Sam was an incredible guide, he was knowledgeable and answered any questions that the group had. He was helpful in navigating the excellent German public transport for those of us who were not familiar with it, and overall he helped highlight many aspects of the camp that would have been missed if we had gone on our own. 5/5 all around and well worth the money. A somber experience without doubt, but one with great importance.
Franz was extremely knowledgeable about the dark subject matter
This was an incredibly moving experience and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Germany. Patricia was an amazing guide! She quickly and efficiently got us to and from Dachau, was great at communicating where and when we needed to be somewhere, and did a fantastic job at pacing within the memorial site. I felt like she cared deeply about the subject matter, which is so important during such a heavy experience. If you get Patricia as your guide, you’ll be in good hands!
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and overall excellent. Also made good recommendations for lunch after the tour.
This tour is a good prelude to Auschwitz for travelers whom wanted to have a taste of how POWs’ lived and the conditions of concentration camp in Germany during WW2. In addition, it is a good experience for time starved / first time travelers to take public transport to Dachau. There will be an hour left to travelers (free and easy) to explore and roam around the site on their own which was fantastic! Our tour guide, Ian, was knowledgeable, providing great insights and invited travelers to ask any questions that we may have. I will strongly recommend this tour for travelers whom had limited time to explore Germany’s dark past and curious to explore the concentration camps.
A must visit for all who wants to know more about the War and a reminder to us living about what the prisoners went through so that we don't allow history like this to repeat itself. The only concentration camp to be functional during the entire 12 years reign of the Nazi party from 1933 to 1945. Also the first concentration camp to be built and was the training and reeducation place of the SS (Nazi army) for all other concentration camps in Europe.
Was easy to get here from the Central Station Hbf in Munich. Take the S2 train to Bahnhof, Dachau, then take a transfer to 726 bus. Will take you there and back. The visitation center has your free toilette, Cafe with food, drinks, and warm coffee and hot chocolate which was well needed for this cold day. The people at the visitor center was nice and spoke English well. Rental an audio tour guide that was useful, but honestly I enjoyed reading all the materials and posters there. The camp was amazing, and everyone was respectful there. Everyone was speaking low for respect, similar to 911 Memorial Museum in NY.
It feels more like an exhibition than a museum—quite disappointing, to be honest. It should convey the horror of what took place there, but it doesn't. The fact that there are regular houses just behind the fence, where people live, blew my mind. What goes through people's heads to make it okay for them to have a view of a death camp from their window?
We went with a guided tour with Radius Tours. From Munich, we traveled by train and bus to get to the memorial site. We were with 'German Mark' ...not to be confused with the other Mark 😉 and he provided a lot of insight to the history and development of this memorial site. We came to Munich for Oktoberfest and spent the following morning here. It was sobering, though provoking, impactful, and necessary. You could easily spend the majority of the day here. They do provide self guided audio tours. Someone that we met at our hotel did the audio tour and enjoyed the content. You get a lot of content in the various areas and it's great to see that they are utilizing the space to remember what happened there. It was a very powerful experience.
Absolutely incredibly powerful place to visit. It’s very well presented and managed - combination of extensive museum exhibits with text (multiple languages), artifacts, real life stories, videos, and pictures. Be sure to read as much as possible as you tour. There are memorials and public art throughout the site that represent many different backgrounds of the victims impacted. Careful reconstruction has been done on a few buildings, some original buildings remain, and much of the open ground is there from where original buildings once stood. We spent nearly 4.5 hours there and could have easily spent longer as learned lots. Audio guides in different languages are available.
