The tour was great. - The guide was very knowledgeable. He took us to Dachau by train and showed us the memorials and explained exactly what happened. He gave us a chance to ask him questions before taking us back to where we began

Worth the time! - As I have been to another concentration camp/memorial site before, I did have some background knowledge. What I didn’t expect is to learn so much more about this specific location in Dachau. My guide, Alun, was absolutely fabulous to have. With a small group, it was easy to navigate to our destinations and also allowed for people to ask any additional questions. Alun always kept us updated on the overall game plan, but also informed us of our next steps as we went on. I highly recommend taking the time to go on this guided trip!

Very informative tour - I can't say enough positive things about Alun! He was very informative, knowledgeable, punctual and respectful. I chose his tour because he does smaller group tours and his reviews were amazing. I highly recommend doing Alun's tour!! Thanks again!

Alun is INCREDIBLE - I really appreciated the fact that this is a small group tour. It’s the ONLY small group tour I could find and it was worth the search. Alun is beyond incredible, he is extremely knowledgeable, and provides so much information with kindness, respect, and sensitivity to the site. He was organized, accommodating, and punctual. I HIGHLY recommend this tour and Alun, I wish we would have done more tour with him!
