Family trip to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site
Our tour guide met us in the lobby at the hotel and we promptly headed to the train station. It is about a 20 minute train ride to the town of Dachau where we then took the shuttle to the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site. He was extremely knowledgeable and easy to spend time with as we asked questions and learned the history of the event. I would highly recommend this tour for families or anyone wanting to spend approximately 3-4 hours learning without the stress of planning the details.
