Don't Search Elsewhere--Book Jamie for your English speaking Dachau tour NOW! - Jamie is hands-down the BEST tour guide we've ever had. We would not hesitate to recommend him. Obviously he is very knowledgable about Dachau and related topics, but it was the little things he shared that I doubt other tour guides took the time for. Just little facts about the site, the events, etc, that made this a really powerful tour for our family.
We loved he gave us some free time to either revisit some parts, visit the church memorials, or the bookshop. We did all three quickly.
Was also very nice to go on a tour where all the details (train, station, tickets, etc. were handled). A nice break from a self-organized tour of Munich, Salzburg, and Vienna for our family.

Informative and good amount of time! - Jamie was a great guide. He had a lot of knowledge to share and presented it well and concisely with a lot of respect. A well organized tour to Dachau. Easy to find the meeting point too. We had just the right amount of time. Half day tour was perfect!

A powerful and moving experience - After many years or reading and hearing about the atrocities of the concentration camps, nothing prepares you for witnessing Dachau in person. A haunting and moving experience for my family as Dachau puts you in the footsteps of the prisoners that were sent there. A must see tour hosted by our friendly and very knowledgeable tour guide Jamie who provided the additional context not often provided by an audio guide.

Important, informative tour that was smoothly run - It was such a smooth and timely experience. The group was about 30 people and our guide did an excellent job informing us of the details and history of Dachau. She was knowledgeable and answered all the questions.
The logistics were smooth, and our guide kept us informed what we had to do.
This is an important place and a reminder to people. I’m so glad I took this tour.
