Achim Wigand
Achim is a writer and tour guide originally from Ochsenfurt, a tiny village built around a huge sugar factory in between the vineyards of Lower Franconia. He received his MA from the University of Erlangen after submitting a thesis focusing on the Nuremberg Party Rallies of the NSDAP. He has published travel books on Montenegro and Munich, which are currently in their 4th and 5th editions, respectively.
Achim is fully licensed by the Memorial site in Dachau as a docent and has eight years experience of tour guiding in and around Munich with an emphasis on NS related topics. He also claims to make the best beer garden food in town.
Our full day WWII tour turned out to be a highlight to our 12 day trip to Germany, and my family of 6 appreciated having a knowledgable guide to help us make the most of our visit to Munich and Dachau. It is incredibly important to educate ourselves about the past, especially about such a relevant and recent history that impacted the whole world. Achim was extremely knowledgable and engaging and had quite the personality! He had well-informed answers to all our questions. Would highly recommend using Context Travel and taking this tour.
Achim was an excellent guide. He wove lots of stories into the tour, so everything we saw felt related and not a bunch of separate stops along the way. We learned a ton and had an amazing time.
Achim was fantastic!
