Itinerary
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

Plan for amazing, emotional and overwhelmingly important experience that is timely and essential experince. Conni was great and sensitive to all.
I booked our tour and was so happy with our experience. We learned so much from the moment went boarded the train. If, we went on our own we would not have learned so much and the experience would have not been the same. Conni was wonderful and had so much to share with us. I highly recommend it
Carlotta (Charlotte) was a wonderful host engaging with all the people on the tour. She was very informative and provided us with a wealth of information. The tour was as expected, very humbling and reminding us to not let this happen again.
It was a humbling experience and our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. She really helped us understand the history.
This 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.
Alex was an excellent tour guide. He gave us enough information but not too much so it was not overwhelming- he kept it interesting and was very knowledgeable
Guide was very friendly and informative. Felt like walking back in time and seeing a piece of history, a dark piece of human history. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys learning about history
The 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
Mat was, perhaps, the best guide we’ve ever had. Fun, knowledgeable, and engaging. Highly recommended.
Michael 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.
