Our guide for this tour was amazing! We learned so much more than we expected, she was so knowledgeable about the history of the site along with other questions that got asked of her. While this tour is not easy because its a very heavy subject matter, it was completely worth the time and money to take this tour and learn about the history of Dachau.
