Excellent tour. Our guide, Michael from Munich walking tours, was really knowledgeable and helpful.
Mat is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable on all info on Dachau and more! Recommended tour.
Our guide was not in a hurry to get started. Information she shared was nothing unique to general history. She lacked enthusiasm. Also, minimal time to explore the museum.
First question is always for me was it worth the time. This one is a definite yes. Jessie our guide was truly passionate about this subject and very confident with the material which speaks to how well she prepares for, and stays updated, on the material.
Mat was an extremely knowledgeable tour guide. It is a lot of information and he did a fantastic job giving us a clear picture of the events and the history of this place.
The Guide Ms. Carlotta aka Charlotte was excellent and thoroughly explained the camp operation and the environment of Germany during the pre WWII period. Had ample time to view the numerous displays and exhibits.
Michael was a great guide very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed our day and highly recommend this tour
Charolotte (Carlotta) was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and presented material in sensitive manner. I highly recommend this tour!
Jess was a very knowledgeable and professional guide on what is simply a difficult historical chapter. She relayed the history very well with appropriate language and tone. Travel to and from Daschau seamless too
This was a great opportunity gor my family to visit Dachau. The meeting location of Marienplatz was extremely convenient and our guide was easy to locate. We had to pay one price, but it covered the Sbahn, bus, and entrance tickets. The tour was designed to be told from the prisoner perspective. So insightful. Our guide Steffi was by far, the best part of the tour. She delivered the material was done factually, but with sincerity. She added her own personal connection to WWII - both from a concentration camp & German army perspective. Not too many people have family on both sides. This type of a tour could be very dark and depressing. Steffi did a phenomenal job of delivering the tour and making it fascinating without leaving my family depressed. Side note: The day of our tour, it was 96°F. Steffi took great care to make sure we had a shady spot to listen, to remind us to hydrate, and overall see to our comfort, as much as possible. Thank you Steffi, for a great day.
