Reviews
Anja O. was extremely knowledgeable and explained the historical background throughout the journey to the construction camp in a clear and logical sequence, which made it easy to follow and understand. She remained neutral when presenting the history and even prepared her own pictures to support her explanations. We were also given the option to stay at the camp a little longer after the tour, which was much appreciated. It was truly a highly educational experience, and I learned a great deal from the trip.
Sarah was a great guide. Clear, detailed, & very thoughtful in timing our visit to the barackes (museum) to avoid crowds. A truly memorable place for us.
Learning this piece of history is a mixed experience. Feelings of curiosity, wonder, surprise, sadness describe this tour. Never miss this when you visit Berlin. Definitely worth the time and effort spent. Our guide Beny carefully described what happened in the past.
導遊:very details explainon from the area of house outside the Meseum or the story inside the area. it’s very sad to heard those terrible story. but it definitely good to go as we can understand the history
Insightful trip visiting one of the main concentration camps. You get to walk through the path the prisoners walk, visit some original buildings, artifacts and also hear what went down the place. the guide was very helpful, speak good English, and we had no problems following. Just bear in mind that there will not be an official lunch break, so pack along some snacks to keep you going!
As a Taiwanese individual from a Mandarin-speaking country, I found our guide Irina's detailed introduction to the concentration camp's historical stories to be exceptional. Much of the content contained true stories that are difficult to imagine or comprehend from Mandarin resources. I commend Irina for her professional and passionate presentation. If I have the opportunity in the future, I hope to learn more about the concentration camp stories through her.
We joined the Original Berlin Walks tour to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, and our guide, Sarah, was extremely friendly and enthusiastic. She explained the history of World War II and the concentration camp clearly in English, helping us gain a deeper understanding. Sarah was also happy to answer any questions we had. One of our group members had limited mobility, and Sarah was always considerate, slowing down her pace and pointing out elevators and flat pathways, which made us feel very comfortable 😌 We are so grateful to Sarah for giving us such a wonderful day trip in Berlin 🥰
In the morning, wait for the tour guide outside Starbucks. The guide will assist with purchasing transportation tickets to the concentration camp, with fascinating explanations throughout the entire tour. You can ask as many questions as you like, making it very worthwhile.
Guide Ronja was clearly knowledgeable and experienced, and was polished in her delivery of this tour. It would be good if it can be longer, less rushed. Those who prefer not to walk for too long, may be given an option of free time and regroup with the rest before the end of the tour fir round-up.
Great tour, would highly recommend to those that enjoy learning about history. Bring your own snacks and refreshments as they are limited on site.
