Dachau Small-Group Half-Day Tour from Munich By Train
Overview
Dachau is one of the most well preserved camps in all of Europe and a visit to a camp should be on every travelers itinerary. Dachau was the first camp set up in NAZI Germany, was the model for all other camps and was the only camp running for the entire 12 years of the Third Reich. This authorized full tour of the Dachau Memorial is a half day tour traveling via train from Munich at 9:00 and arriving back approximately 14:00. Your guide will not only explain in detail the horrors of the camp system but the plight of the various victims that suffered under this brutal system of murder and oppression, the rise of the NAZI party and many other events that took place throughout the 3rd Reich and World War 2.

My family and I (3) had a wonderful tour to Dachau with James. There were 5 other people on the tour, and the small group atmosphere made it extremely easy to ask questions and learn a lot. Given that it was a very somber tour subject, James did a wonderful job keeping it respectful and appropriate. Although we didn't have free time to tour the museum on our own, James told us essentially the same information so I didn't feel like I was missing anything. I would definitely recommend this tour to friends!RL S

James was extremely knowledgeable and very respectful. This is a great way to learn about the camp and more importantly the prisoners. The small tour size gives you more time to ask questions. If you are going to visit, James is your best choice.
