Highly recommend - one of the best walking tours I’ve done - One of the best walking tours I’ve ever been on. Rebecca was a fantastic tour guide and I’m so glad we want to the camp with her vs on our own - she highlighted things that you wouldn’t get by going alone. Would highly recommend.

It doesn’t get better than this! - This tour was conducted by ‘Steve’, the most amiable, knowledgeable, helpful Tour Guide that I have ever met. He knew his subject backwards from the moment we met outside Starbucks until the moment we parted company at Alexanderplatz (even though the tour officially ended at Sachsenhausen. The 6 hours absolutely flew by as he recounted the history of the Camps from the formation of Germany in 1871, right through the Great War, the Treaty of Versailles, the rise of National Socialism and why, the main players, the final solution and then the liberation of the Camp as well as its subsequent use. Fascinating guy and a fascinating tour. In addition, Steve was an absolute credit to his company!

Excellent service - We had the best trip. Obviously such a sad destination to visit but learnt so much and catered to our 3 children well. Having the guide meet us at our hotel and taking is us via two trains was such a relaxed experience as I would have struggled and been stressed.

Gregor is a great guide - Gregor was exceptional and very knowledgeable. His respect for the victims of Sachsenhausen was admirable and he made sure we understood proper etiquette. His indepth knowledge of the memorial was extremely valuable. He presented more than one interpretation/thoughts if the art, memorial, etc. He is open to all opinions and perspectives and willing to kearn from others. As this was a small geoup(2), we had time to ask him many questions As a native to Berlin we asked MANY questions about Berlin and his family’s personal experiences. We appreciated Gregor VERY much. Highly recommend Gregor.

Sobering and thought provoking experience. - I did the tour to the camp while my wife was shopping.My guide was Pip who was excellent and had a great ability to put the whole sobering experience into a historical perspective. I learned lots and would highly recommend this tour especially if you have an interest in Germany's dark past. John Dublin

Great tour and great guide - We did this tour, and although the weather wasn't wonderful, we had an excellent day. Our guide Beth was easy to follow and learn from, plus evidently very knowledgeable- she showed a real passion. Would definitely recommend this tour

Great walking tour - The tour started with meeting out tour guide Sebastian at the train station. There were 13 in our group and he did an excellent job in keeping us altogether whilst changing trains and walking from the station to the site of the camp. Sebastian gave us a very infomative and interesting talk to begin with, setting the scene and explaining the timeline of when and why things happened. Our walk through the different parts of the camp were very thought provoking and everything was dealt with well. All questions were answered and Sebastians knowledge was fabulous. Thankfully we got the bus back to the train station and got the train back into Berlin. It was a day I will never forget. Thank you Sebastian.

Tour guide was great, your company is appalling - Avoid this company like the plague. Their customer service is stand offish rude and totally inflexible. They deliberately obfuscate, respond to your complaints with unnecessary sarcasm and are just generally totally unprofessional. No doubt one of them will reply with some nonsense about me being abusive because I had the gall to open a dispute with PayPal and they didn't get a joke. Awful, awful company
