We really enjoyed meeting Curt and having him shepherd us efficiently through Munich to Dachau. Once we arrived, he navigated us expertly around the grounds and provided us with detailed historical context and interesting insights into the use, expansion, and final days of the facility. It was much more nimble and productive to have a private tour. We were able to get to know Curt personally and learn all about his educational background and amazing life. Would love to catch up with him against in the future. Highly recommend this tour to any family who is serious about making the most of their time in Munich/Dachau and getting a significant education on the topics that span Hitler's rise to power, WWII, and the Holocaust.

What a moving experience. The depth of Curt’s knowledge made the entire time so real. We hung on every word. It is a chilling place, not to be taken lightly, and to be able to have access to the history that led to this horrible time was really a blessing. Curt is personable and constantly checking the “temp” of our group- whether to go deeper or not. We truly appreciated his time with us and all he’s learned. I can’t recommend him enough.

Really enjoyed my tours with Curt. I'm doing research for a book and it entered on Dachau. In addition to that, Curt showed me around the old city and took in elements of the Third Reich Tour. A very knowledgeable guy who always backs up stories with a huge library of photos on his iPad. Highly recommend this guy if you want to really know the history of Munich and especially if you go on the Dachau tour.

We had an unforgettable experience with Curt. His ability to weave history into captivating stories truly brought the past to life. Despite the somber nature of most parts of our tour, Curt managed to keep our spirits high with his thoughtful approach. We truly had an incredible day and shared many smiles and laughs while taking the time to very seriously uncover the devastation that was Dachau. As a professional travel agent, I highly recommend Curt and Big Hat Tours to anyone visiting Munich and looking for an enriching and personalized tour experience within the city and beyond - and there is no other way for anyone to experience Dachau than with his professional guidance. He was incredibly accommodating, tailoring the tour to our interests and needs. THANK YOU!

Our tour with Curt was exceptional. His knowledge of the history of the atrocities that occurred at Dachau is extensive. He's charismatic and highly skilled at presenting that story. His knowledge of the period and the factors that led to WW2 and the holocaust brought the story of Dachau into the proper historical context. You can not go wrong by booking a tour with Curt.
