About this experience
Dachau Concentration Camp was the first that the Nazis opened in 1933 in Germany, originally intended to hold political prisoners only. Later it became a camp of forced labor with over 200,000 inmates during its 12 years of operation. The place became an “Academy of Terror”, a role model and a training ground of vast brutality, killing around 40,000 people from 34 nations before it was liberated in 1945 by the American army.

Dachau
That there is no car service, we had to travel with street car, train and bus. This is not how I expected my travel to Dachau would be. The tour guy was great, she was friendly, knowledgeable and showed lots of sympathy for us being cold and in rain.
Response from the operator: "Thank you for your feedback. This was a public tour . We appreciate your kind words about the guide. We're glad she made the experience more enjoyable despite the cold and rainy weather. "

Unfortunate experience/ wrong details in listing
This listing does not mention that you will be taking a train as well as Bus to the destination. Meeting point pin does not match the meeting point of the beginning of the tour, but two blocks away. Very confusing. Meeting time states 10am in the listing…. Guide stated 10:30. Unfortunately tour was not as expected and did not match the itinerary details.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We would like to note that the tour description clearly states that this is a public tour and that transportation is by public transit. We also sent the tour time and meeting location to you in advance by email. We appreciate your understanding and hope you still enjoyed the experience overall.

Yoga was exceptional. He...
Yoga was exceptional. He guided us thru the history of the Nazi regime and described what cruelty was inflicted on the prisoners. It was a very sobering experience and I walked away with so much more understanding and empathy.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are glad to hear that Yoga’s guidance helped provide meaningful historical context and foster deeper understanding. Our goal is to honor the experiences of those who suffered by presenting this history with accuracy, respect, and care. We appreciate your thoughtful reflection and are grateful that the tour left such a lasting impact.

Stephanie was passionate...
Stephanie was passionate about this horrific part of history. She had the entire group captivated with the presentation about the history of Dachau. I would highly recommend her and this tour. My life is changed from what I experienced there.
Response from the operator: "We’re deeply moved to hear how meaningful the Dachau tour was for you and that Stephanie’s passion and knowledge helped convey the importance of this part of history. "

Overpriced and Under delivered!
The tour guide, while knowledgable, was difficult to understand. The description led me to believe private transportation was included, especially based on the price. The tour was double the cost of other tours. Lastly, the guide left two hours early along with other members of the group (they didn’t like the tour) so I didn’t get what I paid for. We finished up the site in our own. I’m extremely dissatisfied and request a partial refund!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dachau Memorial Public Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Munich.
How much does Dachau Memorial Public Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $83 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 Memorial Public Tour 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 Memorial Public Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Munich, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dachau Memorial Public Tour?
+
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 Memorial Public Tour 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 Memorial Public Tour?
+
Around 5 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 Memorial Public Tour 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?
+
On Outty we rank every Munich experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site Tour with Train from Munich, Munich Classic Bike Tour @ 11.30am with Surfers & beergarden stop, Dachau Memorial Half-Day Tour from Munich (Early-Start). 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.
