Dachau
RICHARD_B, May 2024
This was one history lesson delivered most professionally and respectfully. An essential visit. No generation should miss the opportunity to take this in.
Superb!
Timothy_A, May 2024
Our guide Alun was superb. His knowledge was second to none and he treated the 'delicate' history with great understanding. All travel arrangements went without hitch. Would highly recommend.
Incredibly enlightening experience
Ashley_G, May 2024
Taking a tour with Allun at Dachau was an incredibly enlightening and moving experience. His deep knowledge of the site's history coupled with his empathetic approach made the tour both informative and emotionally impactful. Allun's ability to convey the significance of Dachau's legacy while honoring the memories of those who suffered there was truly commendable. I highly recommend his tour to anyone seeking a profound understanding of this important chapter in history. Additionally, Allun's punctuality ensured that our tour ran smoothly, and the perfectly timed duration allowed us to explore every aspect of Dachau without feeling rushed.

Worth doing this tour
Suzanne_P, Apr 2024
Excellent tour. Our guide Alan did a great job explaining a very challenging subject. He was informative and compassionate. I would not have wanted to do this without a guide
Response from Host, Apr 2024

Insightful
Patrick_G, Apr 2024
Knowledgeable and friendly guide, described the history of the camp vividly. Watch out for the cold weather, even in late April.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thanks for taking the time to submit a review. It was great to guide you at the Memorial. All the best.
Balanced on an unbalanced event.
Tiffany_H, Apr 2024
This is a historical site that provides a real and very present setting of one of the most horrendous events in history so a tough one but necessary to experience. Alun was the perfect balance when presenting facts, stories of reality, and historical references. Alun is also well versed in “how” to get there and back and experience the site. Logistics can be challenge and when your overwhelmed with emotions not always a good combination. We took our 16 year old with us and our group walked away as friends. The size of our group (8 guests, 1 guide). More would not have provided the same experience. I can’t imagine visiting for the first time without a guide to inform and provide guidance to navigate.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thanks Tiffany, for your positive feedback. I am delighted that your experience was of value to you and your family. It was great to meet you. All the best!
Brilliant.
Kayla_P, Apr 2024
This tour was brilliant. Easy pick up and drop off. Allan is amazing; his knowledge is unreal. The small group size is a massive bonus; no getting lost and no missing out on information. Allan answers all question and welcomes debate regarding the human condition. Allan has the tour really well planned out in terms of time. He gives you so much information that you can match up that which you've seen and heard to the photos and artefacts within the museum. For such a heavy subject this amount of time is probably just right. As much as you think you want to spend the entire day, this just gives you a reason to visit again.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Many thanks for your much valued feedback. Delighted that you got value from your experience. All the best.
Outstanding Small Group Tour
Stephen_M, Apr 2024
Dachau is a chilling and sobering place so it helped immensely to have an experienced and knowledgeable guide to navigate the site. Alum made the entire experience effortless from meeting us in central Munich to leading us on the train and bus to Dachau (with prearranged tickets). His insight while at Dachau was thought provoking. The small group format was very efficient. He even allowed us free time at the site before leading us back to Munich. Excellent!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thanks Stephen for your positive feedback. Really happy that you got value from your experience. All the best!
Excellent tour with an excellent guide!
Christopher_P, Mar 2024
I highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to experience Dachau without having to worry about the logistics of getting there. On top of that Alun is an incredible guide who has deep knowledge of a difficult topic.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thanks Chris for your positive feedback. Greatly appreciated and delighted you had a positive experience. All the best!
Very emotional experience
Jacques_R, Mar 2024
We had a great tour with Allan who provided an excellent introduction to what brought about the genesis of the labour camp concept in 1923 and just the right dosage of guide provided information and self discovery of the camp site.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thankyou Jacques, for taking the time to review your experience. It was great to meet you and your family. Probably just a typo, but remember the camp opened in I 1933 not 23. I wish you well.
Alan is the best
Tom_r, Mar 2024
Alan our tour guide was wonderful. A small group tour where there is plenty of opportunity to ask questions and the right amount of time to explore on your own. A five hour tour from Munich is the correct time. I would highly recommend a guided tour, you would so much of the the little things and the context if you went by yourself
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thanks Tom, for your humbling review. It was a delight to guide you at the Memorial. I wish you well.

Somber but important
Sherry_T, Dec 2023
This was a somber but very important tour and I’m so glad we did it. Our tour guide, Alan, was extremely knowledgeable, and very passionate about sharing the experiences of the victims who were subjected to torture at this horrible place. We learned so much, and I’m so glad we did the tour. Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Many thanks for your humbling review. Great to meet you! All the best.
Very informative tour of Dachau Concentration Camp with a knowledgeable guide
Sandy_F, Dec 2023
Arun is a wonderful tour guide and I highly recommend this tour if you are in the Munich area. Dachau is an interesting site about a very sad time in history, and is well worth seeing. Arun is very knowledgeable about this site. He is friendly and runs a well organized tour. My husband, brother-in-law and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Arun.
