“Really great tour to see key WWII sites. Our guides Nic and Josh were very informative and handled a sensitive topic with respect while remaining engaging. They also did an amazing job looking after the group and accommodating various needs. Thank you both! Side note: Not sure why we had to take a train and bus to/from Dachau? Given the group size, I personally feel it would have been easier to pick us up in a private bus transfer and save the hassle. PS: If you’re considering this tour, be mindful that it is a long day walking with very few opportunities to sit/break. You’ll be outside all day so…”

“Our guide Adam was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He has studied the history of Nuremberg extensively and actually had a personal interaction with one of the inmates. Because of his personal connection with one of the actual prisoners who survived, he provides an unbelievably personal detailed account of the transgressions at Dachau. If you are an English speaker, Adam is originally from Australia and speaks German without an accent.
