This was a great trip and was very important for us to do. Connie was so informative and organized. She is so passionate about the subject and really explains things so well. She gives you time to explore in your own and lets you know what to expect in case you don’t want to participate in certain exhibits. Definitely recommend

Dachau Concentration Camp Tour
June_M, Nov 2025
Our tour guide from Radius Tours was very knowledgeable and was able to interpret the camp for us in a way that made what we were experiencing comprehensible, as far as anything this horrific can ever be comprehensible.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
June, thank you very much for sharing your feedback, it means a lot to us. We wish you all the best for your upcoming travels!
Jake takes the cake as a tour guide!
Lupe_c, Nov 2025
It was an emotional experience but my tour guide Jake was sensitive and attentive to his group. Jake made sure he talked with everyone in the group and was well informed about the topic.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you very much Lupe for sharing your 5-star review with us, it very much appreciated!

Alexandre_M, Oct 2025
Great experience, the guided tour provides more historical background to the camp which includes the rise and fall of the camps like these across Europe. Connie was our English speaking guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Tour is a bit quick so if you like to take a lot or picture or read signs you might be left hanging but Connie provided enough explanations that I was not feeling like reading any of the signs.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Alexander, Thank you for writing this great review and recommending Connie as a guide. We are glad you recommend our company. Best, 'Radius Tours
See What Really Happened
Amy_H, Oct 2025
A “must see” for everyone to help us understand what really went on in the camps. The memorial site is very informative and respectful; lots of information and several structures still intact. Radius Tours and Jake, our guide, were excellent!

Pamela_R, Oct 2025
Emmet, our guide was very knowledgable and kept a sobering and heavy subject on the lighter side. He went beyond his duty as a guide and made sure we found our bus back to our hotel.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks for the 5 star review of your tour to the Memorial with Emmet and Radius Tours.
Dachau Must Tour

Hi, thank you for reviewing! Radius Tours
Difficult subject matter handled with sensitivity
Lisa_G, Oct 2025
Difficult subject matter handled with sensitivity by our guide Connie. Her vast knowledge of Dachau and specialisation in this site meant she could provide background and content as well as answer a range of questions from the group. The pace of the tour was well balanced so that there were not long periods of time standing still, she incorporated information sharing with walking and free movement which suited us well.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Lisa, thank you for leaving a good feedback! Radius Tours.
Our concentration camp...
Georgia_W, Oct 2025
Our concentration camp tour was an incredibly powerful and moving experience. Our guide, Jeff, was outstanding—comical when appropriate and serious when needed. His passion and deep knowledge brought meaningful context to such a heavy part of history. It was a larger group and the weather was cold and windy, but Jeff kept everyone engaged and respectful throughout. A difficult but very worthwhile experience that we’ll never forget.
Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dachau w/ Jeff
Scott_V, Oct 2025
A moving historical experience with narration and guidance provide by Jeff from Radius. Very thorough and thoughtful. Would highly recommend.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Scott, thank you for reviewing! Radius Tours
Highly recommended tour - informative and respectful
Joy_P, Oct 2025
this tour was very informative and respectful. Our guide Mat is possibly the best historical tour guide I have ever met - he linked all the historical events leading up to and during WW2 that I had previously only thought about as isolated events - when all these events were linked I gained a comprehensive understanding of how such a place as Dachaus and other camps could ever exist. Thank you Mat for sharing your knowledge and insights.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Joy, thank you for taking time to write a review! Radius Tours
Jeff is a great guide!
Kylie_G, Oct 2025
Very educational and eye opening tour. Our guide Jeff was awesome! He did an exceptional job at keeping track of everyone in our group on the bus/train, and doing a headcount of everyone, every step of the way! Throughout the tour Jeff did a great job of articulating the horrors that occurred at the camp but also kept the tour lighthearted with some banter between all the history of the camp. Overall, great historical tour!

Dachau - Must See
Jeff_P, Oct 2025
This is something everyone must do, know, and reflect upon. Our tour guide, Richard, of Radius Tours, did an exceptional job of bringing to life the somber history of Dachau. We were thoroughly impressed by the detailed explanations and stories he shared, as well as his sensitive and appropriately solemn demeanor.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
HI, thanks a lot for leaving a feedback! Radius Tours

Captivating Dachau with Nic
Sugato_B, Oct 2025
Nic was a wonderful guide. His knowledge and his fluency was excellent. Since he had researched the walk well every point I wanted to ask was covered . His story telling style with little bits and pieces of trivia and linking with the present was very engaging. The walk was easy paced. For absorbing the museum a full hour is needed and not the 40 min allotted. We could have taken a bus 20 min later.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for another great review and we are so glad you enjoyed a tour with Nic, even on a tough topic. Best, Radius Tours
Nick - Great Guide
