Very thoughtful and powerful presentation
Scenic25237636616, Sept 2025
Michael was easy to deal with. We had a pretty large group that was mostly middle aged and older. We had one guest in a wheelchair. Michael was very attentive to all participants. The tour has to tackle some obviously difficult topics which elicit strong emotional responses and Michael did a great job in explaining some of the background and context.
Everyone should go to Dachau to learn about a very terrible and turbulent time in world history

Well worth doing this tour it was quite confronting to hear the history of Dachau and the events that led to what happened here many years ago. Our guide had a excellent knowledge of the history in relation to Dachau and other camps.
Impressive tour and super good guidance by Jessie.
Graafjes, Sept 2025
The tour is incredibly impressive. Jessie has guided us extremely well. The trains did not run according to schedule but this did not stop her from doing the tour extensively despite the huge delay. So took much longer time. Highly recommended.
Must do with guide

Wonderful tour, and great guide. She was very informative, but also personable. Included some information on relation to current times.
