Great historical experience - It was a very poignant experience. Our guide Carlotta was very passionate and narrated events with respect. She even asked thought- provoking questions to keep the tour interactive. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Munich.

Dachau Walking Tour IT IS! - We are very fit ( prof athletes) but a LOT of walking and fast pace in between. Which was perfectly described on your website ! Connie our tour guide was awesome and very knowledgeable, great communicator and made it even more touching by adding pictures and stories from victims she had come across personally. Highly recommend the tour, incl the bus ride on an insanely cramped bus lol!

Michael an excellent guide - Michael was an excellent guide. Punctually at meeting place, and shepherded us through the S Bahn and then bus to Dachau. Was extremely respectful of the site and it's history and truthful about events there, no glossing over. Asked group to join in minutes silence in memory of those souls who had suffered so egregiously only to perish. Very poignant visit, as my father, a NZ POW in Stalag VIIA was liberated April 29th 1945, hours after US Forces liberated Dachau, and he witnessed first hand the state of some political prisoners from Dachau brought to Moosburg for care. Thankyou Michael

Worth it! - This tour was sobering and important to experience. I learned so much from our tour guide Charlotte. She really has command of the history of Dauchau and the WW2 period in Germany/Europe in general. It was great.

Overpriced and Under delivered! - The tour guide, while knowledgable, was difficult to understand. The description led me to believe private transportation was included, especially based on the price. The tour was double the cost of other tours. Lastly, the guide left two hours early along with other members of the group (they didn’t like the tour) so I didn’t get what I paid for. We finished up the site in our own. I’m extremely dissatisfied and request a partial refund!
