Guide was very informative and everything was covered in the tour. Would definately recommend to others!
We just came back from Berlin and did the 'Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial' tour with a fantastic guide Arja and we really enjoyed the tour. Visiting a concentration camp was not a happy experience at all, but Arja did a great job of getting us all out to Oranienburg and back again on the train and ensuring that we were prepared for the long day ahead, i.e. food and drink as their are limited facilities available at the camp.
Arja's knowledge of the camp's history as both a concentration camp and a Russian prison were fantastic and there is a wealth of information to take in and so much to see that we were shown the key exhibits to give us an understanding of what life was like for the prisoners held at the camp. You get the offer to stay longer after the tour but it is a big day at 6 hours and with so many other things to do in Berlin this was enough time. Arja was also great and assisting people to get to other parts of Berlin to do other activities after the tour which is a great help.
If you have the time then I can definitely recommend doing this tour as it won't disappoint at all and you get enough information about the day in the life of a prisoner and details about this period of German history.
I am not sure enjoy is the right word for the experience, but certainly the guide Finn was excellent and shared with us information and insights that I'm sure other groups were not privvy to.
The only suggestion I would make is that a bus be available to take the tour both back and forth to the camp. I found it very taxing to walk to the camp and to do all the walking while there as well.
Fantastic trip full of insight and history. Our tour guide Ashleigh was very knowledgeable and considerate of the sensitive nature of the tour. A must visit for anyone interested in history
it was really good walking tour and I recommend for that, very well explained.
We had a wonderful experience with this tour and our guide, Finn, was outstanding. Highly recommended for visitors to the Berlin area.
Very informative. Great guide. It was even kid friendly which was great
Excellent informative tour. Great tour leader.
Tour guide was very well versed and was like having a personal historian walk you through. He was very thorough, which provided a tremendous amount of insight that otherwise would not be addressed just touring alone. He made the entire visit very interesting. Extremely well done and worth doing.
Tour was outstanding. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and competent as well as being very friendly and helpful. Would certainly recommend to anyone.
A very informative and respectful tour. The guide was perfect, couldn't ask for more. Would recommend this tour to anyone.
Very good and sobering to learn what happened here!! Lots of information and a great day all around!!!
Very educational and incredibly eye-opening. This tour was conducted by Torben and I must say he was absolutely excellent. A really intelligent and rapporable character, he ensured that his audience were fully engaged and enjoyed themselves. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Berlin.
this tour is really moving, you cant help but feel sad when walking through that front gate.
our tour guide "carlos" was amazing, very informing. he paints a very clear picture of the events that took place where.
Very enlightening tour. Guide meets you at a central point and accompanies you on the trip. You need a degree of mobility - anybody who has mobility limitations this may not be the tour for you. Guide very informative.
