This was an amazing experience. Taff was incredibly knowledgeable about the site and even brought additional items that prisoners would have used during their time in Dachau. Also, since we had our own vehicle, we were able to go and see the farm where prisoners were forced to grow herbs for medicines and the firing range where approximately 5000 Russian soldiers were shot. Both of these sites are not on the group tours, but Taff knew the areas as well as Dachau.
I would highly recommend Taff for your time in Munich.

Description
March 21st, 1933: a hastily converted factory complex becomes a "protective custody camp" for opponents of the Nazi regime.
As the first permanent concentration camp it became a “School of Terror” where members of Hitler’s SS perfected their methods of physical and mental torture, skills they would implement in similar camps across Germany, and later Europe. As such, it holds a unenviable position in the history of the Holocaust.
The tour uses public transport (local train and then bus) to reach the memorial - the route closely following that taken by prisoners.
