Additional Information

Curt, now fully inoculated, has significantly reduced the cost of this tour, which provides a more in-depth exploration of Nazi history than alternative tours. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, this tour will broaden your knowledge on Hitler and the Nazi movement by unraveling facts you’d otherwise be unaware of. The tour includes sites of large-scale Nazi rallies, book-burning incidents, and locations where Hitler gave his most influential speeches. You’ll use an iPad to view historic photos and compare images depicting the widespread destruction created by the Allied bombings. Munich, not Berlin, was the seat of Hitler’s rise to power, and it is in Munich where you’ll see the buildings scarred by shrapnel during Hitler’s regime, including Swastikas, Nazi helmets, and the largest Nazi Eagles in Germany. Curt’s tours go beyond timeframes, delving into the how and why of the entire movement’s origins in Munich, covering military, economic, and social facets of the Nazi era.

Curt, originally from the US, has been conducting his specialized Third Reich tours in Munich for over a decade.

Great tour experience! - 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!!

Just Perfect for me ! Thanks - 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!!

Excellent Third Reich Tour - 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!

I cannot recommend it enough! - 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!

Great day - 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

Enjoyable and Engaging - 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

Great Tour only can Recommend - 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!.
