Traveler reviews
An in depth tour with a superb guide!
I have been with students to Sachsenhausen at least 4 times. Julia at Berlin Walks was by far the best guide I have had there. Her passion for history, her knowledge, and her empathy toward the students made it a special moment. Many students mentioned this tour as a highlight of their week as they learned so much and were so moved by the experience. Julia asked great questions to engage the students and was patient with every question. And when she knew she would speak for more than a few minutes, she always made sure there was a place for students to sit. What was particularly great was the fact that she met us at the station near our hostel and walked with us through the town of Oranienburg on a similar route the prisoners would have taken from the train station. Along the route she pointed out what the would have been going on in the town, where camp labor was used, and where camp guards lived and trained. Sometimes guides can talk down to kids, make them feel bad for maybe not having the right attitude. She set the tone early on as their guide and thought partner. She let them know what appropriate behavior was, what to take pictures of and what to leave out of photos, what could be sat on and what was sacred. I appreciate the extra time and care she took to make sure our trip was a success.
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.

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.
