Very impressive visit

Dan_P, May 2024

Me and my family members visited for the first time this kind of location. We were extremally impressed with the life conditions the prisoners had to endure.

Unique, Informative, and Eye-Opening Experience

Carter_W, Apr 2024

This tour was extremely informative and eye-opening. I learned a lot that I did not know before this. Would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Berlin whether you are going solo or with a group.

Very educational trip

KarinaElisabeth_A, Apr 2024

This was genuinely one of the most interesting tour I’ve been on. The guide we had knew his stuff and answered all of our questions. He told us horrible stories which made the trip more powerful and we really felt the pain that was inflicted here. This was 10/10

Shocking but well worth a visit

Teresa_D, Mar 2024

It was a very interesting but heartbreaking visit. Quite overwhelming. Walk d was an excellent tour guide, he knew when it was appropriate to inject humour and also to advise about the horrors of the visit. He dealt with the travel arrangements very well. He was knowledgeable and informed.

Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial

Reena_D, Feb 2024

We had the lovely Roshana Noor who guided us through this memorable tour. Her depth of knowledge about the site and everything around it was mesmerizing and provided great education on what took place in this camp. She also made sure that the group stayed together and took care of us while we took took different transportation to and from the camp. Thank you Roshana for a memorable experience

Super tour

We had Walid Farruque as our tour guide and he was the best! Very informative and super engaging and enthusiastic as a tour guide ! Would highly recommend this tour and him as a tour guide specifically to anyone visiting Berlin !

Concentration Camp Day Trip

Robert_C, Dec 2023

Wally ( hope I spelled his name correctly) was a great guide from the time we met until the time we got back to Berlin. He even took the time to tell those of us staying at the Berlin Hilton what train to take and where to get off to arrive back at the Hotel Great day and learning experience

A “must do” when in Berlin.

Coleen_D, Dec 2023

Steve ( from Australia ) was our guide. He was very attentive and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend

Great experience and highly recommend

Joshua_C, Dec 2023

Steve was an excellent guide with great knowledge both of the camp and Germany during that period in general. It was a great experience and highly recommend

Powerful

Chelsea_W, Nov 2023

Very powerful experience. Would recommend for all those that would like to visit, get a better understanding of the holocaust, and honor the past. Our guide (Amelia) handled this tough matter with sensitivity and lots of info to share.

Everyone should do this

greg_p, Oct 2023

This trip was all about the guide —his fund of knowledge of the source material and personal reflections —having been born, raised , educated in the DDR —were enlightening and thought provoking . Also —he really took group under his broader wing giving all recommendations for post-trip and getting us all safely back to Berlin after the planned train was cancelled

Hands down great tour

Nichols_R, Oct 2023

Hannah was a great tour guide. She shared so much information and gave us time to see it all. The grounds are alot to cover but it’s eye opening to see it all and read about it. Worth the experience!

Unforgettable and touching experience

Marlene_L, Oct 2023

Awesome experience

Excellent tour of Sachsenhausen provided by Tom Durrant

John_C, Sep 2023

My husband and I took the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp tour on September 17, 2023. Our tour guide was Thomas Durrant who is from London, England but has been living and working in Berlin for several years. There were about 12 people on the tour from many different countries. The man from Australia probably traveled the furthest to join the tour. We are Americans as were four other couples. Other young men were from Hong Kong and Singapore. Tom provided a tour that was geared to the various levels of prior knowledge of NAZI Germany and its brutalities possessed by the tour goers. I am sure that all learned from him. My husband, who is a well read history buff, picked up a few things that he was previously unaware of. Tom did not gloss over any of the horrible things done at Sachsenhausen. However, he presented these facts in an accurate but sensitive way. On a scale of one to ten I would rate his tour as a fifteen.

So worth it

Dana_B, Sep 2023

Our guide was amazing. His stories brought history to life and he clearly cared about keeping everyone happy and well cared for.

Great experience

Colin_L, Sep 2023

Steve was amazing, very knowledge and delivered the history in a interesting way. Thank you for the day

Gregor who was our guide,...

Kacey_S, Aug 2023

Gregor who was our guide, was excellent. You can tell that he enjoys what he does and is very knowledgeable about the topic. It was my first camp tour ever and it left a good impression on me despite the topic. Would recommend the tour and Gregor specifically.

Such a sweet, friendly guide

Susan_R, Aug 2023

This was a wonderful tour- Roshana was such a nice guide. She was so informative and interesting. She made sure we all got back on the correct train- she even walked us right there to make sure we didn’t get lost- (believe me in that train station we would have got lost without her!) - she is so sweet!! She gave us other options that we could do after the tour. This tour is highly recommended and make sure that you request her.

We had Gregor as our guide. He was absolutely outstanding and added so much to the experience of being at the camp.
