Itinerary
The tour will depart from Neptune Fountain. Throughout the day, you’ll enjoy one of the best excursions in Berlin and discover the most thrilling chapters of its history at key locations — all in a comfortable and high-quality experience.
The first stop will be the concentration camp. During the visit, we will learn about the prisoners' daily work and how everyday life unfolded in the camp, through the buildings that have survived to this day. We will gain an understanding of the site's complex history through the various monuments that have been placed at the memorial over time, shaped by different ideologies and historical periods. We will visit places such as: - "Death Marches" Exhibition - Tower A: Security measures and punishments - Small Camp: Barracks 38 and 39 - Camp prison - Kitchen and laundry facilities - Soviet Monument from 1961 - Station Z - Infirmary and morgue
After visiting the camp, we will head to Potsdam. This city eventually became a royal residence, which brought much of the splendor we see today — palaces and gardens where royal families and their courts once ruled and strolled. We will explore the city alongside our guide and also enjoy some free time to discover it at our own pace.

It was interesting experience the guide had good knowledge and gave some useful information on the history of the camp. But to bebhonest naturally worth the money as you can just get a train ticket visit the camp for free and wonder around. We felt rushed and we missed on on some parts of the camp. You never got long enough to read all the interesting information and to view the photos. Overall I would give it a 3 out of 5.
An amazing tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable and made the emotional tour a fantastic experience!!
Rodrigo's explanation was spectacular! Very fun and everything explained to perfection. What other travelers should know is that they should bring lunch or have a very good breakfast because the lunch stop is not until approx. 3pm
Walid was a knowledge of historical facts.
Excellent tour-guide provided good knowledge and delivers with some dry wit, which is needed given the subject matter. Going to Potsdam is worth it but it is a shame that time is not built in to actually go inside the palace. Need to go back and spend a whole day there to be honest. Coach super clean and air conditioned.
Exceptionally good tour guide who was very knowledgeable and willing to take questions and show as much as possible
Felipe’s vast knowledge was exceptional. Every small detail was covered and the way the tour was delivered was perfect. It can be rushed, but that’s just how it is with tours. You just take it as it is. After this tour, I’ve learned so much that I never even heard of or read from any history books. Highly recommended.
Very informative tour, well organised, the tour guide Walid was well-informed, kind and answered all the questions.
Amazing tour guide! Friendly, knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole experience fun and memorable!
He was very knowledgeable about world events and how they affected the rise of Hitler. He answered everything the group asked about.
