I booked this solo trip and could not recommend it more. I have read a lot about WWII and the concentration camps, but nothing compares to visiting. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to ask questions (event the hard ones). Our group was small enough that you got to know a bit about each other as you traveled to the camp from downtown and not feel lost in the group. I learned a lot of new facts about life in the camp and despite spending all day there, it felt shorter and like there was lots more that we could have stopped and looked at. For the price, it was a worthwhile trip!

I formative guide. You could easily do this using public transportation but I feel that a guide is much more informative.

Our guide, Hein, was excellent. Knowledgable, made sure we knew where we were going and what the rules were for the area. We all learned a lot.
Meet your qualified guide on the Marienplatz. The guide will provide a small briefing on how the tour will run.
Make a transfer from train to the bus, the bus follows the route the prisoners were forced to march. The train station itself is the original and a majority of prisoners would have arrived there before marching to the camp.
While visiting the Dachau Memorial Site you will learn why the camp opened and who were the first prisoners to arrive. You'll also hear about the camp's evolution, development and SS training facilities, as well as the registration, categorization and treatment of prisoners.
See the Jourhaus, the entrance building and gateway into the camp, the roll call square Appellplatz, and Memorial Site Museum in the former maintenance building. Listen to your guide telling you about the barracks, prisoner life and daily routine, camp perimeter fence and guard towers, the International Memorial, Nandor Glid Sculpture, religious memorials and Barrack X, the two crematoriums, mass graves, and the gas chamber.
After the tour of the Dahchau Memorial Site the tour will return you to the start location on Marienplatz.
