Munich World War II Sites Including Dachau Concentration Camp

Posted By : jordanmE6770ZA
We did the full day WWII tour, including Dachau and Third Reich. We were with Nick in the morning, then Josh in the afternoon. Both were incredible guides - we learned a ton and had a great day despite the weather! Check in with Radius Tours was easy and in a convenient location (near the central train station). Highly recommend this tour with either Nick or Josh!

Wasn’t sure what to expect on this tour. We arrived at the booking office and were warmly greeted and checked in. Nick was our guide for the day and he didn’t disappoint. He was full of useful facts and knew the history very well…so much so that I left with a better understanding of both Dachau and Munich in general. If you are a World War 2 enthusiast….this tour is for you. Dachau is a very humbling place. Be prepared to walk….a lot….on this tour!!! Overall Nick was a great host and I highly recommend getting him if you can!!

The subject matter is very sobering. However, Sam, our guide, was a treasure trove of knowledge regarding Dachau and the rise of Nazism in the last century. He did not gloss over anything, but did not let the subject become overwhelming. Highly recommended!

We did the combination of visiting Dachau in the morning and the Third Reich Walking Tour in the afternoon. It made for a very full day but the hour or so break in between let you recharge your batteries, which was nice. Both facets of the tour were excellent and highly recommend but the Third Reich Walking Tour with Steve was unquestionably the highlight for us. He was a wealth of information, with his decades of studying the period clearly on display. Although it didn't bother me in the slightest, be aware that your time at Dachau is limited so you can't / won't look at all the displays and artifacts in the on-site museum. If that sort of thing is important to you, a self-guided tour would probably be best.

A must do tour, if you are visiting Munich! The tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about WWII history. I learned so much on this tour despite knowing a lot about WWII and the Holocaust myself. Both the tour of the concentration camp and the tour of Munich's WWII sites was very well done.

Excellent Tour! On this combi Tour I had two tours. My tour guide in the morning, a Spanish lady Lucia took us to Dachau. She was amazing! She was kind and knowledgeable and put the horrific events that took place there in historic and social context. In the afternoon I had Josh, a native german. He took us around the Nazi party historic landmarks. The party started in Munich and many of the keys places where key events took place are in Munich. He again put things in perspective, from a German view point. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all the facts. Josh made sure not to glorifiy these people. He used the tour as an important warning. I would highly recommend this tour!

Lucia was informative and friendly. There is so much to absorb in the time we had so she chose the original parts of the site. It would have been good to have had slightly longer at the end of the formal part to wander alone.

Franz was an excellent guide for Dachau and really painted the picture of how Hitler rose to power and his meticulous approach to lead to the creation of concentration camps and death camps. Learned a great deal while viewing this somber memorial site. Iain was our guide for WWII walking portion. He was also knowledgeable and very good. Two notes: this tour uses public transportation to get to/from Dachau and if it’s busy, that can be problematic for a group so big. We could not get the direct bus to Dachau as a group of students consumed that space, so had to walk extra to get there, which consumed your time. The pace was a bit slow as group size is too big (some with mobility issues), and no ear pieces are used, so you must strain to hear what’s being said. Overall, enjoyed the tours. Would have preferred a smaller group size and dedicated transportation. Be aware that it is a long day with around 6 hours of walking to do both tours in a day (we’re all 60+ but no issues with that).

Jake covered lots of ground and information. He is clearly passionate about this history. Be prepared for lots of walking. Only disappointment was the overlap in information between the two tours. Would certainly recommend the dachau portion of the tour.
