This early start, small-group half-day tour offers a deeper and more contextual visit to the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site.

What are people saying about Munich

Blanca_R, Jun 2026

Best tour ever!!

We had the best day in this experience. Our tour guide Mark is one of the best guides we’ve encountered in our travels. Thank you Mark for the wonderful experience and your attention to all of us in your group. The bus and snacks were right on point. The driver was very skilled. The two castles and the whole life story of King Ludwig II are something not to be missed if you come to Munich.

Neuschwanstein Castle Tour from Munich

Daniel_S, Jun 2026

Great trip. Bus ride was...

Great trip. Bus ride was smooth and Thomas filled the time with a lot of background and stories - he was very knowledgeable on any topic we threw at him! It would have been nice to get the exact breakdown of the schedule ahead of time so we could plan a bit better (knowing when a bathroom break might happen and that there wasn’t a chance to buy coffee/snack, to consider bringing a bathing suit for the lake, etc), especially as this was provided while on the bus via QR code with no WiFi, meaning we couldn’t access it ourselves as we didn’t have cellular. I also wish we went into the castle earlier so we had more time to explore the town afterwards. All in all, great trip and wonderful tour guide.

Amazing guide for an amazing city

Our guide, Leon, was a wonderful navigator and was also very knowledgeable regarding his beautiful city. We were only in the city for a few days and we finished our tour with a recommended list of places to eat and places to explore. I couldn’t recommend this activity enough, especially if you’re a history geek or just want to touch the surface of what Munich has to offer!

Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site Tour from Munich by Train

Marianne_C, Jun 2026

Profoundly moving

A profoundly moving experience made so much more so with the extensive knowledge of our guide, Sam. His extensive knowledge of all the methods used by those to enable the horrors perpetrated here and the compassion he portrayed for the victims and survivors of this place is something I will never forget. The propaganda tactics that were used are particularly relevant to political tactics used around the world today. I will never forget this place…

Nuremberg Guided Day Trip from Munich by Train

Julio_A, May 2026

Great historical tour of Nuremberg

Our tour guide Paul was fantastic. This is a historical tour that goes into not only the ancient history of Nürnberg but also into the details of WWII and how the Nazi party came to be. Paul showed us the major landmarks and we had plenty of chances to take pictures. It is fast paced and we covered a lot of ground. Easy walking surfaces. We even had a 1 hourbreak to eat lunch (we paid ourselves, but sat as a group). If you enjoy learning the historical background of a city, this is for you and Paul is your guide!
