      I highly recommend Alun Evans for your tour. You'll get more than just an escort, he really adds value and insight as a master guide, getting us the maximum info in the time allotted. He helped us on transport options, and made helpful suggestions for post tour activities. Thank you Alun!

      Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site And Third Reich Day Tour From Munich
      Great trip that was explained well by our guide. We learned a lot about the content and would suggest it to anyone we know that is travelling to the area.

      Don’t miss this tour!
      Alun did an amazing job creating an organized, efficient and interesting tour of Dachau. We left the Munich station and headed towards the concentration camp site. He kept us informed the entire way. It was so easy. We did not have to worry about train tickets or bus tickets. Once we got to the camp, he explained how Germany ended up electing Adolf Hitler. He gave us lots of interesting facts about Dachau. We walked around the entire camp for about two hours. I had been there before so it was so much better having Alun with us. I learned a lot more! The last hour of the tour you spend going through the museum and the barracks on your own. I would highly recommend his tour! I believe he has several other tours to choose from and I wouldn’t hesitate to go on any tour with him at any point during your vacation! He is outstanding!

      Respectful and Thoughtful Guide to Dachau.
      Alun was a very professional and knowledgeable guide for such a delicate and solemn subject. We could tell he puts thought in presenting the information in a respectful way. He helped the group understand the history that led up to Dachau and in the second part of our tour in Munich, took us to notable locations that had an impact in the history surrounding the rise of the Third Reich. We appreciated having a guide who knew the ins and outs of transportation to and from Munich to Dachau and he kept the group informed of how we were getting there and what to do when we arrived. Having Alun put the Dachau Memorial in perspective versus just reading the placards was more impactful than doing it on our own. We also appreciated that Alun keeps the groups small so there's time for one on one interaction and questions. Between the morning trip to Dachau and the walking tour in the afternoon, there was time for our family to have a lunch break, which we greatly appreciated. We took our teenagers age 16 & 13, and they also felt the tour was well done. Seeing this part of world history was important to share with them.

      Dachau & Third Reich Tour
      Alun is not just knowledgeable of World War II and the atrocities at Dachau concentration camp. He is very respectful and considerate in sharing what life was like for the people imprisoned and murdered there. We had time to go through the Dachau museum on our own. We returned to Munich center for the Third Reich tour in the afternoon. Alun took us to all the buildings that played a key part in the rising of the Nazi party. He had a photo book with images of events and people. Alun met us on time at Marienplatz in the morning, he had pre purchased tickets for the train/bus ride for our small group of approx. 14 people. We returned to Marienplatz for our lunch break before continuing with the afternoon tour. Alun is very professional, hence 5 stars. Highly recommend doing both tours.

      Excellent professional guide
      Alun is a very professional, knowledgeable and thoughtful guide, one of the very best. We used public transportation and he made it easy and clear. His sensitive and informative explanation of a horrific place and event gave the subject mater the gravity and respect deserved. Deeply meaningful experience, must do with this excellent guide.

      Best Dachau and Third Reich Tour!
      If you are going to pick a tour of Dachau and Munich, make sure it is with Alun. This experience was excellent. One that my wife talks about to everyone we see. We did both tours with Alun; Dachau and Third Reich Day Tour. Alun was a true host. He meet the group early and had everything planned for us. There wasn’t a hiccup the whole time. He guided the group from Munich to Dachau and back with ease (via tube and bus). While at Dachau, Alun guided us from start to finish and even gave us sometime to walk the Dachau museum and book shop. His knowledge was second to none, and it was as if we were living the experience with him. Once back in Munich, Alun gave us a lunch break and some food suggestions we will never forget. After lunch, Alun was were he said to meet him and ready to go again. We walked the streets of Munich, learning how the Third Reich came to power. Seeing all the important sites that played a key roll in history. We were even lucky enough to haver Alun to ourselves as no one booked the second part of the tour. It was as though a friend was giving you a tour of his city. Again, he was extremely knowledgeable and even had a binder with images of key events and people. Making sure you understood the full store. You could not pick a better tour. With that, we want to thank Alun for an incredible day and will forever remember our time in Munich because of him.

      Thoroughly interesting and thought provoking!
      We have been on a number of tours in the world. Alun was a very pleasant guide and one of the best communicators we have seen. He has a great way about himself and how he interacted with us on his tour. Apparently, he has offered this tour for 16 years and his depth of knowledge and insight certainly demonstrated that. Not only does he know what a customer would reasonably expect, but he has done extensive reading on Dachau and the surrounding time period that enriched the guided tour experience. You will really get your money's worth with Alun as your guide. I highly recommend him--one of the best guides we have had.

    This was a fantastic tour. Alun is very efficient at getting everyone on the S-Bahn and transferred to the bus in order to get the group to the site quickly and maximize tour time. Upon arrival at the site, I really enjoyed Alun’s tour - he has extensive knowledge of the site and was able to share a lot of really useful information. I also appreciated the time that was allowed for exploring the museum on our own rather than being guided through the museum like other groups. Highly recommend!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
