A Profound Experience at Dachau
TraciT350, October 2026
Our tour to the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site with Alun was an incredibly moving and unforgettable experience. I honestly didn’t expect the visceral feeling that came over me the moment we walked through the gates and onto the grounds. We’ve visited other significant historical sites and memorials throughout our travels, but nothing could have prepared me for the weight of being at Dachau. As an American, I feel this is such a necessary experience right now. I truly wish every human being could visit a place like Dachau and feel what we felt that day, not only to understand the history, but to reflect on the unimaginable consequences of hatred, dehumanization, and indifference. Alun made the entire experience informative, thoughtful, and incredibly meaningful. He provided historical context while also allowing us the space to process what we were seeing. Having him guide us through the entire journey, from the train to the bus and then through the memorial site, also made the day completely seamless and stress-free. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Munich. It was difficult, emotional, thought-provoking, and absolutely worth doing. Thank you, Alun, for helping us navigate such an important and deeply moving place.

Alun was an excellent guide.
mariehL4687KK, October 2026
Alun Evans was an excellent guide. For one thing he was easy to understand. I never had to figure out what he was saying unlike other tour guides on our 14 day trip. He handled the subject matter with care and concern for those he was guiding on the tour. He was easy to follow and kept the group together when warranted. I would highly recommend Alun Evans for any tour!
Response from the operator · Alun E Thanks Marie, for taking the time out in your day to submit a review. Delighted that you got value from it. All the best.
