This is the second time I've done this tour. The second tour was absolutely incredible, Hannah did a wonderful job explaining the history throughout the session. I left with more information, some that was not covered in the first tour, and it was overall well paced. While there will never be enough time to fully explore Sachsenhausen, I still felt that I left this experience far more educated.

It is different when you are actually at the place where those horrible things happened. It’s hard to see it all but the tour guide Paul was really good and helped to understand how it all happened. Really good English as native speaker, absolute amazing knowledge about the history and Sachsenhausen and friendly.

If you can, take the bus tour with tour guide Emma - she's amazing. She is quite educated on the Holocaust and the concentration camps, and very passionate on the subject. She's considerate of the needs of those on the tour, and very open to questions.

Our tour guide, Emma was amazing. She was like a walking historian. She gave the background on Hitler like I've never heard before and taught us so much about propaganda. She was amazing. She did not mince words… These camps killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Good reminder to never forget.

Paul was so knowledgeable about the camp and its place in history. He handled the tough truths of what happened at the concentration camp with incredible sensitivity and honesty and made sure we had time to both see things for ourselves and hear important information. I wish we had more time in Berlin to take more tours with him! Excellent experience!

Joachim (hope I got the spelling correct) was a fantastic knowledgeable guide. We all could hardly believe it was his first time.
He checked us all in timely and while on the bus, he gave us some background history before the Sachsenhausen tour. He spoke very clearly and with important facts.
While we were at the camp, he further made sure we were timely and all together. He offered many fun facts and interesting tidbits. I especially liked the end-story with the music.

Heather_P, Jun 2026
Our tour guide was excellent. He did a great job of explaining what was happening in the country that led to the Nazi party and mentality, and also centering the tour on the perspective of those imprisoned at the camp. It was a deeply moving, emotional tour but absolutely worth it. He was also extremely accommodating of an older person in our group who was struggling with the heat, and we were very grateful for that. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.

If you go on the tour in Summer, bring a. Umbrella and water, as you'll be outside in the sun and heat. Our tour guide Mickey was an extremely knowledgeable historian who thoroughly explained the roots of the Nazi party and the party's affect on German daily life and society. Excellent tour guide who was able to explain a complex history in a simple and powerful way.

Insightful understanding of why the first concentration camp was built near Berlin as a model for future camps. Overwhelming to walk through and see how low the depravity of man can go without a moral compass.

It’s a fair amount of walking so wear comfortable shoes: trainers/sneakers. The coach ride gives you a great background for what you will be experiencing.

This is a compact tour of one of the concentration camps during WWII... about an hour north of Berlin. It is well-run, the bus is very comfortable, and our guide, Emma, was amazing in her knowledge and led our group like she knew what she was doing! SHE made this a great tour. If you want to dive deeper into this memorial, you would need more time here... but this is exactly what we desired.

Tina did a great job guiding us through Sachsenhausen. She told the story in a nuanced way that conveyed the depths of the inhumanity that occurred there, while also helping us understand the social, political, and psychological forces that made it possible. She was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and compassionate throughout. Highly recommended.

Mikey was absolutely fantastic! We went with a large group via bus and it was definitely preferred for us vs train. Before booking we debated whether or not to go since we thought content would be heavy, but Mikey did a masterful job with story telling and teeing up the concentration camp tour with historical context. We all agreed that the tour exceeded all of our expectations and I would absolutely rebook.
Vielen dank, Mikey and team!
