A very moving trip and the tour guide had extensive knowledge and was willing to answer every question asked of him. A shame the weathewr wasnt nicer to us but it did highlight the miserable conditions the people suffered during their detention in Dachau.

Snowy day which was fitting for a tour of Dachau. Our tour guide was invaluable to this tour. His knowledge of the history of the camp before the war and during helped to understand the memorial. Would not have fully understood the information on our own.

I found the Dachau tour both interesting and sobering. It was my first time to visit a former concentration camp. The exhibits were set up well and our guide, Jeff, did a wonderful job of keeping us moving from place to place, seeing the most worthwhile parts of the tour, and sharing a lot of history and interesting stories with us as part of our walk around the camp. It was very well done and it is something I would recommend to anyone who can do it so as to "never forget" the horrors of this part of history.

The Dachau Tour was very informative and our guide was very knowlegeable of Dachau. She was very attentive to the size of the group, keeping us informed on the train and bus on our way to Dachau. The tour was well organized and allowed plenty of time for reflection at many of the exhibits and buildings. Throughout she would stop our group and have additional information for us.

This was the best purchase of my time in Munich. Our tour guide (Achim?) was so knowledgeable about Dachau. The only downside is that you do not have time to stop and read all the different things in the exhibition. However, some of my travel group did purchase a book of the entire exhibit. I felt we were given more than enough info to make up for not reading the exhibition material

I thought the tour was very very good. It was a moving experience going to Dachau and I appreciated the guide's emphasis on respect (e.g. not allowing anyone to take photos of themselves in the gas chamber). While the guide's goal of learning everyone's name was a nice touch (and did contrast with the prisoner's namelessness), it sometimes felt like a time waster (but that's a minor point). All in all, an excellent tour. The guide was very interested and knowledgeable. Wish we had more time to walk around ourselves.

Our tour guide, Kevin, was nice but talked a lot. He knew an exceptional amount about the history of Dachau. We heard later there was a good video presentation at the camp, but our tour didn't get to see it which is disappointing. We did get to see most other parts of the camp, though.

We recently took a couple of tours with Radius during our stay in Munich for Oktoberfest. I cannot recommend them enough. Both tour guides (Steve for Dachau and Ian for Salzburg) were extremely knowledgeable and personable. They were incredibly insightful and added the perfect amount of humor to the large groups in town for Oktoberfest. I would suggest using Radius for any tour needs while in Munich.

I was on the Dachau Concentration Camp Tour with my fiance and parents on November 9, 2012 with tour guide Nicola; what a fantastic guide she was. I have never met a guide more knowledgeable or passionate about her tour, and she did such a great job conveying the stories of what happened at the concentration camp.
I am a travel agent from Toronto and have been on my fair share of tours, and really just wanted to share with you how above and beyond she went with her service. I will definitely recommend Radius Tours to any of my clients visiting Munich.

The tour guide was very knowledgable, providing much insight into the entire visit. I discovered how much I really did not know about Dachau and the entire Concentration Camp system.

First we missed our bus at the station in Dachau so we stood around in the rain for 40 minutes for the next one. That was the beginning of a very disappointing tour!Our guide seemed to be bored and uninterested in what he was doing. He did not give us enough time to look, read and absorb what we were seeing. after hearing other tour guides with their group, we soon realized we did not really even have a guide per se! We only had 20 minutes at the end to try to run around and absorb as much as we could. We would have been better off doing the tour on our own! Our guide was doing another tour in Munich at 3 that afternoon, so he was on a strict deadline to get back to the station for that. He should have focused on our tour and not on what was coming up...

The tour was excellent and we really liked our guide, Anushka. She was very knowledgeable and pleasant and was able to answer everyone's questions and gave us a lot of historical perspective. I gained a lot of insight into what Dachau was all about. A very worthwhile tour for the money. I also liked being able to book it in advance online.

The tour wasw excellent. Kevin the guide set the tone for the tour in the beginning and it was follwed through to the end. He was terrific "herding cats" (us) and keeping things moving. His knowledge and compassion for the tour was commendable. I learned some things I never knew about Dachau.

This type of a trip can be, and was, sad, needless to say. Both my wife and I learned a lot about the camps and there gruesome treatment of their prisoners' in general. Fifteen years previously I had gone to the Dachau camp my myself. Having a knowledgeable guide with us was a very learned experience. Everyone needs to take this tour.
