The tour was absolutely interesting and we learned a lot. The guide knew a lot about the topic and was able to answer all questions. However, there should have been a bit more time in the end, for example to visit the gift shop. Overall it was a very interesting experience.

"Loved it" would not be the correct word to use for this tour, but it certainly was a very thought-provoking & eye-opening experience - a part of history that people should be made aware of, that can in no way be conveyed in a book. You have to see it to believe it. I was surprised to have an American guide thought the guide would be German, but I have to say that she conveyed the essence of the tour perfectly & had a real depth of feeling for what she was talking about. Her commentary was clear, interesting & detailed & she gave ample opportunity to ask questions. The site has a very eerie feeling about it - a lot has been preserved & what hasn't has been replaced with items that immortalise it, but I think that each person who visits will have their own personal thoughts & feelings about the history of this place. Definitely worth a visit if you seriously want to experience the lives of victims during the war. Not a "fun-day-out" trip for the family though.

The tour was probably a bit too long for the cold conditions, but well worth doing. Very informative. Tour guide had excellent knowledge of historical events.

This was a very good trip, due in part to very good organisation, from meeting up to being returned to Berlin. However, the high standard of presentation our guide was able to provide was excellent. Not only informative about the site but also the 'back fill' of German history. He gave a very rounded presentation.

A real eye opener, hadn't heard of Sachsenhausen before and the guide was excellent. I felt I learned a lot and to be honest it was a haunting experience walking around this place. Something both fascinating and horrific.

While the core product of this tour is rather depressing and sad, a tour around a concentration camp is a must for those who want to witness the brutality of the Nazi regime. Done with thoughtfulness and sensitivity. The tour guide was fantastic, he could have easily have made it a very awkward and uncomfortable visit but some how didn't.

Well organised trip. Warm welcome given by guides at meeting point. Clear itinerary of day given so knew what to expect. Felt looked after! Very important to feel that. At Sachsenhausen clear, sufficient amounts of information given but not too much! The guide was open to questions and further inquiries by participants. Friendly, helpful guide. Made trip interesting throughout. One suggested improvement. Please make it clear in the instructions on the voucher exactly which type of train ticket is required..zone AB...would save valuable time making inquiries at station. Also details about the destination station for Sachsenhausen. Great trip!

I enjoyed the tour, however there was a bit of a train fiasco in trying to meet up with the other group. It worked out in the end.

I felt the trip to Sachsenhausen was extremely worthwhile. One thing I appreciated was the range of tours on offer and hope to enroll again when I'm back in town. My guide was very well informed, personable and enthusiastic. I would certainly recommend your whole program.
