We had a fantastic experience on our tour today. Our guide Jake was awesome. He kept us engaged with his witty banter and shared so much knowledge with us - excellent guide. Transportation was easy on the train & bus and Jake kept track of us all very well. If you have the opportunity to take this tour I highly recommend it. It is bone-chilling and heartbreaking at times, but it’s a harsh piece of history.

It was a great tour! Definitely worth the experience all thanks to Jake Goldner. But for a long tour such as Dachau, you need an exceptional guide before it gets boring. I would recommend you to ask the organiser to put you across in the Tour with Jake , as he made the tour fun and interesting and more informative than you would expect.
