    What you'll see and do

    1. Munich Central Station

      We meet in the main station of Munich (Hauptbahnhof, HBF) at the foot of platform 24. The guide will have your name on a sheet of of paper. We meet in good time to grab a coffee or other refreshments. Depending on which train we take, journey time to Dachau is between 15 and 25 minutes. At Dachau we change for a connecting bus to the site. At our discretion we might opt for a cab or Uber for this last leg.

    2. Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site

      Dachau was the first permanent Concentration Camp (Konzentrationslager or KZ) established by the Nazis in 1933. Liberated by US forces at the end of April 1945, it was the longest running camp established by Hitlers regime. With your experienced and accredited guide you will visit the site and gain an understanding of why it was established and how its purpose and conditions changed in the 12 years it was in operation. A visit to Dachau will give a visitor an insight into the origins of the Holocaust, as well as considering other victims who fell foul of the Nazi regime. Please note that due to the nature of the themes covered, we are unable to accept children under the age of 14, even with a parent or guardian. Parents may take their children on their own, but as far as a guided tour goes, we are unable to facilitate this. (This is laid down by Dachau, not us - sorry)

    An unforgettable experience!

    Taff's knowledge of history and respect for the sacred grounds of Dachau made our experience something we will never forget. His attention to detail and making sure we were always well taken care of made us feel welcomed from the start. For anyone considering spending time in Munich, this tour is a must! So glad we had the honor of spending the day with Taff!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review. It truly means a great deal to me. Dachau is a place that deserves to be approached with care, respect, and honesty, so I'm especially grateful that this came across during your visit. My goal is always to help people understand not only what happened there, but why it still matters today. It was lovely to spend the day with you even though we were dealing some really tragic history. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Munich. If you are here again, please don't be shy. Best, Taff

    Great In-depth Historical Tour

    Excellent tour and enlightening experience. Keith was a great guide with lots of in-depth history of both Dachau and the whole Nazi concentration camp plan. Would definitely do this again with Keith perhaps at another site.

    Private Tour of the Dachau Memorial Site: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Tour of the Dachau Memorial Site cost?

    +

    Prices start at $473 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 Private Tour of the Dachau Memorial Site take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 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 Private Tour of the Dachau Memorial Site worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Private Tour of the Dachau Memorial Site?

    +

    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 Private Tour of the Dachau Memorial Site suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour of the Dachau Memorial Site?

    +

    Around 1 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour of the Dachau Memorial Site 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.
