5.00Thank you ETS (Greenline Tours Frankfurt ) for going that extra mile and making this special trip happen for me. Andre my driver was polite friendly professional and fun. A fantastic driver who made the 800k trip seem short. Thankyou for taking the road less traveled and showing me those gorgeous German villages. Dachau very moving. I rate this trip 15/10. A must do.

1.00I cannot, in good conscious, recommend this trip to anyone. For what this trip costs, it is a complete rip off. The driver at times exceeded 100 MPH. This day drip was 784 KM round trip, much to far for a "Day Trip". The Munich City tour was a bust, a complete waste of time. There was no narration to speak of. For lunch we each had a sandwich that was stored in trunk of our car for hours. The bottled water was so warm you could bathed in it. This was a complete waste of time and money. The trip to Dachau was very moving and worth visiting, just wish I would have found a different way to get there.

5.00Very moving experience. We took the English speaking tour. Tour guide was terrific and thoughtfully addressed all of our questions. Very interactive. At the conclusion of the tour (tips were appreciated) we went through the museum which because of the testimonials and artifacts from the prisoners was very powerful. There is a movie that is shown in English a couple of times a day. I suggest taking the English tour over the movie. There is no shade here so don't forget sunscreen and a hat.

1.00I have booked many tours through Viator, and I can honestly say I wouldn't recommend this tour. Our tour guide didn't take us to many of the places described in the tour summary. Instead, he catered to the other couple who came with us and took 45 minutes away from our Munich time to take them to the BMW showcase, without even asking if my son and I would mind. We have NO INTEREST in viewing BMW cars. Due to our tour guide's inconsideration, we didn't stop at the landmark cathedral of our Blessed Lady and therefore, didn't get to take the stairs of the south tower to experience the breathtaking view of Munich and the nearby Alps. Also, we didn't go into the Munich National theatre, nor a few of the other described attractions in the tour write up. And the worst thing was having only 1 hr 15 minutes in Dachau, it took almost that long to walk to the Crematorium and religious memorials, leaving 10 minutes for the museum. I am extremely disappointed in the outcome of this tour since this was my one and only chance to see Dachau. To top off the disappointing day, the sandwiches were terrible salami on processed wheat bread, and our guide drove 90-100 miles per hour there and back, something people from the USA aren't used to, nor comfortable with and he kept bragging about his great driving skills.

2.00Driving was quite long which would have been ok if the driver was able to provide us information about Germany or our destinations which he was not. He said we would learn when we arrive at Dachau. Dachua was itself a very interesting site and there is much to explore .. much more than the 1.5 hrs provided to ingest everything. The museum itself was an easily 2 hour experience as there was many areas to read. Did not see much of Munich as it was a drive by and then we had only an hour on our own to walk around. Not even enough time to order something to eat let alone visit the Hofhauser. Would have been much better if we had more time/hours added to the schedule.

5.00I ended up not being able to take this tour, but Viator still wants me to review it. So I imagine this place would be very depressing and full of terrible reminders of a history that we should never repeat. Instead of this visit, I ended up with a pleasant visit to Cologne and Limburg.
Very interesting and informative...

3.00Very interesting and informative - as well as very sobering when reflecting on man's inhumanity to man. I would never be convinced that the good citizens of Dachau had no knowledge of what was happening in the camp. More likely that they were far too frightened to acknowledge for fear they would also be imprisoned there!
Trip was combined with a brief tour of Munich. Beautiful city with many beautiful buildings.
