Fabulous and respectful tour. Our family of six really found this tour powerful. James was so knowledgeable and a great guide.. if there is anything I’d sugggest is that it’s hard to hear and so a mike and ear phone would be very helpful. All 6of us get that way. It wasn’t because of the guide but because everything echos. Thanks for a great tour!

James gave us context and insights that really helped view Dachau with perspective and deeper understanding. He was numerous, compassionate and really knowledgeable. He also helped navigate crowds and logistics to really enhance the overall experience. There’s no way we could have experienced the memorial in the same way without his expert guidance.

It isn’t a happy place to visit but a meaningful one to reflect on the horrors of the past. Our guide, James, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He provided an awesome experience for us and even gave us suggestions on places to eat and where to get the best beer in Munich. Would recommend James to anyone looking to go on this tour.

Stop hesitating… book this tour! So much better with a professional.

Absolutely the best tour guide I have ever had. Please, please take this tour with James, it is worth paying for his expertise rather than saving a few dollars and trying to see Dachau on your own. Honestly, his tour should cost more than twice as much, it is that good. A lifelong memory for me and my 15 year old son. James’ knowledge and respect for Dachau are endless, and he made our trip to and from the site easy. Meeting in the morning at Marienplatz was easy. Drop off at the end of the day was flexible - end where we started, or hop off the train at a more convenient station. And the start/end times were as promised. At the site, I felt we saw absolutely everything, and there is so much to see (and so much to miss if you are not there with a professional). After about 30 minutes at the camp, I realized that I no longer needed to read the information posted for visitors — I just needed to sit back and trust our guide. His knowledge matched and exceeded what was written at each stop. I am sure my visit with him was more efficient than trying this on my own. James if you read this, thank you for an unforgettable day; truly a day my son and I will remember for life.

James gave us a fascinating tour and was extremely respectful of all that had happened at the camp. He was very mindful of other groups as we moved around. He worked hard to tweak the tour to maximise our experience and find shade on a v busy, hot day. Impressive effort, thank you James.

Comprehensive Tour of Dachau
Brandon_P
, Jul 2022
The experience was of course somber and very moving, but the tour was very well-organized. James presented the information and history of Dachau in an appropriately reserved, but very thorough manner. He was very knowledgeable and we learned a great deal! He also was extremely thoughtful in making an effort to find us shade whenever possible on a really hot day. Everything about the tour was efficient, yet we did not feel rushed at all. The only thing to note is that the listing mentions a max size group of both 9 and 14 people, but our group was a bit bigger (I believe 17 people). However, it didn’t really impact us at all and I would still very strongly recommend this tour to anyone!

Love the tour, James was a great guide! He was very good about sharing as much information about the camp and the people there. Was also good about giving the group breaks and finding shade when possible. Also liked that it was a smaller group so we could hear everything that he was saying and got to ask questions.
