What To Expect
Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site
On this tour we escort you to the site by public transport. Our fully trained guide will take you round all areas of the memorial site, giving you an insight into the suffering of the prisoners and relating the story of the concentration camp system to historical developments during the time of the National Socialist regime. We guide you round the cells, barracks and gas chamber and explain the meaning behind the pictures and exhibits in the museum with thought-provoking accounts of prisoners’ own experiences, from the setting up of the camp until their liberation by US-forces in 1945. There is a 22 minute documentary film in English, although we stress that this is deemed unsuitable for children underv 13 years old

5.00This was a somber but important stop for our group. Our guide was knowledgeable and respectful and answered all our questions. The day we went was very warm, and our guide kept us in the shade as much as possible. Take a bottle of water. Highly recommend.
A really worthwhile tour

Waste of a tour

1.00The tour left earlier than advertised and left without us. No response from the tour provider. Horrible experience. But- we were easily able to find our way to Dachau ourselves and the audioguide was inexpensive and excellent. Do not book this tour. Completely unnecessary. Just visit Dachau on your own
Best guide ever

5.00Michael was absolutely incredible. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and truly went above and beyond to make our experience meaningful. It ended up feeling like a private tour, as he really took his time with our family and made sure we fully understood the history and significance of everything we were seeing. What stood out most was how thoughtful and compassionate he was. He even led a moment of silence for our family and helped us look up family members, which made the experience deeply personal and emotional. We left feeling so grateful for the time we spent with him. If you’re considering this tour, we highly recommend requesting MichaelX — he made the experience unforgettable.

5.00Our guide, Michael, did a great job guiding our group through Dachau. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Hitler and his murderous regime. He handled the heaviness of subject manner with great respect to all the victims. I recommend this tour.
