Do this your own your own

The tour was fine, but for the price, the guide did not check in with me in advance and showed up at the wrong hotel. Viator customer service, long a pain point with this service, could not reach the tour operator. I could have Ubered to the site for a fraction of the cost and read the well-marked signage and taken the self-guided audio tour.

Fast paced but great knowledge

Fast pace, we moved at a good clip to see all the exhibits. The guide was great with not only facts but stories. The presentation is pretty canned but still good. She gave extra attention to the lip reader in the group as there are no audio with this tour. The morning tour is longer and you get to see a few extra spots. The group size was 12 and that was a great balance.

Excellent tour

Adam was our guide. The tour was very well done. We learned a lot about what happened at Dachau. Adam struck the perfect tone. He talked about what happened, both the horrific and a few inspiring stories of survival. We learned some about the town of Dachau and the struggles after the war over what to do with the camp. A very worthwhile tour.

Sam made the Dachau tour a highlight of our Munich visit.

Our tour guide Sam was very informative about all the aspects of what we saw on the Dachau tour. He described and gave us a great understanding into, not only the horrific events that occurred, but the mindset behind the Nazi Final Solution campaign. Sam made the tour an exceptional but solemn experience.

Great tour, super informative

Informative, thoughtful tour from Alun. Would definitely recommend visiting Dachau with his expertise! He guided us through important locations on around the site and also gave us a good amount of time to explore the museum. He made transportation easy and gave clear practical directions to the group. The tour group size was also relatively small which was a bonus.

Everyone who has the...
