Poignant and Educational Tour - The Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site tour was a poignant and educational experience. It provided invaluable insight into a dark chapter of history while emphasizing the importance of remembrance and ensuring that the lessons learned are never forgotten. Our tour guide, Mark (German Mark) approach ensured that the tour remained respectful to the memory of the victims, fostering an atmosphere of reflection and remembrance among the visitors
I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a profound understanding of World War II history and the human experience during that era. It's a sombre yet necessary exploration that leaves an indelible mark on one's conscience and understanding of the past.

A great tour lead by knowledgeable guide - Nicola from Radius Tours is a very knowledgeable and welcoming person. This tour ran perfectly and we didn’t have to wait around for trains/ buses ect. Lots of walking is involved, so wear comfortable shoes. Buy your snacks before venturing out as it can be costly. This tour is incredibly moving and doesn’t hold back telling the real story of Dachau - can be confronting especially if you walk through the gas chambers.

Everyone should see this. An important part of history. - A sobering experience made a bit more easy to digest by our knowledgeable guide Iain who knew when to inject a bit of lighter information between the heavier/more horrible information presented. Enjoyed the tour.

Absolutely worth it! - Our guide Karlotta definitely made all the difference. For me it makes no sense to go without a guide...
Not only she was very knowledgeable but also had a good sense of humour, which she managed to fit in this emotionally heavy visit.
She was very eloquent and you can tell she's a pro from the first few minutes.
For anyone that knows a couple of things about the war and comes from a country destroyed by the Axis Powers, this place means a lot. I was constantly moved, and the guide of course had to do a lot with that.
I'm 100% satisfied with the whole thing. 👍🏻
