through this tripadvisor listing and decided to give him a try for a four hour city tour. We were... More

My husband, a couple of friends and I just had such a great time in Munich with Curt, Paul and Daniel. We went to Neuschweinstein castle, one of the most beautiful places I ever went. The day was great, Curt knowlege and excitement about history made all even more interesting. The tour is very informative and personal, very different from... More

I found Curtis on Trip Adviser when looking for a tour guide to Dachau Concentration Camp. I had never seen anyone get 100% excellent reviews so I knew he must be a special guy...and I was not disappointed. Curtis was an Excellent Tour Guide and More! I was lucky enough to be the only one on the tour but had... More

Curt was a sheer pleasure to work with, very quick to respond to requests. We experienced two tours with him while in Munich, the Third Reich tour and the day at Dachau. He makes history come alive and has an impressive knowledge of the areas and history, keeping the information pertinent and interesting! Excellent tour guide! More

We booked Curtis for the city tour and then Curtis & Paul for the Dachau tour the next day. Curtis and Paul shared a wealth of knowledge and information with us making our time in Munich wonderful. It was great to have such a personell experience for our tour as opposed to the overcrowded shared tours with a tour guide... More

My family, including my husband and teenaged daughters, really enjoyed the tour with Curt. The tour was informative. It was a smaller group which made it more personal. It covered a lot of history as well as fun facts that made everything interesting. We definitely recommend the tour to others looking for an insider tour of the lovely city of... More

Hats off to Curt and Big Hat Tours. On the Dachau Memorial trip Curt was very attentive to our fifteen year old son and made sure he understood what he was seeing and what it meant. Several times he craftily circled him back to aspects of the tour that were important to understand. Curt communicated with our son in a... More

Husband found Curt on TripAdvisor, and am I glad he did. He took us by train to tour the Neuschwanstein Castle, and the train ride was almost as good as the castle tour. Nah. Better. Curt knows European history so well, the background information he gave us on the mad king brought the whole thing to life. He picked us... More

Found Curt on Trip Advisor and immediately scheduled a tour with him during my stay. Curt took me and two of my friends to Dachau and he did an amazing job showing us the site. He spent his whole Friday with us telling us so many interesting things that you would not learn without a guide! Also, ran into him... More

I recently booked a tour to Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau with Curt. He told us the history of the royal family on the train ride. He had pictures that really made the history come alive. I am glad he did because the castle tour guides provided no historical background. He then took us to a fabulous local bakery for a treat... More
