Just beyond Munich lies Dachau — a quiet Bavarian town that became the site of the first permanent concentration camp built by the Nazi Party. On this powerful and reflective half-day private tour, you’ll visit one of Germany’s most important memorial sites with the full attention of a dedicated guide, allowing for a deeper, more personal engagement with history.
Travel by train from central Munich to Dachau, as generations before did — though under very different circumstances. Walking the grounds of the former camp, you’ll gain a clear understanding of how Dachau functioned as a model for the entire concentration camp system, and how it played a central role in the rise and enforcement of Nazi terror.
With thoughtful context and careful explanation, this private tour brings clarity to a difficult chapter of history. Your guide adapts the pace and focus to your interests, creating space for in-depth discussion, questions, and reflection. This is an experience shaped around understanding, remembrance, and historical responsibility.
