    1. Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site

      On this tour we escort you to the site by public transport. Our fully trained guide will take you round all areas of the memorial site, giving you an insight into the suffering of the prisoners and relating the story of the concentration camp system to historical developments during the time of the National Socialist regime. We guide you round the cells, barracks and gas chamber and explain the meaning behind the pictures and exhibits in the museum with thought-provoking accounts of prisoners’ own experiences, from the setting up of the camp until their liberation by US-forces in 1945. There is a 22 minute documentary film in English, although we stress that this is deemed unsuitable for children underv 13 years old

    An absolute must do if you are into history

    Our tour guide Alex was phenomenal. He not only had a wealth of knowledge but also welcomed questions and an interactive tour making everyone feel comfortable. There is quite a bit of standing and walking but well worth the experience. Be ready to have a somber, emotional experience and learn about the history of Dachau, its origin and its final collapse at the end of WWII.

    Excellent tour

    Excellent guide. Fairly large group that he took on the U and then a short public bus to Dachau, it all went very smoothly. Knowledgeable and personable guide

    Never forget history

    We had Carlotta run this tour. She was a thoughtful guide - knew how to read the group and had just enough wit to keep the tour as light as possible visiting such a place. She really was one of the best guides we’ve had! Bravo Carlotta!

    So Much Still to Learn

    A worthwhile experience if you are visiting Munich. Meeting downtown and having our guide lead us through the train & bus process to get there made it super easy and affordable. Our guide, Charlotte, was wonderful—extremely knowledgeable and presented info clearly and thoughtfully.

    Deep Subject with a good tour

    Was easy to find our very knowledgeable guide. Have taken the tour before without a guide and it was very worth in to do to tour with a guide. You want to make sure the guide will go in with you, as some companies leave out that detail. This company did not.

    Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Tour with Train from Munich: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Munich.

    How much does Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Tour with Train from Munich cost?

    +

    Prices start at $54 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Munich usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Tour with Train from Munich take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Munich is not rushed.

    Is Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Tour with Train from Munich worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 1,143 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Munich, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Tour with Train from Munich?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Tour with Train from Munich suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Tour with Train from Munich?

    +

    Around 400 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Munich can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Munich and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Tour with Train from Munich start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Munich within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Munich?

    +

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Munich?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Munich?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
