Great Guide and Tour of Dachau - Tour guide was very knowledgeable. He was also good at finding the less busy areas to stand away from other groups. He always tried to find shade on a hot day. I would recommend to bring some bug spray as the mosquitoes were thick in several spots where we stopped to listen. You’ll love this tour. He also gives you the freedom to explore the museum for an hour. It’s not enough time to read everything, but you’re really there for experiencing the area rather than a museum in my opinion.

Excellent tour with Alun - Extremely well run tour with Alun who imparted so much knowledge and information in a few short hours but in a way that didn’t feel rushed or too much for the weight of the topic. Alun was also amazing with my 15 year old son. Thank you Alun for sharing your knowledge with us.

Dachau Memorial Tour: Bucket List item delivered in a big way - Highly recommend the Dachau tour with Alun. He was insightful, respectful and just an a very kind person. His depth of knowledge and ability to give important context around this time in not to distant history helped us all better understand this very dark period. Alun also took great care with our small group in traveling to and from the memorial. Ensuring we were on the right train and buses at all times. Stop looking at other tours and book this one.

The Perfect Tour Guide - Alun’s tour of Dachau was incredibly insightful. We got so much more out of our visit to Dachau thanks to him. He was able to describe the historical events and memorial details in such a tactful manner and provide us with an understanding of each building/marker/memorial site. He helped us understand the contextual significance of Dachau within the time period and gave us the information and guidance we needed when touring the museum on our own. I highly recommend booking a tour with Alun.

See Dachau with Alun - Our family of five (children aged 13-19) all enjoyed Alun’s guidance through Dachau. He was friendly, accessible, efficient, and informed. We appreciated the combination of prep before seeing something then autonomy for the actual viewing before reconvening. Highly recommend for a nuanced experience.

Maximize Dachau experience with a tremendous guide - Alun was an exceptional guide. He gave us important historical context for the rise of the Nazi government that was important to understanding the history of Dachau, which he also explained in such an easy to absorb manner.

Moving and Informative - The trip was a moving and informative experience. When planning our trip to Munich, our family made the correct decision to include Dachau Concentration Camp. Alun is a very informed guide who balanced education and time for personal reflection. My children ( 25 and 27 y/o) and I appreciated Alun’s perspective on the mindset that led to the development, continuation and progression of the atrocities.
