Overview

Dachau is one of the most well preserved camps in all of Europe and a visit to a camp should be on every travelers itinerary. Dachau was the first camp set up in NAZI Germany, was the model for all other camps and was the only camp running for the entire 12 years of the Third Reich. This authorized full tour of the Dachau Memorial is a half day tour traveling via train from Munich at 9:00 and arriving back approximately 14:00. Your guide will not only explain in detail the horrors of the camp system but the plight of the various victims that suffered under this brutal system of murder and oppression, the rise of the NAZI party and many other events that took place throughout the 3rd Reich and World War 2. As we are a small independent company we go above and beyond to give our guests a memorable experience. Our small group tours have a maximum number of 18 guests per tour ensuring a personable experience.

What an amazing experience. We had 48 hours in Munich and decided to do this tour. James gave us the information where to meet in advance, and from the start was so great. We were a small group of 7 total. and The great benefit of having James to guide us meant we were able to get additional information and insight of the experience, plus we were able to navigate the site to avoid the larger tour groups, whilst not missing any key parts of the experience. We were unsure about what to expect having not visited anything like this before, but we are so glad we did - incredibly informative, moving and truly remarkable. Thank you James. Tips: Take some water with you. There is an on site cafeteria if needed. Wear comfy shoes - it’s a fairly large site to walk around. Try not to be too time bound. Whilst this is only a half day tour, it would be such a shame to have to rush the experience if you have to be somewhere else so soon after.

James was an incredible guide and shared some of his wealth of knowledge. He allowed many questions and shared his stories and the best way to see the camp. He had lots of bonus stories that were important to hear as well. Highly recommend. Loved the small group as well so it felt more personal.

James provided us with a fact-filled day as we toured the Dachau camp. We've toured other camps and James was able to add to our knowledge and understanding of this tragic period in time., explaining the relationship between them. There is so much to see and take-in, that we could have easily stayed several hours longer. James definitely knows his subject matter and relates well to all ages.
