This tour was exceptional. At the meeting place, Jamie gave us a brief rundown of the timeline, and we were off. As we made our way to Dachau, he kept track of us all, and when he could he shared information. The morning, we went it was Cold, very cold, and grey; really the perfect atmosphere to tour such a place. Our tour met at 8:30am, so we were some of the earliest people to the camp. It was not busy or crowded at this time, and we could really soak in the atmosphere. When we left, there were far more people arriving. Jamie knows a lot of information, and that helped us all understand about the history of Dachau, and the sentiment of the time. Really, really interesting. The tour from start to finish lasted several hours, and was very, very informative. This was the best tour we took while in Germany.
As an FYI, if it is cold, or really hot for that matter, you will be outside a lot. Make sure you dress appropriately. We had all bundled up, but by the end of the tour everyone was cold. Of course, we all appreciated that we had coats and shoes, while the prisoners didn't.
