Peter The Great - I would highly recommend this tour, very heavy going due to the nature of the atrocities but a tour that must be seen. Our tour guide Peter was absolutely amazing and deserves a 5 star +. His knowledge was unbelievably superb (Wikipedia does not have a look in). If I go back to Berlin I would love to go on other tours with Peter being our guide. The duration of the tour was perfect and at a very reasonable price. Keep up the excellent work Viator.

Richard through concentration camp - Our tour guide Richard was very knowledgeable and so helpful with all of our questions. It was really impressive the amount of information he had shared with us on the tour. My partner and I enjoyed our tour experience

Very friendly and... - Very friendly and well-explained tour! The guide made it a way better experience than it would have been if we had done it alone. Totally worth it!

Mandatory visit if you like history. - A hard but enjoyable visit, even if it lasts about four hours is interesting and I would say obligatory if we like history. The work of the guide was excellent. I remember he's from Tenerife, but not his name.

Enlightening experience - The Sachsenhausen tour was educational and enlightening. I booked this tour before I knew I was pregnant so just FYI it is fast paced. I recommend bringing plenty of water, comfortable shoes, and a hat. I learned information I didn’t know before and walking into the camp itself weighs heavy. I have been to Dachau and they of course compare but there’s terrible things that happened to people exclusively for being in Sachsenhausen.

Good but longer than advertised. - Phillipe was a great guide. Lots of knowledge and passion for his subject. We picked this tour because it is advertised as approx 4 hours. We found this misleading as it didn’t include the hour each way travelling time, taking us closer to 6 hours. It was our last day in the city so please bear this in mind if you have travel plans the day of the tour. You should update your information to closer to 6 hours. And the google maps reference point took us to the wrong meeting place and we nearly missed the whole thing. Worth putting in local landmark like meet outside the u station exit next to the park inn!

Informative - We really enjoyed the tour overall, and our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. However, at times he shared personal opinions and political views more than we expected, which distracted a little from the experience. As tourists, we found the German train system a bit confusing. Although we purchased tickets, we didn’t realise we needed to validate them before boarding. Unfortunately, after travelling just one stop, all five of us were stopped by a conductor and each received a €60 fine for fare evasion. The guide did his best to help resolve the situation, but the transport authorities were not very helpful, as the fines hadn’t yet been processed. It would be helpful if future tours included clear, explicit guidance about using local transport systems to avoid similar issues. Despite this, we still found the tour enjoyable and informative.

Better hire another visit. - Walk 1,5 km. outbound and the same back to very light pace not warned in advance. The reason: that the bus was full. Arrival times can be sought to avoid this. Explanations: the little ones.

Terrible experience wouldn’t recommend anyone to partake in this tour - We arrived early/ prior to our set arrival time (9am arrival for a 9:30 start). We contacted our guide as we were looking for them, however no response, until 10mins after the meeting time, expressing that they had left. We were then told to ‘find our own way there’, and when we arrived to look for a ‘tall black man’ with no specific location or instruction. We encountered no ‘tall black man’, thus a complete waste of our day, time and money. We can never get our time back but at least we can get our money back for services not rendered, with the exception of the inconvience and disappointment caused. At no point prior to arrival did anyone specify who we were meeting, or what to look out for except to be at the meeting point, in which we were. We witnessed many other tour groups with clear identifiable characteristics, such as yellow umbrellas. Overall, really disappointed, and would like my money back ASAP. I’ve requested a refund, however it’s been declined AND with no reasoning or explanation. Severely disappointment and believe that this tour is a SCAM.
