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. « less

“Informative and Entertaining”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2013 NEW

My husband, son and I had only one day in Munich and we spent it on a personal tour with Curt. We could not have made a better choice! He tailored the tour and pace to our interests, and kept it interesting and informal. Even my history buff son said he learned a lot! His use of an Ipad is... More

“Curt knows his stuff about Third Reich Germany”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

We did two tours in the one day with Curt, the Third Reich in the morning, and Dachau in the afternoon. Being a holiday weekend, we were his only clients, so we had a very personal tour. Curt is very knowledgeable about this part of German history, and he took us to most of the sites in Munich associated with... More

“Best way to visit Neuschwanstein”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2013

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.... More

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.

“Catered to our family”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2013

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.... More

“Fun and interesting tour by a great guide!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2013

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... More

“Excellent overview of Munich hitting on all the "must sees"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2013

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!

“Great guide and tour!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2013

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... More

curtmilburn, Owner at Big Hat Tours, responded to this review
28 April 2013

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,... More
