Traveler reviews
A moving must do private tour
An absolute eye opener and a must do private tour, we knew the story and the history but to see it first hand and have our guide Anja guide us through it was very moving. 🙏
Brilliant tour with Anja
Anja was our tour guide, and she was absolutely brilliant. Extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. The tour was very easy to navigate and went into great detail about Sachsenhausen and its history. Thank you for a fantastic and informative tour.
Your at sachsenhausen
It was a great tour. Our tour guide Beny was very knowledgeable and gave great information about sachsenhausen. Beny seemed very passionate about the history he was sharing.
A window into the darkness
This tour is a window into the depths of human depravity during one of the darkest periods of recent history. Our guide, Irina, brought exceptional knowledge to our journey.
Artie was outstanding for this tour
It is hard to know how you’ll feel and what you’ll be able to take in doing a tour like this, but our guide, Artie, truly made this meaningful day even more special and meaningful. I have been learning about the Holocaust for my whole life, but somehow Artie’s style made things stick in a way they haven’t before for me. He gives and excellent and concise history of how the Nazis came to power, how Sachsenhausen came to be where it is and what the townspeople thought about it, unapologetically discusses what German civilians saw and knew and when, allows the group to split off and take in more deeply what they need to when time allows, goes deep into the topics and behaviors that are so very difficult to believe and grasp without hesitation but also without drama. I believe he is as genuinely astonished and hit equally hard every time he tells people about the atrocities that happened there - like he still can’t believe it himself but wants to make sure you understand. Tells it like it was and is thoughtful and honest when questions are asked. I would highly recommend asking for him if you plan to take this tour (no slight to the other guides who may also be great - but he is terrific).
