Private half Day Tour of Dachau Concentration Camp

The Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site stands as one of the most significant reminders of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust. Established in 1933 as the first Nazi concentration camp, Dachau became the model for all other concentration camps that followed. Today, it serves as a place of remembrance, education, and reflection. Our tour to this important site is designed to provide historical context, personal stories, and a comprehensive understanding of life inside the camp. During your time with your memorial qualified guide you will explore the various parts of the camp, including its original gas chambers and crematorium reconstructed barracks, and poignant memorials while learning about how Dachau was born and evolved over time from being a symbol of terror into a site of systematic murder through labour.

Your tour guide will meet you on platform 21 at the Hauptbahnhof and together you will take a train and a bus to the memorial site, (approx. 40 mins). Upon arrival there will be a quick 5-minute break for the toilet before we begin the 3 hour tour on site. From there you will enter the site via the old gatehouse then be taken around the site. Here you will learn about the various aspects of day-to-day life in Dachau as you visit each different part of the camp such as the museum, the bunker and rebuilt barracks. You will also see roll call square, the reconstructed ditches and barbed wire that stopped people escaping the site. Finally, we will spend the last half hour on site in the crematorium area where the original gas chamber and ovens remain today, and you will learn about the process of killings and burning of the bodies took place here. You will also view the mass graves of ash as well.
