I would recommend this tour.

Aileen was great. Her voice was loud enough everyone could hear her. Lots of great information with extra tidbits. She answered all he questions with an expertise like quality.

Jessy gave us a wonderful tour today! We leaned many facts that we did not know and she treated the information with extreme sensitivity. She was kind and patient with our group. Thank you Jessy for an amazing experience.
Damon_G, Apr 2026
We had Jessie as our tour guide and WOW! The best most friendly, knowledgeable guide we have we had in any country, and we have been all over Europe.
She made friends with every person on our tour!
Detailed and conscientious of everyone’s speed, language barriers etc.
Jessie answered every question to the point and without rhetoric or fairy tale stories!
When we booked the excursion we thought “maybe six hours is too long?”
Jessie made it seem like the day breezed by.
On the way back to Munich the train stopped and there was an announcement about the delay. Jessie came right over and explained in English what was going on PHEW!
You are lucky to have Jessie!
Thank you Jessie for a wonderful day!!

The tour was very informative, even if the visit was somber and made us refiect on what had happened in Dachau 80-90 years ago. Our guide was open and honest about the people who committed the atrocities and gave us a good lesson on the history behind what happened and why.
Marilyn_S, Apr 2026
There is a lot of walking.
Connie was an exceptional tour guide! Very knowledgeable and brought it very human.
Jason_M, Mar 2026
I can’t remember the gentleman's name, but our guide had 15 years of experience and was the perfect guide for this very emotional tour. You can’t understand the complexities or the true history of what you’re walking around, but the way he was able to be respectful of the site and bring out more than just a placard made the whole experience great for my daughter and me. It was the right length and a must-visit site for those with time in the area.

Alex, our guide, was just incredible. His depth of knowledge about Dachau and WW2 was just amazing. He took very difficult subject and made it very understandable. His passion for the subject was very evident. The tour departed on time and returned back as well.
Richard_B, Mar 2026
Stephanie did an absolutely amazing job with this tour. She handled a glitch in the transportation system flawlessly! Stephanie shared information throughout the travel time as well as the onsite time. She welcomed questions and did a great job answering them. She was thoughtful and mindful of the difficulty of this tour and was professional and open the entire time. I wish we had more time to attend tours with her. Would request her for future tours without question.
Sarah_P, Mar 2026
Lots of information! Very helpful!

Viewing the actual camp vs. seeing a television documentary or watching a movie about Dachau is far more impactful.
Antonio_S, Mar 2026
It was my third visit to a concentration camp and I really enjoyed every moment of this tour and the guide was very professional
Lynn_S, Mar 2026
It is a very heavy experience as the subject is so dire. Very very informative. Request Michael if you can. He’s brilliant- very knowledgeable and did a lovely job of sharing the details of this very sensitive and horrific time in our world history.
Octavio_M, Mar 2026
Michael was a great tour guide! He did a great job at educating our group. Definitely reccomend doing your tour with Michael
Skyler_H, Feb 2026
Very informative and eye opening experience. I am thankful we booked a guided tour because I do not think we would have learned as much without it. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to understand.
Amanda_N, Jan 2026
What a breathtaking and heartbreaking tour.
A must see for all.
Jessie was an exceptional tour guide.
Monica_B, Jan 2026
Very informative and eye opening experience. Learned so much about the atrocities that happened. Aileen is very knowledgeable. Everyone should see this
Talita_N, Dec 2025
It was intense and insightful. Our guide was well prepared and gave alot of background information and context. Thank you for great experience - in spite of the very cold weather.
Matthew_L, Dec 2025
Talked too much. The tour guide was kind but her voice did not project and she did not speak loud enough for the entire tour to hear. She needs a microphone. Unfortunately we did not get a chance to see the exhibits and artifacts in the museum because our tour guide was talking too much and didn't leave time to explore the artifacts. As someone who is genuinely interested in the history I wish she had gave us time to see the artifacts.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
HI,
sorry, that you didn't like the tour.
We like to apply a voucher to do the tour again with a different guide.
Kind regards

Conni was excellent, provided great details and information that you wouldn't find in a text book. Transportation was easy.
PatriciaDawn_W, Dec 2025
It is shocking to see the pictures of starvation and murder of prisoners, but we all need to see and learn about this history so it never happens again

Alex was a wonderful guide. Very sensitive with the subject matter, but also very knowledgeable. Would recommend.
PAUL_S, Nov 2025
This is a really good experience. In the winter, it can be very cold so dress accordingly our tour guide Jessie was outstanding. She had thorough knowledge of Dachau. She had great experience and shared many survivor stories. We travel there via train and bus. I was an excellent experience.
GORDON_R, Nov 2025
Very emotional and educational experience. Our tour guide was outstanding! I would highly recommend this tour for everyone, with the hope that something like this never happens again.
Kevin_L, Nov 2025
Very informative and we were able to take local transportation, which was a bonus. Glad I went to this experience
Monique_M, Nov 2025
This tour is a must if you are near Munich. The presentation of the camp, those who perished there and those who survived is so thought provoking. You will get so much out of this tour.
Our wonderful tour guide, Jessie, made the day. She is kind and very knowledgeable. She gives to time to read through the exhibitions and answers any question you may have, even my inquisitive son. She made the day so special, making us think about history and how it has affected us to the present. It was a wonderful day.
