Guided half-day Dachau Memorial tour from Munich with licensed guide, train included, museum time, small group in English.

“We had an excellent tour. Meeting place was clear. Alun explained the travel process. He spent about 2 hours walking us through Dachau- explaining history and the significance of the different stops. He then gave us an hour on our own to tour the museum. Honestly, my husband and I thought it was an awful lot of time for our two boys - 24 and 26 to do the museum which didn’t look that big and my kids tend to zoom through museums. But this one? They were very interested and we probably could have spent 2-3 hours. We agreed one hour was perfect and kept us moving but you…”

“My sister, teenage niece, and I took this tour in the Summer of 2025.

Glen learned what we were interested in, as our entire Europe trip had been WWII-focused, and really gave us details and insight around Potsdam, and the events and people that led up to both World Wars. Potsdam had a significant part to play, which I definitely did not know. There is also some beautiful and unique architecture around Potsdam, which I loved taking pictures of.
