Full description

Learn the history of Dachau Concentration Camp on a guided tour from Munich. Learn about its significance as the first permanent concentration camp of the Nazi regime, which lasted for the full 12 years of its rule.

Meet your guide in Munich and travel by public transportation to the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site. During the tour, your guide will provide detailed commentary on all aspects of camp life and death for the prisoners that passed through the gates from 1933 to 1945.

Find out why the camp was opened and the first prisoners to arrive. Learn about the 3 phases of the Camp, plus its evolution and development. Hear about the daily operations of the camp from registration to new prisoners to their trials in torture and punishment.

See important sites such as the S.S. Training Facility - also known as the School of Terror, Jourhaus, the entrance building, and gateway into the camp, with its infamous Arbeit Macht Frei sign, Appellplatz, the Bunker, Barrack X, and more.

The guide was very informative and organized. We thought we knew quite a bit about the Holocaust and it's history, but were proven wrong and learned so much. I think it's important for everyone to learn the history and see the facilities for themselves to remember the victims and have history not repeat itself.

Marcin was an incredible tour leader who was able to educate our group about the atrocities that occurred at Dachau. The tour itself was well organised and executed. Marcin gave us an incredible background into the history before even stepping foot into the camp which helped everyone's baseline of understanding and created an atmosphere of education and respect from the very start. The tour was haunting however Marcin did an incredible job of encapsulating as much of the history as possible in 4 short hours. Marcin was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to answer any and all questions that were asked. He was respectful, insightful and passionate about sharing his knowledge and educating us on the events that occurred. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is considering visiting the camp to ensure that you are able to attain as much knowledge and compassion as we did through Marcin.

Hein was an awesome guide who gave our group a wealth of knowledge. I absolutely recommend doing a guided tour versus self tour- I truly believe they are two different experiences. The whole time was well spent & rich with information. Thanks Hein for an impactful experience.
