Sachsenhausen Tour - Pete was amazing! His knowledge was excellent and very factual. He was very helpful and friendly after the tour with some great recommendations. Couldn’t recommend him more as a guide.

A very informative tour - The tour of Sachsenhausen with Buendia Tours was absolutely brilliant and one not to be missed if you are in Berlin and interested in wartime history.
Our guide Pete was honest, thoughtful and very generous with his knowledge. He made sure that the tour was presented in a way that was both easily understandable to those with varying knowledge and sensitive to the topics being spoken about.
The tour started at Alexanderplatz and the journey to the camp took two trains (one underground, one mainline railway) and was about an hour travel in total. Be aware that you do need to purchase an ABC train ticket in advance of the tour and the tour will start promptly at the time stated on the booking so do not be late. Once we arrived at the town where the camp is situated (Oranienburg), we walked for around 15-20 minutes, stopping briefly to chat about a couple of different facts about the town. There are bathrooms situated at the visitor centre of the camp if required and the entire tour is on pretty even surfaces.
The tour itself was mainly outside, which was tricky in the cold Berlin winter, but Pete did give the option for those who wanted to stay warm to sit in the café on site and meet the rest of the group once the tour was over. He also gave the option for those wishing to stay longer at the camp to get a later train back.
Overall, the tour was informative and a great opportunity to see a camp with so much dark history behind it. I could not recommend the tour, or Pete as a guide, more.

Great tour - Jonas very informative - Jonas our guide was very informative and efficient. He provided us with lots of information throughout the tour and answered everyone’s questions with ease. He obviously has extensive knowledge.
It was easy to spot the tour meeting spot at Alexanderplatz and Jonas made sure we all knew which transport links we needed for our journey.

Great guide - moving tour - Our guide was fantastic. There was some rail issues and we had to take different, longer train(s) to arrive. There was a group which was being transported by a bus from the departure point which I would recommend for anyone with any mobility issues. We had less time at the camp due to the metro issues but our guide was great and we enjoyed visiting the camp and learning the history.

Avoid This Tour At All Cost - I’m traveling from Florida to Berlin, and due to hurricane Helene my flight was delayed a few times, pushing my arrival date two days later. In that timeframe I had this tour booked. I reached out and they denied modifying my reservation, because I didn’t give them 24 hours notice. Skip this tour - horrible company practice
