Alun was one of the best tour guides we've ever had. He explained the history behind Dachau and helped us understand things that were happening in Germany in order to truly understand how a place like this opened. It was an incredible experience and I would highly recommend booking this tour.

I wish I could remember the tour guide's name, I'm sorry, but he really did add so much extra value to the tour. He looked after his charges very well. He gave us so much valuable information on the tour through Dachau. It was a gloomy, cool, drizzly day and this just emphasised the despair and desperateness the inmates of this camp would have felt. Touring a place like this is something everyone should do so that you really do have a lasting impression of the suffering experienced and that this should never, ever happen again. Take this tour. You won't be sorry.

Steve, our British tour guide, was excellent, having a wealth of knowledge about the history of Dachau and the development of the Memorial. Headsets would have improved the tour because it was somtimes difficult to get close enough to Steve to hear him, particularly with so many other people and tour groups at the site.

Guide and tour were excellent. But because of the shortness of the tour we found that we had to return to Dachau on our own in order to go through the Museum which was truly the heart and soul of the trip.

We were told to arrive at 9:00 am to depart at 9:15. We left at 9;30 hurrying to catch train arriving in Dachau late thus missing bus. Jeff talked to us for 25 mins in rain till bus came. Alot of our time was wasted. Then going around only part of the camp. I felt he didn't have the knowledge about the camp or was bored with it all. He left us about 45 mins to walk around the camp ourselves. I was over hearing other tour guides explain alot more things that we were not told to us. We met back by the bus wasting more time waiting while he pushed other tours to be offered and of course hinting for a good write up. Very disappointed tour.

Excellent tour. This was my second visit to Dachau. During my first visit, about six years ago, I toured myself but we opted for a guided tour this time. The knowledge of our tour guide made the experience more interesting and I learned a lot about the history of the camp that I missed on my first visit.

This is by far the most powerful tour we took during our trip to Europe. Ian was our guide and he was amazing.
He did a wonderful job telling the story of Dachau and the history of the rise of Nazi power while telling the stories of those held prisoner in the camp.
I think the people the just walk through or rent the audio guides are missing out on a powerful presentation of history as told by the guides on this particular tour.

WOW is the first thing that comes to mind to describe our day trip to Dachau. The memorial is very tastefully done, and the materials and subject matter respectfully presented, which seems amazing, I know, in light of the events that took place at this location. Our RADUIS TOURS guide, KEITH, was nothing short of phenomenal. His knowledge and attention to every known detail about Dachau will stun you. He helped make the tour subject more approachable, while at the same time, not minimizing the brutal reality of where we were, and what we were talking about. Be sure to ask for a tour that KEITH is conducting. It's a VERY sobering experience to visit Dachau. Be prepared to walk a bit with most all of the surfaces being gravel. I highly recommend this tour with Keith!

I toured Dachau on my own while stationed in Germany while in the service during the 1970's. I learned so much with the tour. Things I just walked by had some significance once explained by Keith, our guide. He is very knowledgable on Dachau and his style of explaining things was very interesting

Maxine was great a tour guide (very informative and pointed out sites along the way). I think it is important to include Dachau on any first time trip to Munich. To see this travesty that should never happen again.

Jeff-our tour guide from Radius Tours -was excellent. Our group was small due to the inclement weather conditions(which kept the crowds at Dachau down). I highly recommend this tour company

We were disappointed to find out it was via public transportation to get to Dachau. The tour itself was very informative, however, since we had purchased a three day subway pass our transportation was already covered and we could have done a 2.5 hour tour once there for $3 euros pp.

I cannot emphasize enough how necessary it is to go on this tour. Do not give the Dachau concentration camp a miss if you go to Munich. it is raw, touching, emotional, informative and you will learn things that you never knew.
We had an amazing guide. Pity his name escapes me. He was very tall and broad and is German. Spoke excellent English. He took us on a journey during this tour and made you feel like you were there when it happened. He treated the information and place with respect and it really felt like this was his first tour as he gave so much of himself. This was the one tour that had an impact on us and we will never forget it.

Dachau was an important reminder of the more recent history in Germany, and our tour there was excellent. Our guide had a lot of personal knowledge of the Nazi era, as he had studied it for some time. He was able to add a unique perspective based on many people he had met, and gave us more imformation than the typical tourist listening to an audio guide.
