Private Berlin-Tour zur KZ-Gedenkstätte Sachsenhausen

We had such a meaningful experience touring Sachsenhausen with our guide, Will. He took the time to understand what we were interested in and tailored the tour around our questions, making it feel incredibly personal. He was extremely knowledgeable and provided so much context we never would have picked up on our own. Given the emotional weight of Sachsenhausen, Will approached the history with thoughtfulness, sensitivity, and respect. We left feeling deeply moved, reflective, and grateful for the experience. It’s something that will stay with us for a long time, and we can’t recommend Will enough.

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.

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. 🙏

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.

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.

It is hard to know how you’ll feel and what you’ll be able to take in doing a tour like this, but our guide, Artie, truly made this meaningful day even more special and meaningful. I have been learning about the Holocaust for my whole life, but somehow Artie’s style made things stick in a way they haven’t before for me. He gives and excellent and concise history of how the Nazis came to power, how Sachsenhausen came to be where it is and what the townspeople thought about it, unapologetically discusses what German civilians saw and knew and when, allows the group to split off and take in more deeply what they need to when time allows, goes deep into the topics and behaviors that are so very difficult to believe and grasp without hesitation but also without drama. I believe he is as genuinely astonished and hit equally hard every time he tells people about the atrocities that happened there - like he still can’t believe it himself but wants to make sure you understand. Tells it like it was and is thoughtful and honest when questions are asked. I would highly recommend asking for him if you plan to take this tour (no slight to the other guides who may also be great - but he is terrific).

I was lucky enough to have Beny as my guide, and I couldn’t hope for better. He was able to tell with accuracy and sensitivity what happened in Sachsenhausen, mixing history, context and humanity. His way of transmitting, full of empathy and respect, makes the visit deeply touching. He takes the time to respond, listen, and allow everyone to truly understand and feel. It was a strong experience, made even more valuable by him. I am very grateful to have come across such a humane and passionate guide.

Beny was an excellent tour guide for my trip to the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave a great insight to the impact the camp had when it was functioning and the everlasting affects. He was able to answer any question we threw at him and ensured he spent time getting to know each and everyone in the group as well which made it a much more personal and fun experience. I would highly recommend this tour, especially Beny, to anyone wanting to learn more about the history of Berlin and Germany as a whole.

It was my first experience joined the local tour. Beny - the tour guide was quite knowledgeable and patiently explained the history.
