Alan was unreal! From start to finish he was welcoming, extremely knowledgeable and communicated information very well. If you are in Munich, this is a must do tour!
Alun was exceptional. He possesses a wealth of knowledge about both the site and its history while maintaining an excellent level of reverence. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you are lucky enough to have Alun as your guide.
Alun was an AMAZING GUIDE (we take a LOT of tours around the world and he was in our top 2 of guides - ever!)! The timing of the tour was impeccable – where he would stop us and tell us the context and then set us up for a successful self-viewing – just incredible. We learned so much and gained additional perspectives and more knowledge to enhance what we did know. He limits his tours to a small group so the experience is personal and special. His English skills are delightful – we never had to strain to understand him. Loved the open dialogue throughout the trip - really felt like we could engage with him on the heavy subject matter and no question was irrelevant or unexpected to him. Truly a delightful tour guide, especially for such an important tour of critical understanding of humanity and history.
He is an excellent tour guide. Had a great time with him.
This was the best guided tour our family has ever had. Mr. Evans, our guide, was knowledgeable and skilled at sharing information about the history of Dachau in a manner that was thought-provoking, yet sensitive and compassionate. He was also perfectly efficient at guiding us through the subway and bus system as well as providing advice on the best way to get the most of our visit to the museum. The tour was long enough to avoid feeling rushed without being too long. Our entire family of four enjoyed this more than we anticipated. Our college-age sons were so impressed that they both went out of their way to shake Mr. Evans' hand and thank him at the end of the tour. Highly recommended!

Our tour guide, Alun, was extremely knowledgeable and respectful of such a difficult topic. Lots of walking and worth every step. We learned a tremendous amount.
Very knowledgeable, organized, attentive
Excellent tour and guide. Very intense but I learned so much more about how horrific this was. This is an emotional but thoughtful tour.
Alun was a great guide - he herded us efficiently through the Munich transportation system, was very knowledgable about Dachau and willing to answer all sorts of questions, was very easy to talk to and passionate about the subject matter, and overall an excellent choice as a guide for a very serious and somber tour.
