Dachau Concentration Camp was the first that the Nazis opened in 1933 in Germany, originally intended to hold political prisoners only. Later it became a camp of forced labor with over 200,000 inmates during its 12 years of operation.
The place became an “Academy of Terror”, a role model and a training ground of vast brutality, killing around 40,000 people from 34 nations before it was liberated in 1945 by the American army.

4.00That there is no car service, we had to travel with street car, train and bus. This is not how I expected my travel to Dachau would be. The tour guy was great, she was friendly, knowledgeable and showed lots of sympathy for us being cold and in rain.
Unfortunate experience/ wrong details in listing

2.00This listing does not mention that you will be taking a train as well as Bus to the destination. Meeting point pin does not match the meeting point of the beginning of the tour, but two blocks away. Very confusing. Meeting time states 10am in the listing…. Guide stated 10:30. Unfortunately tour was not as expected and did not match the itinerary details.

5.00Stephanie was passionate about this horrific part of history. She had the entire group captivated with the presentation about the history of Dachau. I would highly recommend her and this tour. My life is changed from what I experienced there.
Overpriced and Under delivered!

2.00The tour guide, while knowledgable, was difficult to understand. The description led me to believe private transportation was included, especially based on the price. The tour was double the cost of other tours. Lastly, the guide left two hours early along with other members of the group (they didn’t like the tour) so I didn’t get what I paid for. We finished up the site in our own. I’m extremely dissatisfied and request a partial refund!
Great historical experience
