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.

This was a deep tour but I can’t believe I forgot our tour guys name but if we could I would have him do all our tours . He is so knowledgeable and helpful. He took us on the train kept us all together then returned and kept us together and even showed us some landmarks that weren’t even in tour .. one word exceptional!! Thank you from Matt and Andrea
The guide was very knowledgeable re WW II. Friendly too. The travel was smooth and stress free experience.
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!
