Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial: Private Ride from Munich
A private five-hour ride from Munich to the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site, to be visited in your own time, with collection and return at your address.
5 hours in total, from collection in Munich to your returnPrivate vehicle
How this ride works
A visit made in your own time.
Dachau was the first of the concentration camps, opened in March 1933, a few weeks after Hitler came to power, on the edge of a small town north-west of Munich. It became the model for all that followed. More than 200,000 people from all over Europe were imprisoned here and in its subcamps, and more than 41,000 of them died, before American troops liberated the camp on 29 April 1945. It is now a memorial.
This is a visit that most people prefer to make quietly and without a group timetable. With a private car you decide how long to stay, and the driver waits. Five hours door to door leave about three and a half at the Memorial.
Standard ride rules
- The five-hour service is counted door to door, from collection in Munich to your return, and includes the drive of about 40 minutes each way.
- Choose all, some or none of the suggested stops, and divide the time in Dachau as you wish. The driver waits, moves the car between the stops where that helps, and keeps the return on time.
- The service begins and ends at a hotel or another address within Munich. Airport and railway-station connections are not part of this ride and are arranged as a separate transfer.
- The driver provides collection, private transport, waiting and the nearest practical drop-off and pick-up point for each stop. They are local and can offer practical suggestions, but they are not a licensed tour guide and do not provide guided services inside sights.

Useful tips
A few details that make the ride easier.
- The Memorial is open daily and admission is free. Audio guides are hired at the visitor centre, and the Memorial’s own guided tours in English leave at set times; if you would like to join one, tell us the time when you book.
- The grounds are large and mostly open to the weather, and the visit is made entirely on foot. Dress for the season and wear comfortable shoes.
- Keep passports, tickets, valuables and essential medication with you rather than in a vehicle left at a stop.
- Tell us about a folding wheelchair, child seat or mobility needs before confirmation; the right vehicle and access points can then be arranged in advance.
- Tell us about any reserved entry or tour time when you book, so that the collection time can be set around it.
Before booking
Ride FAQ
Can I customise the ride?
Yes. You may choose all, some or none of the suggested stops, and request another order. The final plan must remain practical within the confirmed five-hour service, the driving time and the conditions on the day.
How is the time counted?
Door to door. The five hours run from collection in Munich to your return and include the drive of about 40 minutes each way; the rest is yours in Dachau.
What happens after I book?
Your payment confirmation is sent immediately. We then send the practical service details, including the assigned driver and vehicle, once the ride has been scheduled. Payment does not by itself mean the operational service is already assigned.
What if the service cannot be provided?
This is exceptional, but if we cannot provide the booked service we will offer a suitable alternative or arrange a full refund.
What is the cancellation policy?
You may cancel at least 24 hours before the confirmed pickup time for a full refund to the original payment method within five business days. If we confirm a driver no-show, we will also issue a full refund within five business days.
Will there be an official tour guide?
No. The driver is local and may offer practical suggestions, but is not a licensed guide and does not provide guided visits inside sights.
Are entry tickets included?
No. The fare covers the vehicle, the driver, fuel, motorway tolls and parking. Tickets and tours at the sights, where they are needed, are bought or reserved separately. If you reserve a timed entry, tell us when booking, so that the day can be shaped around it.
Do I need to be in good physical shape?
No special fitness is needed. The car brings you as close to each stop as access rules allow; the sights themselves are seen on foot, at your own pace, and the day can be adapted to mobility needs.
Can the ride start or end at the airport?
Not this one. The day begins and ends at a hotel or another address within Munich. For an arrival or a departure, ask us for a separate transfer.
