Aileen was awesome! So knowledgeable and took the time to answer any questions. Also, she handled all of the travel details which took away all of the guesswork about which train or bus to take. Highly recommend!

Our private tour of Dachau was an exceptional experience. Our guide, Sam, was very knowledgeable about the history and passionate about not letting us forget what happened. From start to finish, this was a well planned and smoothly run day. I highly recommend this private tour!

This tour is a must-do. Having a private tour guide who knows the history, the nuances and the importance of telling the real stories made this incredibly memorable. It was surreal to be at Dachau, and to hear the stories from a German that understood the significance of the horror made it very real. We highly recommend having a private tour. They picked us up at our hotel, and drove us around Munich first to share some of the relevant historical landmarks before we even went to Dachau. We didn't expect that. In all, it was a truly amazing experience.
