Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Afternoon Tour from Munich

Munich, Germany

Dachau was the most infamous of WWII concentration camps and represents a time in modern history that should never be forgotten. Your afternoon tour to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial will be both moving and disturbing, and is not recommended for children.

Driving through the village of Dachau, you will reach the site of the former concentration camp. Built in 1933, Dachau was the first Nazi concentration camp and it is believed to have "processed" over 200,000 prisoners of World War II.

The main hall houses photographs and models of the camps, and gives you an insight into the horrendous acts against humanity that were often performed at the camp. In the grounds surrounding the main hall, you will find the crematorium, reconstructed bunkers and a disguised gas chamber.

You will have plenty of time to visit the memorial site, the museum and view the documentary film shown in the main hall at around 3:30pm. There is no guided tour on site, however your guide will give you information and answer any questions on the way to and from Dachau.

I would have preferred a little more history. The bus ride was longer than the time we got to tour.

This is the second concentration camp I have visited and it was very much a blueprint for how they were all established. It was intereting but we could have done with an extra hour really to make sure we viewed and read everything, although maybe not everyone reads all the info in museums! The tour guide was informative.

This tour was the best part of my trip. I was amazed at what is still at the camp and our tour guide was very nice.

The tour could have been longer, ran out of time.

Trip could have started a bit earlier for more time at the site.

Great tour and a humbling experience. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared personal family experiences related to the camp. Should have had another 30 minutes on the tour.

It is a definite must if you visit Munich.

Review by: Elaine J, Australia	August 2007
We chose to start our tour of Munich with Dachau. We could not describe the experience rather than to say it is history, it happened, and we had wanted to go there and see it for ourselves.

Sobering!

Review by: Richie M, United Kingdom	June 2007
The museum is excellent, and this is a fascinating experience in an historical sense, albeit disturbing and shocking, that should be treated not as just another day tour, but with remembrance of and respect to the people who perished there. The site is a profound reminder of the indescribable horror committed by the Nazi regime, and as a warning from history that should not be forgotten.

A well-planned and moving trip. The tour guide was interesting & informative, told us about the main things we should see & then we had plenty of time to look round on our own, which I prefer.

Review by: Nadja J, United States of America	June 2007
This was a great tour. I liked the way that we could spend the time at Dachau on our own without the guide speaking to us the entire time. The only thing is that there wasn't really enough time to spend at the Dachau site. Our guide was very friendly and also showed us the Allianz arena on the way back. The only thing I would change is a longer stop at Dachau.

With this tour there is so much to see and read in the archive museum as well as seeing the grounds etc with the tour guide along with a movie. The tour could do with another half hour to an hour as the archive museum is not possible to do in depth.

Review by: Randlett E	September 2006
My husband and I took several trips and sometimes we had to meet the tour someplace other than our hotel. I can't begin to tell you how hard that was for us, as we were new to these cities and had a hard time finding the meeting places. We are both senior citizens and could have used more assistance.
