Although DACHUA has a horrible and somber history, it is important to understand what happened during the Nazi reign. Having visited other concentration camps & Holocaust memorials, DACHUA is one that can be seen in a relatively compact amount of time. The intellectual processing of the event will take much longer than the actual visit.
Really knowledgeable tour guide Andrea. She was amazing. Be prepared with younger children to explain the horrors they will see when they are there.
The driver Hamid and the tour guide Claudia were great . Claudia was very informative esp re: the history. The van ride was very comfortable and perfect for our family of 4
Hi Troy_N, Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re happy to hear the tour was unforgettable and that both Hamid and Claudia contributed to such a positive experience, especially for your family. We’d be glad to welcome you again on another Rosotravel tour. Best wishes, Rosotravel Team
Visiting Dachau was a life changing experience. Our guide Stephan was amazing. He was so knowledgable.
We did the tour with another couple. We got picked up at hotel and it was so convenient. Our tour guide was named Stephan. He was fantastic. Knowledgeable and friendly. It was raining that day, but it didn't stop him from giving us his best. He even gave us a excellent recommendation for lunch in City and dropped us off. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Our guide Stephan was excellent and did a great job with the tour . His knowledge of the camp and history behind it was well with it .
Dachau is well worth the experience, but our tour guide was not that knowledgeable on the com plate history of what happened there.
Somehow we were so lucky to have one of the best tour guides for this camp. She was not only extremely knowledgeable but was sweet and met us at the lobby early to help communicate with the driver. Viator, this was the best tour in Germany for us. Thank you
This tour is very moving. It is such an important part of history that needs to be remembered. Our guide did a great job with the time allotted.
Incredible tour. Our guide, Paul, could not have been more friendly or helpful. We highly recommend this experience.
