The basics

The Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site is most often visited on half- or full-day trips from Munich. Visitors to the memorial site can expect to see the former compound (now an exhibition center), and learn about Europe in World War II, the Holocaust, and the violence that took place at Dachau. Whether seen independently or on a guided private or small-group tour from Munich, the guard houses and administration buildings, reconstructed barracks, cells, and crematorium offer ample opportunity for reflection.

Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site Tour from Munich by Train

I felt Steve, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable regarding the topics he discussed. His English was excellent. I felt the things he discussed made it worth it as compared to just getting the audio tour.

A thought provoking tour.

Munich WWII Combo: Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site and Third Reich Walking Tour

Sam, the tour guide, had an excellent knowledge of history. He gave context and background to a very dark period in German history. Although I have studied this period exstensively, I learned new information. Radius should give its guides a microphone/speaker when leading large groups (26 on the second tour.)

Great

Guided Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site Tour with Train from Munich

Alun was a wealth of experience and an incredibly personable guide. He is an expert on the subject matter but gives the information objectively and gives you plenty of time to explore the camp. I would not hesitate to book this tour or any of his other tours again. Thank you so much Alun

Guided Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site Tour with Train from Munich

Incredible tour guide! I wish we had done both the Third Reich tour and the Dachau tour with Alun on consecutive days in Munich instead of utilizing another company for the third reich. His Dachau tour is impactful, informative and approachable. Really incredible guide.

Exhibitions at the Dachau Memorial Site

Set in what was once a maintenance building, Dachau's main permanent exhibition documents the former Nazi concentration camp's horrific history and sheds light on the lives of the site's prisoners with firsthand accounts, biographies, and artifacts. Elsewhere on the Dachau grounds are exhibits in other original buildings displaying bunkers, model barracks, a crematorium, and a gas chamber, although evidence indicates that the gas chamber was never used to murder prisoners.
