Peter the Great (English tour guide) gave us a great tour of Sauchenhausen Concentration Camp and Potsdam! - Our English guide Peter was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Provided lots of insights and fun facts about our tour locations. Very well paced. Maintained steady routine without seeming rushed at all.

Our trip to one of the saddest places on earth - Peter was very friendly and knowledgeable, would have liked to go inside the palace and spend more time there than spend an hour in Brandenburg street

Nice compact tour - Excellent quick tour of the camp and Potsdamer . The tour was very compact as there was too much to see and could not cover all there is to see. However, our tour guide, Peter, did an excellent job of explaining the main facts about the areas visited. We enjoyed the tour very much.
The only complaint I have is that we were combined with a Spanish tour group and the bus was therefore, packed full. Seating with your companion was not always available/possible.

Fantastic Tour - The was a great way to see both of these sites. The Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp was such an amazing, interesting and eerie visit. Our guide was so knowledgeable and was able to tell us lots of information about the horrors that went on there.
Potsdam was beautiful and interesting to see. We didn't have time to go inside unfortunately but was lovely to visit.
Bonus was the bus had USB charging ports which was really convenient.

It's a long 7-8 hour tour... - It's a long 7-8 hour tour so make sure you have no other plans the day you book for. It was very informative and well worth the time and money. English and Spanish tours ride on the same bus and take turns narrating in each language, but split up at the sights. Whalid was great as our English tour guide and had a lot of interesting and entertaining things to say!

Peter, Tour Guide ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ - Overall, it was a very good and educational tour. The concentration camp tour was heavy and chilling. Ending the tour at the palace was a nice and positive.
Peter is an excellent tour guide! He was very informative and with his great storytelling skills, he brought everything to life.

Highly Recommend! - Jonas is a phenomenal tour guide. It is clear that he is highly educated on the atrocities from WWII, and he shares that information in a way that is engaging and thought provoking. I believe this tour is designed in a respectful manner to the victims and survivors of the Holocaust at the concentration camp memorial. It is smart to then take the group to Potsdam, to another key time in German history, and also a gorgeous location. Plus some free time near the end, which is always nice while on full-day tours.
I absolutely encourage folks to take this tour and book with Jonas. Thanks!

A good taste of history - Made my decision knowing what other reviews said. I expected to not go into buildings or the palace, but I didn’t realize how quickly we’d move through the two locations. No time for stopping really in order to stay with the group and hear the information. The guide, Peter, was excellent. He had many stories to share and I learned a lot. It is not a tour for folks who cannot do stairs (there are no railings) and there’s a LOT of walking so be prepared if you chose this tour. Also, you share the bus with the Spanish speaking group and the bus ride is mostly the Spanish guide talking. It’s not an even split. Overall I’m glad I did the tour, but if there was just a bit more I would’ve given it a 5.
