Enlightening Tour about a Dark Past - This was a truly sobering but also fascinating and educational experience. Sam met us at the train station and helped us board to get to Dachau (easiest by train). He gave us a brief rundown on the area en route, and once we got there gave us a lot more information about the history of the camp. He did an amazing job of knowing when to provide guidance and information, and when to let us just absorb the horror and see all that happened there. He was extremely knowledgeable and clearly cared a lot about the material. Absolute must if you're in Munich and we recommend this tour completely.

An Excellent Immersion in History and Culture - Mat provided an excellent understanding of Dachau, its major significance and the part it played in the wider context of WWII history. His knowledge of events leading up to the opening of the camp, its use in the various stages of the war and who the major personalities involved gave his tour depth and perspective. As a student of history I found the experience to be interesting and engaging. Mat’s knowledge of history, culture and local customs gave the tour a very personal touch. Highly recommend Mat for those interested in gaining a wider understanding of a complex issue.

Invaluable experience we will never forget! - This really IS a private tour! Mat met us at our hotel, and steered us deftly via public transit to Dachau in pouring rain. His depth of understanding of the camp, the town, and world circumstances that all led to the horrific tragedy of WWII and the network of concentration camps is vast. We’re old enough that we had friends growing up who were holocaust survivors, and have visited holocaust memorials in several countries in Europe, so we had some working context ourselves. The beauty of this sort of truly personal experience is that your guide isn’t just talking all the time, really it’s a conversation that goes places you’d never anticipate. We were fortunate to be there one day after the 80th anniversary of the liberation. Somehow the rain and cold only served to reinforce our understanding of the brutal conditions experienced by the prisoners. It was heartening to see huge crowds of school groups there (teens, which made sense to us). It’s going to take a while to truly process all we’ve learned in a few short hours. We can’t recommend this tour and Mat highly enough!

Memorable. - This is a good tour. But understand what you are about to see. It was a “work” concentration camp. Many died here but not by gas chamber
