Insider Reviews

Great tour - super informative

Gabi was so knowledgeable about the camp, the history surrounding the war and Germany’s political history and was very friendly, inclusive and helpful. The tour itself was the perfect length of time - 10am - 2pm and the coach drive out was very comfortable. Highly highly recommend.

Chilling, but must do

An excellent day, led by our supremely knowledgable, very personable and enthusiastic leader, (Who even took the time to chat about my Uncle’s Bomber Command service) The chilly, wet weather added to the atmosphere of this chilling place. A must do visit, appreciating the history. A++++ all the way.

The guide makes the trip

I expected to be moved just simply because of the nature of the tour, but our guide left me speechless with the detailed information and insight. One of the most knowledge filled tours I’ve taken.

Bus tour to Sachsenhausen

The tour was very interesting! It is very impressive to see the Camp in person and imagine all that the victims went through. Our guide, was very knowledgeable and provided in-depth information regarding several aspects of the functioning of the Camps and all the system behind them. Bus was very comfortable

Info on bus was amazing!

Our tour guide was so knowledgable and passionate about what was daily life in the camp he actually brought it to life. It was a chillingly memorable experience and my 17 year old son who is fascinated by history now has such an understanding of life inside one of these camps that no history book could ever give him.

In depth look in to the heart of eveil.

Our tour guide, Jamie, was amazing. Extremely knowledgeable about Sachsenhausen and the Nazi era of concentration and extermination camps. Taking the bus to the site was an excellent choice. Jamie's commentary began as soon as the bus pulled out, so we had an overview before we reached Sachsenhausen. Learning about this site's role in the planning of Hitler's mass murder campaign was heart-wrenching and provides a cautionary tale for all.

Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp

Comfortable half hour ride to the camp with very knowledgeable guide. He spoke on the way about the rise of the Third Reich and formation of the concentration camps. The camp has a museum and various structures which have been rebuilt. Our guide, Campbell, provided great insights and information about this and other camps. Knight D. Sept. '22
