Very meaningful day at Dachau - Tour guide was super nice and answered all our questions with an informed answer, we learned lots from her, likely more than we would have on our own. I don’t remember our tour guides name, but shout out to the younger blonde lady from Munich!

Totally Informative Day at Dachau - Totally informative about Dachau and the historical background that led to the concentration camps. Our guide, Mat, spoke perfect English, was very knowledgeable, and answered any and all questions. Although the subject of the tour is extremely troubling and emotional, Mat’s presentation and manner was positive. There was sufficient time to wander a bit and have light refreshments at the cafeteria.

Meaningful. Significant. Important. Especially with the current state of geopolitics. - Our guide Michael gave us fascinating insights not only about what happened at Dachau, but also what led up to it, and the lingering after effects. Not necessarily a "fun" tour, but an important one if you want to understand "how could that have happened?", and just as importantly, what we can do to make sure it never happens again.

Would highly recommend - Very informative and eye opening experience. I am thankful we booked a guided tour because I do not think we would have learned as much without it. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to understand.

Well worth it! Book the tour! - Amazing! Our tour guide Jessie was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. The museum itself is extensive, without the tour it would have been pretty overwhelming. She did a great job of summarizing and pointing out the most pertinent sites and information. Can’t recommend enough, plus the help with transport to and from was great. As other reviews have stated, where good shoes and bring you winter gear! It was colder in some of the buildings than it was outside. Also, there’s a cafeteria and bookstore at the museum.

Very interesting - Yonah was our guide and his knowledge was great. We met at the tourist information centre in Marienplatz which is right at the subway exit for the town hall. We took a 25 min train and 10 min local bus to the camp. Really massive place with a gruesome history. The tour us 2.5hr at the camp learning the history and stories. You'll see the crematorium, admin building and reconstructed barracks. Tour was great but would have liked time to explore the rooms a bit more.
