Product Info

Begin your tour in central Munich at A Little Lost Cafe, located near the central station, where you meet your guide and travel together by public transport to Dachau. With an early start at 8:30 AM, the tour is designed to reach the memorial site ahead of larger crowds, allowing for a calmer and more focused experience. Transportation is included, so the group can concentrate fully on the visit without logistical concerns.

At the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site, your certified guide leads a carefully paced walking tour through the former camp grounds. As the first concentration camp established by the Nazi regime in 1933, Dachau served as a model for the camp system that followed. During the visit, you explore key areas such as the former prisoner barracks, the roll-call square, memorial installations, religious chapels, and the crematorium.

Throughout the visit, the focus remains on factual historical explanation, personal stories, and broader context, while maintaining the dignity of the site as a place of remembrance. All guides on this tour are officially certified by the memorial site through an intensive, multi-month training program that includes in-depth historical study, engagement with survivor testimony, and visits to satellite sites. This ensures the experience is delivered with accuracy, sensitivity, and respect.

Following the memorial visit, the tour continues with a guided walk through the town of Dachau itself. Often overlooked, Dachau is a historic Bavarian town with medieval roots, a long artistic tradition, and a vibrant present-day community. During the walk, your guide provides insight into the town’s history before 1933, its relationship to the camp during the Nazi period, and how it has evolved in the decades since. The aim is not to diminish the gravity of the memorial, but to place it within a wider human and historical landscape.

The experience concludes with a lunch break in Dachau town at a local restaurant near the site of a former city gate, with reserved seating for the group. Lunch is ordered à la carte and paid individually by guests. This time provides a calm moment to decompress, reflect, and transition from the memorial visit before returning to Munich by public transport.
