Curt Milburn is a former history teacher, author and his tour dives deeper in the history of the Nazis than other tours. Novice or expert, you're guaranteed to learn things you did not know about Hitler and the Nazi movement. You'll see sites of mass rallies, book burnings and the sites of Hitler's most famous speeches. You'll view historic photos on an iPad and see before-and-after pictures of the mass destruction of Allied bombings on the city. It was in Munich (not Berlin) where Hitler rose to power. Here Hitler's shrapnel-pocked buildings still stand where you'll see Swastikas, Nazi helmets and the largest Nazi Eagles in Germany. Curt's tours are ongoing discussions of more than "when", but how and why it all began in Munich. He covers the military, economic and social aspects of Hitler's Germany. Curt is a native of the US and has been giving his Third Reich tours in Munich for over ten years.

Excellent Tour
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!

The Perfect Tour Guide for Munich Nazi Germany/WWII
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.

Private Walking Tour
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.

Highly Recommend this Private Tour
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.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Inside the Third Reich (Private Tour): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Munich.
How much does Inside the Third Reich (Private Tour) cost?
+
Prices start at €150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Munich usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Inside the Third Reich (Private Tour) take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Munich is not rushed.
Is Inside the Third Reich (Private Tour) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Munich, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Inside the Third Reich (Private Tour)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Inside the Third Reich (Private Tour) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Inside the Third Reich (Private Tour)?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Munich can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Munich and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Inside the Third Reich (Private Tour) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Munich within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Munich?
+
On Outty we rank every Munich experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Munich Ghosts and Spirits Evening Walking Tour, Munich Classic Bike Tour @ 11.30am with Surfers & beergarden stop, Guided Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site Tour with Train from Munich. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Munich?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Munich?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Inside the Third Reich (Private Tour)?
+
Included: All Fees and Taxes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Inside the Third Reich (Private Tour)?
+
Rischart Cafe at Marienplatz Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Inside the Third Reich (Private Tour)?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Inside the Third Reich (Private Tour) wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Inside the Third Reich (Private Tour) if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Munich. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
