More than just the camp and palace tour! - Amazing tour, Waddil ( apologies if I have spelt wrong) was fantastic!!! So knowledgeable and really personable! It's a long day and the camp is a harrowing visit, so having someone that is able to lift the mood after you leave is essential! The bus was so comfortable. A nice surprise at the end was the drive back through Berlin and past loads of tourist spots with the history of those too! Well worth the price!

Rich history of Berlin. - This tours gives you a complete history of Berlin. You will see some devastating sites through to the most serene and breathtaking sites. All while bring guided and explained in great detail. Amazing tour guide Wiled. If you have limited time and can only do one tour, this should be it.

Family tour of Sachsenhausen and Potsdam. - Along with my husband, my daughter and my son-in-law felt it was a day very well spent. The poignant experience at Sachsenhousen enriched our knowledge with the excellent communication from Pete… he found a way to bring somewhat to life, the horrors that took place there. Moving on to Potsdam and the descriptive way Pete taught us history we previously knew nothing about , felt animated and rich with the detail Pete shared with the group. We will seek out literature to learn more of what he began to teach us. We all felt that Pete was an excellent guide that brought much to life for us , along with the Berlin tour and history… we are so grateful to have chosen this tour and to be so fortunate that Pete was our guide! Highly recommend!

Excellent way to fill a day - Peter was a great guide! Wealth of interesting knowledge both at Sachsenhausen and in Potsdam. Easy to get to the meeting point, the tour left on time. We got back into Berlin at a good time where we had time to still do a bit of shopping and have dinner. My only critic is to have a bit more balance with how much English and Spanish there was on the shared bus to get to each location. There was sometimes a ton of Spanish and barely any English provided as we were driving to and from locations.

Excellent excursion thanks to Jaime - I highly recommend this excursion. Hand in hand with Jaime, the visit to Sachsenhausen concentration camp was a real discovery of how things went down without falling into rugged aspects , recommended to go with children from 12 years or so. then we went to Postdam where we could enjoy the beauty of the place and to finish, back to Berlin with a panoramic visit. All accompanied by multiple explanations, where you can get an idea of the story, contextualizing the facts and enjoying the story of them. You can tell that Jaime does his job by vocation.

Good "double" tour", both 3rd Reich and Imperial Germany - Odd mix of 3rd Reich and Imperial history, but it works. Also be aware, there's a good deal of walking in both places.
Felipe was excellent. I learned a great deal about the key role Sachsenhausen played in planning for all the camps. Also, he mastered the balance between the two halves of the tour.

Have a good day. - Walid is a friendly guide, we had a great day! The only downside, the lunch break at 3pm, is a long time! Little time in the end to explore Potsdam.
