A Tour Not to Be Missed - This was one of the best tours I have taken anywhere. Our guide, Paul, was highly educated in history and extremely knowledgeable. I asked questions the whole time and he always knew the answers. We took public transportation to get to our destination. That was interesting too and took away all of the stress of having to figure it out. The camp was a good choice for us because of the unique history of it. I highly recommend this tour and the tour company.

A highlight of our week in Berlin! - Outstanding tour. Guide was Paul Tobin; he’s fantastic. I’m a history nut; my wife not so much, but we both enjoyed the tour a great deal. If your travels take you to Berlin, this is a tour you must take!

Positive experience despite the deeply sad subject - This was a very positive experience despite the deeply sad subject of the tour. There was a lot of information provided to help give a selection of life at the camp. Julian was an excellent tour guide! He was helpful in suggesting hats and gloves due to the camp being very windy and colder than the city. The information he gave was thorough and interesting.

Informative and engaging tour - highly recommend - Excellent tour - very informative. Our guide Paul was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We highly recommend booking a tour to see Sachsenhausen - and this private tour allowed us to learn so much more and ask questions along the way. We we walked away with a much better understanding of the history of the camp itself but also the war in general. Our teen girls even paid attention!

Camp in a few words - More important site than might be understood - well worth the trip
The site is well preserved/conserved and the exhibits thought provoking.
