Aileen was an excellent guide. She kept us on time, and had lots of great information. The only thing that would have improved my experience was to be given 5 or so minutes in the rooms with the poster displays. The had some good information and pictures that would have added to my experience.

Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and kind. The experience was great. Our only negative is that we wish she had used an audio vox or some kind of audio system so we could hear what she was saying. All tour guides need them because sometimes we could hear other guides talking in other languages so loudly in we couldn't hear our guide.

This is the tour I needed 20 years ago.
In 2004, my husband and I visited Dachau. We did a self-guided tour. We read the signs, walked around, and left feeling that we learned a lot. Good trip. No complaints.
For context, in 2004, Dachau did not have English-speaking, handheld personal electronic devices. We had to stop and read everything. It took all day to understand the themes of the different parts of the camp.
When you don’t know what the most significant parts of the museum/camp are, it’s easy to pass them by without realizing their significance.
This time (2024), I brought my 19-year-old son. The tour guide added value that a self-guided tour can not provide. I liked 2024 with a tour guide better.
Our guide (Aileen) provided summaries of the purpose of the camp, who was held there, what went on in each part of the camp, and pointed out major areas of interest that I don’t remember from 20 years ago.
Informational tour. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Tips for anyone considering this tour. If you want time to slowly walk around and read things on your own, this is not your tour. This tour is fast-paced and rich in background information. You will not be bored. This is the tour I wish I took 20 years ago. If you want more time at Dachau, just stay until closing after the tour. Google maps is your friend. Just navigate from Dachau Memorial back to Marienplatz (or wherever you want to go).

Our English tour guide Sam was outstanding with his knowledge of Dachau and was happy to answer any questions that were asked. He aIso had to guide 24 people to Dachau by tram, train and bus, which is not easy. I would not hesitate in recommending this tour and especially Sam to be anyone's tour guide. He was amazing!!

We we so lucky to have a wonderful lady named Aileen as our tour guide - she was fantastic. A very moving tour, and presented to us in a very thoughtful way. We had a group of around 20 and Aileen went above and beyond to see if any of us had questions. The tour went for five and a half hours from meeting point to end, and Aileen didn’t try to hurry us at any stage.

This tour offered an excellent history of Dachau. To get to the camp required first 2 subway rides, a train ride, and finally a bus ride. Our guide was great at herding us through the crowded stations. At the camp the guide led us to all the main buildings and places. She was very open to questions. And very knowledgeable. She shared her political opinions quite openly which at times was a bit off putting. But she was very sincere. Be aware there was a lot of walking involved in this tour over gravel at times.

Alex our tour guide was very likeable, knowledgable and honest (I.e. if he had an opinion he would give it, or if there wasn’t a straight answer a difficult question he would say as much) which is excellent for a local Munich person in regards to a difficult past. He was sociable, humorous and knowledgable and had already built a rapport with members of the group who were on a different tour the day before.
Our trip was affected by local transportation issues which delayed us by about an hour or so. Alex was very apologetic despite this problem being out of his hands, and managed the situation by alternating the travel plans with both good humour and renowned German efficiency.
Thank you Alex. A very insightful, moving and worthwhile trip.
