“The tour was good; we started near the Munich train station and took public transportation to Dachau. The guide gave good information, but we rushed through without time to stop and read most of the information available. If I had it to do over, I would have done a self guided tour so that I could linger. That’s the nature of a group tour; if you don’t mind a broad overview, this is the way to go.”
