Da Berlino: Tour commemorativo del campo di concentramento di Sachsenhausen

I visited on July 16. Roshana was an excellent guide and a clear expert on this topic. The Sachsenhausen museum focuses almost exclusively on the experiences of jewish people. Roshana provided additional information on other groups affected by the holocaust - e.g., roma people and homosexuals. This is a great addition to anyone looking to learn more about LGBTQ history! Roshana also took care of us following the tour and advised on how to navigate transit to where we wanted to go next, gave restaurant recommendations, and recommendations for a great lake to cool off in.

We went to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp on July 13th with our tour guide, Roshana. Our time at Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp was confronting and important. Roshana explained the gravity of the loss & devastation memorably and thoughtfully.

We went on the tour with Roshana on July 5th to the Sachsenhausen concentrating camp and she was very informative! Great time and learned a lot!

The experience felt disorganized, from the beginning we met in one place and then needed to go to another. Admission is not included in the cost, nor is the bus there. The guide was incoherent and jumped between the years very much.

Excellent, Roshana was amazing!

Roshana was an absolutely brilliant tour guide who is dedicated to sharing the research in all weather. We went on a scorching hot day (41C+), but Roshana’s informative tour kept me so focused through the tour’s duration that I barely remember the heat. She knew the details of each section of the camp intimately, provided the full historical context, and was happy to answer any and all questions. I would request her in the future if I return to tour the camp again.

I joined the tour today from Berlin to Sachsenhausen with Walid. I am always fascinated by world history, and the teachings from this tour are as relevant today as they were 80 years ago. Walid is an expert and friendly tour guide, handling a diverse group of travellers very appropriately, and making sure everyone was looked after. It is clear that he has an extensive knowledge of German and Berlin history, and is passionate about what he does. Any travellers will be fortunate to book into one of his tours. The instructions for joining were clear, and the starting point was easy to find. Walid provided us with information along the journey from the start point to the finish, helping us navigate the Berlin train system, and answering my many questions about historical nuances and niche points of interest. Yes, this is a sobering place, but the context and content are so relevant, and these types of events and places need to be understood so that hopefully we can prevent future atrocities. P.S. I note that some reviews mention not being able to take photos inside the camp. This was not at all my experience today, and I didn't see any indications that this wasn't allowed. So don't let this put you off!

Our guide Miguel was truly passionate and informative about the camp. Including the construction, running and purposes in both ww11 and soviet post war. He was happy to give you as much information as you wanted, truly a knowledgable guide. 5*

We toured the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial and had an incredible experience with Roshana. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and truly a delight to be around. They did a fantastic job navigating such a sensitive and heavy topic with the utmost respect, while also ensuring our group felt safe and well-informed throughout the entire day. Highly recommend!

I was a tour guide long ago in Canada and done many organized tours. When researching which one to book for the concentration camp memorial I was inspired by the reviews. We considered taking the bus tour but based on time and money took the train one. It was not clear that we had to each pay 10 euros to go by train. Now the bus versus train option was much less. Also were asked for 3 euros again not clearly outline that this was a donation for the memorial. I found it very challenging to understand Roshana, out your guides accent (which I know happens but when book English your don’t expect offer) and at felt like I was in a kindergarten tour to keep us on time. Sorry but there was an English guide in the site as well and both my husband and I wished we had booked both them. Perhaps booking this tour with another guide would give you a different experience but I would recommend the 59 euros again bus tour.
