A sobering tour of one of the darkest chapters of WW2 history
Fatima_A
, Aug 2022
A sobering tour for anyone interested in the Holocaust. Our guide (Keith) was excellent in guiding us through the horrors of this place & explaining important history points. While the tour subject matter is sad and shows the depths of man cruelty to man, nevertheless it is a very important subject to explore. I definately recommend it to anyone interested in Nazi/WW2 history.

This tour had great potential with a knowledgeable guide, but in an environment like this with many groups in enclosed spaces, headsets are critical. The noise competition mad it impossible at times to hear our guide’s comments.

Lost in Germany
Dallas_P

We were not given instructions once on the train. We were told to go upstairs and we waited for our guide to come get us. After an hour and 15 minutes we thought something was wrong. We went downstairs and could not find our guide, an older man. We were left on our own, which we figured out. Crossed the tracks to get to the other side took train back and found the camp by our self’s….

We are sorry to read there was a major misscomunication that let to you being left behind. The group size heading out to Dachau can be up to 30 guests and our guides have therefore learned to give clear instructions in order that everyone makes it to the memorial site together whilst navigting the public transport system. All other guests on this day managed to make it to the site with no problems so perhaps the relevant information was comunicated but just not heard. It could also be that the instructions were not clear and that everyone else just noticed what others were doing and followed. Whatever the case we are glad you guys figuered out somezthing was up after an hour and found the camp by yourselves.

We took this tour on a blistering hot summer day. Our tour guide , Grit, was kind enough to mention to all of us to get water before we left. Super helpful . Because of the oppressive heat we all agreed it was a chore to travel to Dachau. It would have been better to simply take a coach bus to and from. Hopping on and off a bus and then a train was a large effort. However Grit our tour guide was amazing. Full of useful information and and knowledge . And we all agreed that her perspective on that time in history was outstanding . Thanks you

Terrible tour guide, not engaging and hard to understand
BruceBehrouz_H
, Aug 2022
The grounds are nice and Dachau is worth going to. Our tour guide was an older gentleman (did not even have a name tag) and overall terrible. He really did not want to be there. He was dry, not engaging, and spoke too softly to hear. He needs to carry a flag so that people can see him and a microphone so that people can hear him. He jumped from one thing to another while giving a tour. Did not offfer much of a tour. Quite disappointing. Do not recommend.

The whole day was exceptional; starting with our guide Keith; seeing the remnants of the place; how it is being preserved; how the prisoners lived; what they were forced to do and how they were tortured / punished for no reason The information was provided in a quite, caring way without hiding the horror of what happened.

I have been travelling for 3 months and this is by far the best thing I have done. It’s all thanks to our wonderful guide Keith who is just an expert on the former camp and German history. It was utterly captivating. If you’re visiting Munich, this particular tour with Radius Tours is a must.

Scott gave us an amazing tour! Very knowledgeable of the history of the Dachau and how Germany got to where Hitler and the Nazis were able to rise to power! An absolutely must for anyone who is in Munich or even in Germany. This history is important for all of us to remember! Very impactful. I’ve been to Auschwitz too, and this is different. Both are important to understand. This is where the concentration camps all started for Germany.
