Dachau Tour Guide Review

Markus was our guide. He did an exceptional job of explaining the history of the region as well as all that happened in Dachau. He answered all our questions and got us from our hotel to the memorial site and back. We both appreciated his approach and how well he knows the history of Dachau. Highly recommend Markus.

Great tour! Markus was reliable, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He went well beyond just the basics of a tour. He helped us understand not just WHAT happened but also the HOW and WHY regarding this important and somber part of German history

Historically significant and very worthwhile

While It’s certainly not a “feel good” experience, it is nonetheless an enlightening, historical, somber experience. Be reverent, be respectful. Our guide, Matt, was excellent. His knowledge about the site and the events that surround it are impeccable, as well as his knowledge of the time period and the world perspective at the time.

Operator response

Hello Gail, Thanks you for your kind review of Matt and your experience! Best regards

Fabulous private walking tour

It was incredibly detailed and brought out points of history and his historical significance that was previously unbeknownst to us. The guided tour was done in a very thoughtful and meaningful way and revealed things about Munich, Germany and world events you don’t get in US history textbooks. Fast paced and feels like reading a Dan Brown novel.

Operator response

Thanks so much for leaving this meaningful review! Best regards

Incredible experience, highly recommend

Incredible experience. Marcus, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable. He works directly in the camp archives and has personally interviewed survivors. He is also a professor on the subject, literally teaching this history. He did an outstanding job explaining every detail and providing deep historical context throughout the tour. It was just my wife and me, which made the experience even more meaningful. He met us at our hotel and we rode the train together to the site, which added a very personal touch

Operator response

Thank you Chris for taking the time to review your tour with Markus, it was a pleasure to host you
