Must join Tour

We joined the tour in July 2025. It was a good experience to learn more about history from the tour guide, an Australian gentleman who was very friendly, informative and professional. Highly recommend the tour if never been to the Concentration Camp.
Dachau Tour with Adam
Dinday_C, Jan 2026
We could not have asked for a better tour guide. Adam was extremely knowledgeable, honest, and very effective in managing the group. He presented the history clearly and thoughtfully, striking the right balance between facts and humanity. Logistically, the tour was very smooth - we took a train to Dachau followed by a short bus ride to the site, and everything was well organized. The experience itself was deeply sobering, but I am very glad we did it. You can read about this period in history, but visiting an actual concentration camp is entirely different - it truly hits you on a deeper level. This is something that should never happen again. I was emotional throughout the tour, so it’s important to know that this is a heavy and intense experience. If you’re visiting with children, I highly recommend planning something light or uplifting afterward.
Well worth it
Sam_C, Jan 2026
This tour is on public transport, you are guided onto trains and then a bus. But this isn’t an issue and the guide takes you through this. Our guide, Aileen, was approachable and knowledgeable. Summised the site well, and gave us adequate time to explore on our own.
Great educational experience

Very enlightening and well organised tour. Adam guided us through the camp site well, provided excellent commentary, and was helpful in answering our questions
