Additional Information

A few weeks following Adolf Hitler’s appointment as Reich Chancellor on March 22, 1933, Dachau became the site of a concentration camp for political prisoners. This camp established the blueprint for all future concentration camps and served as a ‘training ground for brutality’ for the SS officers in charge. During its twelve-year span, over 200,000 individuals from across Europe were detained here and in its various satellite camps. Of these, 41,500 were killed. On April 29, 1945, the remaining survivors were freed by American forces.

At the Dachau concentration camp, a knowledgeable guide will provide a private tour for your group.

Visit Dachau to learn from our past - Learned so much about the history of Dachau and holocaust details. Was pleasantly surprised that the tour was not grisly or depressing-historical, timely, and we must learn from the past to protect our futures. Viator should have explained we would have been part of a larger tour group at Dachau. Private tour was transportation only; Rob was fantastic. He gave us information on the area history that enhanced our Dachau experience.

Excellent customizable tour - Excellent customized pick up/ drop off with Suzart Tours. Driver, Seba did a great job getting us to and from our port in Regensburg. The Memorial site is well planned out with indoor exhibits, a movie and a free tour of the grounds with a knowledgeable guide. Very sobering although vital as we must never forget!

Excellent Job customizing the tour - Everything went as planned from pick up to drop off. The driver was prompt and did a great job getting us to and from our river cruise port. We always received prompt replies via email when planning and confirming our trip. The Memorial site is very well planned with a movie, exhibits and a walking tour with a guide.

Dachau trip - Our driver was very good and we enjoyed our trip with him. But I do have to say on Viator’s ad it said it would be just our group and our guide. We were disappointed to be put with a group of over 30 people to tour Dachau with no microphones or boxes to hear. I would suggest you be clearer that the only private part of the “tour” is the ride. That said our guide at Dachau was exceptional and we were grateful that despite being seeing online that our particular date was full we called and the Viator rep went out of his way to get us in. So thank you!!

Great custom tour and transfer - I have wished to visit Germany for a variety of reasons and attractions, really if you haven’t yet…if you can - do it; if you can’t - save for it. Rob (our tour guide) was great - we talked for the entire 2 hour ride about Dachau, Nuremberg, Bavaria, amd Munich amongst other connections both for WWII (pre/during/post) and The Cold War. We coordinated with Suzarts for a combo tour and transfer which was most advantageous given we had no other contingency with the recent train strike. Our first day arriving in Frankfurt was disrupted by the strike with the 10:36 ICE train getting cancelled while we were waiting on the platform. Having a car prearranged on Day two was a relief as we would have had a similar challenge the next day. Rob was also punctual across the board and made sure we made everything we planned. All we had to do was roll out of bed, check out, and meet Rob where he was waiting for us at our arranged time. Then at Dachau - he managed a hand off to the Camp Memorial tour guide and we remained in touch throughout the tour. The tour was amazing - plan a full day if you have an interest in this history. The memorial is incredibly moving and well presented. Following the tour - Rob dropped us at our hotel in Munich making our trip from Nuremberg incredibly easy. We arranged a custom private tour and transfer from Nuremberg to Dachau and then terminating in Munich - so probably 6 or more hours of driving and about 3-4 hours of history for Rob, full coordination of the tour, complete control over the time, and all details in Dachau (outside of lunch, which was understood up front). Work with Suzarts - I’d recommend if you’re coming into Frankfurt and plan on spending time in Bavaria.

An easy way to get to Dachau - Make sure you read all of the description. The title says private tour, but when you get to Dachau, it is a combined tour...caught us off guard a bit. Especially for the price, I would have expected a private tour at Dachau, not just the private transfer. Saying that, the guide we had at the camp was excellent, engaged and informative, just not private. The transfer driver Rob, was great. Gave us a good rundown on relevant German history, was funny and friendly. The private car was spacious, but more truck-like than car-like in suspension. Some of the seats were quite limited in their view, so on the way out I could not see much, but I sat up the front with Rob on the way back and it was more comfortable. Still like sitting in a truck, but at least I could see what was going on.
