We appreciated having a local guide to share information about Dachau. Michael was great and VERY knowledgeable. Personally, we would have loved to have just a bit more time (maybe even just 30 min more on the total tour time) to also be able to look at the displays in the Maintenance building. Great tour overall.

Visiting the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial is an amazing and transformational experience. Michael, our tour guide, provided lots of details, and gave us lots of information and answers to every question. The tour is a must if you come to visit Munich!
Mike_Z, Jul 2026
Very informative and impactful. Great guide in Charlotte. It was great for everyone to see what happened at Dachau and learn from those mistakes.
Deborah_M, Jul 2026
Everyone should take this tour. Guide was passionate about topic. Those imprisoned here deserve respect and remembrance. How can mankind be so evil? What made people not revolt and step up? You decide.
Paul_D, Jul 2026
Very informative. Our guide was well versed in the subject that was discussed. Would definitely recommend to those who are interested in learning about the horrors of the the Third Reich

Amazing educational tour. This is a very sad memorial and Ulrich did a fantastic job of giving us the information.
Rachel_P, Jul 2026
Was well organised and tour guide was very informative ,maybe would have liked a little longer there to have a drink and wonder round at own pace , time to reflect

If you only have a few hours to visit the Dachau Concentration Camp then this tour is as good as any I guess. In retrospect, I wish I would just have gone on my own so that I could have had a slower pace to honor the many lives lost on these grounds. In the tour, you hit the basics but there is little time to linger in areas that might have interest for you.

This is one of those excursions that everyone should take part in. The trip to this concentration camp is a critical look at real life history. A sobering experience to say the least. It starts on a local train as it’s not that far from downtown Munich. It doesn’t take an imagination to feel what prisoners of that day felt as he walked through the grounds. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very honest about what happened in those days. I would recommend this to anyone who travel to Germany, just to get a feel of what it was really like to be tangled up in that war.

Plan for amazing, emotional and overwhelmingly important experience that is timely and essential experince. Conni was great and sensitive to all.
Michelle_S, Jul 2026
I booked our tour and was so happy with our experience. We learned so much from the moment went boarded the train. If, we went on our own we would not have learned so much and the experience would have not been the same. Conni was wonderful and had so much to share with us. I highly recommend it
Andy_S, Jun 2026
It was a humbling experience and our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. She really helped us understand the history.
Lynne_F, Jun 2026
Alex was an excellent tour guide. He gave us enough information but not too much so it was not overwhelming- he kept it interesting and was very knowledgeable
Chris_M, Jun 2026
Guide was very friendly and informative. Felt like walking back in time and seeing a piece of history, a dark piece of human history. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys learning about history
Kim_P, Jun 2026
The tour left earlier than advertised and left without us. No response from the tour provider. Horrible experience. But- we were easily able to find our way to Dachau ourselves and the audioguide was inexpensive and excellent. Do not book this tour. Completely unnecessary. Just visit Dachau on your own
Karyn_T, Jun 2026
Michael was absolutely incredible. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and truly went above and beyond to make our experience meaningful. It ended up feeling like a private tour, as he really took his time with our family and made sure we fully understood the history and significance of everything we were seeing.
What stood out most was how thoughtful and compassionate he was. He even led a moment of silence for our family and helped us look up family members, which made the experience deeply personal and emotional.
We left feeling so grateful for the time we spent with him. If you’re considering this tour, we highly recommend requesting MichaelX — he made the experience unforgettable.

Our guide, Charlotte, was great! She was very knowledgeable and personable!
So glad we did this tour! It was definitely eye opening!
AnneMarie_O, Jun 2026
Our guide, Michael, did a great job guiding our group through Dachau. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Hitler and his murderous regime. He handled the heaviness of subject manner with great respect to all the victims. I recommend this tour.
Shawn_M, Jun 2026
Well organized and extremely informative tour. Got way more from this tour than could have by visiting on my own. Aileen was our leader, she was fantastic. Should could be teaching college level courses on the subjects discussed!
Greg_H, Jun 2026
I appreciated having a knowledgeable guide when visiting a place like Dachau. It helped to provide subtext and clarity which you can’t get on a solo visit
dan_m, Jun 2026
Very interesting and a very knowledgeable and efficient guide! Thank you! She really was well organized !!!
Austin_E, Jun 2026
what a humbling experience! the grounds are massive, it’s easy to spend a lot of time there if you don’t have a proper guide. carolina was great. she made sure to highlight the important aspects and keep everything palatable.
cynthia_g, Jun 2026
Aileen was prompt/ courteous, and knowledgeable. This quite possibly was one of the best tours we did in the three weeks we have been in Europe.
Everything just moved smoothly. This experience has really sold me on trying more Viator tours.
Suzan_S, Jun 2026
Carlotta did a beautiful job as our guide. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about Dachau’s history. She was interesting to listen to and not at all boring. Only wish we had more time there.
Elja_B, Jun 2026
Our visit to Dachau was an impressive experience. Thanks in large part to the lovely guide Conni, it became an unforgettable journey through this intense yet important part of history. Conni had a remarkable ability to strike just the right tone: engaged, respectful, and above all, deeply sincere. Through her knowledge and personal stories from, among others, former prisoners, she brought the history very close to us. At times visibly moved by what she shared, she put into words what is almost impossible to comprehend and offered a powerful perspective on what took place there — events that are nearly impossible to truly grasp when visiting a place like Dachau.
Dachau itself is carefully preserved and offers a clear impression of what it looked like at the time. This place invites reflection and confronts you with the connection between past and present, in a world where unrest and hardship are still very much present. It highlights how important it is to pause and reflect on this history — to never forget, to remain aware of what has happened, and to carry that awareness into how we act and what we pass on to those around us.

We had a nice small group. At lot of information but one needs a whole day to go through all the exhibits. Difficult history but Michael, our tour guide explained with respect.
Ian_H, May 2026
Michael was a great tour guide
I particularly like the way he contextualised what led up to the third Reich, what happened in the camp and what happened after the war was over.
Jen_T, May 2026
Can be very emotional. Lots of great information shared but hardly any time to spend time within the exhibits reading and reflecting on our own.
rochellesnook, May 2026
Visiting Dachau is an absolute must for anyone visiting Munich, both for adults and kids. Visiting with a tour guide ensures that you get the intimate stories and history that brings the memorial site to life.
Michael was our tour guide and the knowledge and passion he has for the history of the site is evident and is felt heavily throughout the tour. Would 100% recommend.
Michael_F, May 2026
Fantastic tour!! Our guide was magnificent and easily guided our group through 2 trains and a bus all while keeping everyone informed on every aspect of our trip to Dachau. At Dachau our guide answered every question with a full knowledge of historical events. I cannot say enough good things about our guide. Great experience which brought us a realistic and amazing day
