Don't go anywhere else!
This is the second time I have lead a tour group and use Curt for the Munich component of the trip. I am not a professional guide but seen as the go to guy amongst my friend group. We booked Curt for Dachau and for Third Reich. We were 100% satisfied with Curt. Knowledgeable, passionate, funny and caring. I have no hesitation at all in recommending Curt. He even assisted with dinner ideas and transportation assistance. We had a group of 8 guys doing a battlefield tour and this was one of several highlights. Great experience and well valued.

Riveting Dachau concentration camp tour
Our guide (the guy with the hat) did an outstanding job. Tremendous knowledge and recollection of many different events. We enjoyed his tour immensely and would recommend it to everyone.

Excellent Dachau private tour!
We, a family of 4, booked a private tour of Dachau. Curt was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history behind the rise of Nazi Germany. He adapted the tour to make it applicable to younger kids and adults alike. He also helped to prioritize the many exhibits throughout the site to highlight some of the most interesting aspects. We highly recommend booking with Curt and would not hesitate to take another tour with him! Thanks again!

Not "fun" but great day
This was our second tour with Curt. He was again punctual to the meeting point. He did an excellent job of explaining Dachau in a way that was clear, but not TOO heavy for my 13-year-old. It was a very solemn day. Curt had many resources, including survivor stories, that made the information engaging. I did wish that we had brought snacks, as it is a large property and you don't want to skip anything.

Highly recommend
We had an excellent experience with Big Hat Tours and our guide, Curt. His knowledge of Dachau’s history was truly exceptional, and he communicated everything with clarity, respect, and deep understanding. He handled the sensitivity of this difficult historical site with great care and professionalism. Highly recommend.

In Depth Dachau Concentration Camp Tour (Private Tour): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Munich.
How much does In Depth Dachau Concentration Camp Tour (Private Tour) cost?
+
Prices start at $240 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 In Depth Dachau Concentration Camp Tour (Private 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 In Depth Dachau Concentration Camp Tour (Private Tour) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 47 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 In Depth Dachau Concentration Camp Tour (Private 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 In Depth Dachau Concentration Camp Tour (Private 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 In Depth Dachau Concentration Camp Tour (Private Tour)?
+
Around 16 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 In Depth Dachau Concentration Camp Tour (Private 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 Munich Ghosts and Spirits Evening Walking Tour, Munich Classic Bike Tour @ 11.30am with Surfers & beergarden stop, Guided Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site Tour with Train from 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.
What is included in In Depth Dachau Concentration Camp Tour (Private Tour)?
+

+
