Inside The Third Reich (Private Tour)

Our guide Carl was very informative, full of fascinating insights. He was friendly and engaging, and what is more he paid no attention to time, we just went until we finished. We had more than 3 1/2 hours with him

FANTASTIC TOUR EXPERIENCE. Curt was extremely knowledgeable and professional, and very friendly. His tour gave us an intimate sense of Munich's Nazi-era history, the imprint the National Socialists left on the city, and the confluence of factors and personalities that enabled Hitler's rise. He was clearly very well-read and researched, but very understandable and a great storyteller. Bravo!

My wife and I planned a three week trip to Germany. One of my must do’s was to get a detailed tour of Nazi Germany/WWII. My wife worked with WAC Travel to book me a solo tour. Kurt met me promptly at our hotel and in the first few minutes I knew he was going to be the perfect guide. His knowledge was immense, his enthusiasm and passion was off the charts. This was no regular typical tour going to the main attractions.Kurt took me through alleyways, hidden gems and off the beaten paths to give me an in-depth insight into Hitler, Nazi Germany and WWII. I felt I was going back in time. If you are a WWII/Nazi Germany aficionado , there is no better tour guide then Kurt.

We spent a day with Curt on a private Third Reich and Dachau tour, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. His knowledge, professionalism, and passion for history were evident throughout the day. What impressed us most was his ability to keep our 11- and 14-year-old engaged while discussing difficult and emotional topics with sensitivity and respect. Curt brought the history to life in a meaningful and memorable way. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and engaging guide in Munich, we highly recommend Curt.

I had a great time on Curt's "Inside the Third Reich" private Tour! Curt does a great job making the history of Munich come alive. He took me to many parts of Munich I hadn't seen before. By all means if you have the chance and are visiting Munich, sign up for one of Curt's excellent tours, you will be glad you did!!!

My husband and I were the only tourists, which is ideal. Curt was personable and easy to understand. We saw plenty of sites with Curt telling us amazing historical facts. He's done extensive research so he was well versed on Hitler's rise to power then impact WWII had on the city of Munich. He answered our questions fully. The tour was well worth the costs plus a bit more. Highly recommend.

Curt was extremely knowledgeable on the history of the third reich, and its members. From the start in Munich to the ending in Berlin, he gave the behind the scenes and little known facts from the key players to the general public and how it affected them. He caters the tour to your perspective and knowledge, showing the actual streets and buildings where it all happened. A definite 5 star experience!

We did the 3rd Reich your with Curt and it was the best!! We learned so much and enjoyed Curt’s little fun facts. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about the history and shared so much info with us. His pictures were exceptional as well. Great tour highly recommend!!

We had such a great day with Curt. He was kind, funny and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the city and the third reich. His stories were engaging and we really enjoyed the tour and his company. Even though the weather was a bit miserable he worked hard to keep us warm and dry while still seeing everything. The time flew by and he even spent extra time with us to show us even more and give us tips for our onward travels. We highly recommend his private tours. The personal attention and customized itinerary is the best way to see the city.

Curt is the best guide we have ever had and we have travelled all over Europe. His ability to adjust his presentation to the level of knowledge of his group was amazing. My husband and I learned so much about not only Nazi Munich but the results after the war. Both Jim and I were surprised by much of the information Curt shared. I strongly recommend going on any of his tours.

Curt was very generous with his time, which went quickly on this broad but often detailed sweep through Nazi history in Munich. Curt moved the discussion from top-down themes to as much detail as I wanted. He weaved in historical research whilst adding his own perspective on the times and the individuals involved. All up a thought-provoking tour that enabled me to engage with the history books in a more personal way.

We did this tour and were really impressed with Curt, who is really knowledgeable and shares plenty of photos on his iPad to augment the tour. Recommend.

We were fortunate to be referred to Curt by a close friend. He was everything they said and more! Curt explained the history and made it come alive for us. Walking around Munich and visualizing the events during this historic time was really so enlightening. The tour was thorough, extremely informative and very enjoyable. We felt like we have made a new friend in Munich! Do yourself a favor and book this tour while you are in Munich.

9 of us, both family & friends, had a great tour with Curt. He met us at the designated location on time, and was considerate of two in our party who had knee and hip replacements. I found him to be very knowledgeable, and quite interesting. He explained things in a very easy way to follow, and the pictures shown were a great visual. Highly recommend him!!

Curt was perfect for me . I wanted to see things at my own pace and cadence and he adjusted and allowed me to linger more in some places and move quicker through others . I knew a lot before I arrived but left with a deeper and more personal understanding of the times and the movements during the 1920s, 30s , and war years . Plus we had fantastic weather!!

I am in the midst of a 2+ week trip through Europe with a very bright 20-year-old young man. On the day we arrived in Munich from the US, we did a Third Reich tour with Curt. Curt held the interest of both this 50-year-old male and my young adult co-traveler in our jet lagged states. He provided a truly outstanding overview of Nazi history in Munich and showed us many interesting sites. Curt was particularly great at interacting with the 20-year-old, encouraging him to share his knowledge and avoiding being dismissive when the 20-year-old wasn't quite right on a fact or two. Highly recommend!

Three hours that flew by, history mixed with pictures and life events. Curt knows his stuff and can keep the younger generation interested.

His knowledge and anecdotal storiesl Excellent excellent recommend him by far He was a peofessor excellent

Curt is not only a walking encyclopedia - he's friendly,  funny and very knowledgeable! He did a private "3rd Reich Walking Tour of Munich" for me in Jan 2022 - a very cold winter. But I couldn't be happier with the hours we spent together. It was my second day in the city and after the tour I've started looking at the buildings and places with a completely different perspective. He's passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about history, architecture, culture and even music! He gave me great suggestions for restaurants, activities and even how to take trains without getting lost in Munich's complex transportation system. I would say he's the best tour guide I've seen so far! I can't recommend him enough!

Curt was everything you could hope for in a tour guide. Knowledgeable and welcomed questions which he was invariably able to address. He brought forth facts that aren't readily available in history books. Wish we had more time with him

Curt was such an engaging and interesting tour guide. Can see his passion and love for the topics he shared. I felt my history lessons come to life. My husband and I were so engrossed and engaged in the whole tour. We were able to appreciate the buildings and spaces more because of the pictures he shared in his ipad. He’s such a jovial and wonderful individual to have conversations with, who was also patient in answering our questions and explaining more to us. We absolutely and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Would definitely recommend this tour to all who visit Munich

Curt is super knowledgeable about the events that led to the rise of Hitler, and gives a lively description in front of the important buildings where these events took place.

After taking Curts great city tour, I deceided to take his third reich tour as well. He was really able to communicate the depths of the third reich in a way that I had never expierenced before. The tour was augmented by the use of images and videos of the destruction of the second world war and the Hitler and other majior Nazis standing right where we stood. This tour was really able to give me an understanding of how the holocaust came about, something I had never really been able to wrap my head around. Curt took extra time giving us a custom made tour by leading us to different areas based on our specific interests. In addition, he shared stories from holocaust survivors he personally knows. I can only suggest Curts tour as it not only showed me the sights of this dark time, but also taught me a great deal!.

I'm not sure what happened to the original review I wrote for Curt. I know I wrote one when my family took his tour back in August 2017. Regardless, I will keep re-writing them if TripAdvisor keeps losing them... because, Curt and his tour are worth it. He was awesome with my family (sons aged 16 and 14). Very knowledgable. He took the time to explain everything in great detail. He has some really cool historical photos on his iPad. It's surreal seeing the same location your standing at from 50+ years prior. Curt, if you read this, I hope they've added at least one good Mexican restaurant in Munich since Aug'17. Sincerely, The Mattson family.

We did a private walking tour of Munich with Curt. He tailored it to exactly what we were curious about,was very knowledgeable and had great supplemental images and documents on his iPad to share with us to enhance the stories he was telling. He not only was knowledgeable on the history of the city, but also gave us great advice on restaurants, what to buy at the market and where to go back to. We had such a great time and learned alot with him! He was also very funny, reminded me of Larry David throughout the whole tour! Do not visit Munich without doing a tour with Curt!

Curt gave an excellent tour to my students an excellent tour. They learned a lot and had fun. Curt has a lot of knowledge and was able to answer all of the questions my students had!

Great tour, interesting and fun. Curt is very accomodating, tailoring the tour to your interests and requirements (finding somewhere warm to go on a very cold day). A good mix of history, famous sites, and good humour. Highly recommended

Excellent tour. Very intresting and veryyy unique. Very cool guy, super passionate about his stuff and funny aswell!!

Curt's tour was great! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our morning/afternoon Third Reich tour around Munich. The depth of knowledge that Curt has around the history of sites, people and events was awesome. It's not a cookie cutter tour, its your experience and Curt will let you guide what you want to learn, all while giving you a lot of the historical reference/relevance to each site. Definitely a great way to start a stay in Munich!

Curt has a wonderful tour! He was able to tailer it to my exact interests. He is knowledgeable in both what interests adults and children. He tells a lot of great stories. He really knows a lot of history that many other tours don’t know. He has really done his homework.

My brothers and I spent a afternoon touring WWII era sites around Munich. Very informative and we'll paced. Worth the extra $$ for a private tour. Curt also had some great recommendations for restaurants in the area. Highly recommend.
