Shocking but well worth a visit - It was a very interesting but heartbreaking visit. Quite overwhelming. Walk d was an excellent tour guide, he knew when it was appropriate to inject humour and also to advise about the horrors of the visit. He dealt with the travel arrangements very well. He was knowledgeable and informed.

informative tour - recommended - friendly, knowledgeable tour guide, who helped us with ticketing, and other info to get there and back. he was good on both the big and small details, and made it a really informative trip. would have been nice to spend more time in the museums inside the site, but you would probably need a whole day to do those justice. it did get quite cold btw, the temperature drops compared to when you are in berlin, so i would recommend anyone going takes a scarf, gloves etc (providing you are not going in the summer obv!)

Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial - We had the lovely Roshana Noor who guided us through this memorable tour. Her depth of knowledge about the site and everything around it was mesmerizing and provided great education on what took place in this camp. She also made sure that the group stayed together and took care of us while we took took different transportation to and from the camp.
Thank you Roshana for a memorable experience

Concentration Camp Day Trip - Wally ( hope I spelled his name correctly) was a great guide from the time we met until the time we got back to Berlin.
He even took the time to tell those of us staying at the Berlin Hilton what train to take and where to get off to arrive back at the Hotel
Great day and learning experience
