Excellent private tour

Thai_H, Oct 2025

Aaron was very knowledgeable and was able to set up a timeline of the politics at the time and provide a detailed summary of the evolution of history.

Super Informative

Sean_M, Oct 2025

Very informative and well worth the time and great value!! We heard a great perspective on the camp as well as how the camp fit into the broader context of the war.

No better way to experience the Sachsenhausen Memorial

robert_v, May 2025

Exceptional opportunity to learn about the camps with a comprehensive backdrop of German history from pre-war to present. Aaron, our guide, is an avid German, military, and world historian. Couldn’t ask for a better guide and tour.

Perfect!

This was a perfect way to start our Holocaust journey. Aaron was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the camp. He taught us things we did not know as he discussed very difficult topics. I highly recommend him and this tour for those that really want to learn.

Awesome experience!

Luka_L, May 2023

Aaron was amazing! He knows what he is talking about and this is why this activity was so interessing! He took his time to explain everything he knows about Sachsenhausen. The informations I learned from him was not heavy even if the WW2 history is a very large topic. He gave me some time alone to visit some parts of the concentration camp. I have no regret!

Best Guide ever

Neale_B, Apr 2023

Aaron was very knowledgeable and passed on his wealth of knowledge to our two teenage children. He also went beyond the normal guide duties in showing us the best way back to our hotel.

Very knowledgeable!

Kirstin_F, Feb 2023

Very informative! Aaron was personable and knowledgeable. He took great care of us and knew so much about the history of the camp. Thank you for a great tour, Aaron!

Aaron was an excellent...

Phillip_W, Apr 2022

Aaron was an excellent guide. Knowledgeable, engaging and was able to adapt the tour to what we required. I would highly recommend him.

Paul the Irishman is awesome if you get him as your tour guide

Victor M, Dec 2019

Graduate student who is very knowledgeable about the site. Very easygoing and quite flexible to how you would like to structure your tour. Five stars; this guys makes the tour!

One of our best day trips from Berlin!

Traci H, Oct 2019

Very interesting and informative visit! Paul was a great guide. He had an in-depth knowledge that was well beyond the basic facts of what happened there, and had a lot of suggestions of books and movies that would help us learn more. We liked that it was a private tour, as it seemed that we were visiting with a friend and it afforded us the opportunity to move at our own pace, focus on the areas that were of the most interest to us, and allowed us time to have our questions answered.

Del Rosario Family trip

. This was a somber tour but full of uniquely informative. We gained a historical perspective not typically known by most. Our guide was stupendous! Worth every penny. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating to our requests which made the tour just perfect! I recommend hotel pick up even though it’s not what Americans call hotel pick up. Having your guide walk you through the various modes of transportation there and back was extremely stress frer

Response from Host, Aug 2019

Many thanks for the kind words and taking the time to leave a review. It is a tough site to visit but I am very glad you found it a valuable experience.

Deeply moving and informative

Sarah_B, Jul 2019

Our trip with our guide Paul was very informative and deeply touching. The grounds have an energy that is truly hard to put into words. We enjoyed our guide and his knowledge and even though it is a glance at the unspeakable evil that spread through Germany and other countries, it is important to educate our children about history so that they can prevent these types of things happening again.

Verrijkende en aangrijpende ervaring

Niels_K, Jan 2024

Onze privégids Julian overtrof onze verwachtingen met zijn deskundigheid en gedetailleerde rondleiding door Sachsenhausen. Hij nam ruimschoots de tijd om de fascinerende geschiedenis en aangrijpende verhalen te delen, waardoor de tour onvergetelijk werd. We waardeerden de flexibiliteit om ons eigen vervoer naar het kamp te regelen, en de communicatie met de touroperator verliep snel en professioneel. Julian's begeleiding was niet alleen verrijkend, maar zijn diepgaande inzicht in de (vooral vreselijke) geschiedenis van het concentratiekamp maakt deze privétour een absolute aanrader voor iedereen die een indrukwekkende en leerzame reiservaring zoekt.
