Great Private Tour

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He gave us a great overview on the ride to Dachau so that he could focus on specifics while on site. He also gave us time to explore on our own as well. Of course this is a very emotional tour so he allowed us time to simply "be" with the experience. He did a great job keeping us away from the large group tours so we could hear him and ask questions as needed. I highly recommend this private tour.
