Highly recommend this tour. Maria was our guide and she is so knowledgeable and relays all the information so well. I learnt more from her than any other thing I’ve done in Berlin, it is a relatively short tour but was adequate time to see much of the camp. The bus ride was in a lovely new coach and was very relaxing. I definitely recommend this tour. Especially if it’s with Maria.
Our guide Dani did a super job, he knew a lot about the subject, and the tour in general was good. IMPORTANT: They say they drop you back off at the same starting point, however, this is a lie. They give you a \"time\" to walk around on your own at the end at the concentration camp, knowing that 30 minutes is not enough to see even 1/4th of it. The guide leaves and leaves you there on your own and you have to find a way to get back on your own. He didn't even tell us how to get back to Berlin, thank the universe for Google Maps, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to make it.
Buenos días Mariela Muchas gracias por compartir vuestra experiencia y por valorar tan positivamente el trabajo de Dani, así como sus conocimientos durante el tour. Lamentamos que la parte final de la visita haya podido generar confusión o incomodidad. Nos gustaría aclarar, que al finalizar la visita el guía ofrece dos alternativas: regresar con él hasta el punto de partida, o bien disponer de un tiempo adicional para continuar visitando el campo de concentración por cuenta propia y regresar posteriormente de forma independiente. De hecho, durante este mismo tour, Dani regresó a Berlín acompañando a parte del grupo que optó por la primera alternativa. Entendemos, no obstante, que si esta información no se percibió con suficiente claridad, la experiencia pudiera resultar desconcertante. Por ello, agradecemos sinceramente vuestro comentario y revisaremos la forma en la que comunicamos estas opciones al finalizar la visita, con el objetivo de que todos nuestros viajeros tengan la información necesaria y puedan elegir la opción que prefieran con total tranquilidad. Gracias de nuevo por vuestra valoración y por ayudarnos a seguir mejorando.
Our guide, Richard, was so knowledgeable and made it a very memorable experience. I was traveling solo and he made the group feel very comfortable, getting to know us as well.
It’s definitely one of the most educational experiences I’ve had yet! Ismael was our guide, just amazing! We got lost on our way to the meeting point because of transport that didn’t work and Alva helped us connect with the grupo. I would definitely repeat this!
Spectacular! Felipe, you are an expert on the subject! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us with charisma and passion! Very happy with the tour!
This is an intense experience that people must have. Imagining what would have happened around those times can be overwhelming and numbing. Our tour guide Beny was informative and objective about the story and the place ! He was good at what he was doing It’s an experience which is humbling and unmissable.
We went on this tour and were delighted. Our guide was Vicent and she was wonderful. It turned out that that day they were just detonating a World War II bomb, a fact that, she told us, happened often, but that day they did not notify anyone in advance, so we were lucky to arrive at the town to start the visit to the concentration camp, since shortly after they cut off public transport. The visit went wonderfully and Vicent kept us hooked on her explanations the whole time, with extraordinary oratorical skill. Then, to return to Berlin, because of the transport cuts, we had to take replacement buses and Vicent made sure that each of us arrived at our next point as soon as possible and safely. A 10/10 for Vicent.
Fabulous guide and a very nice experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted you had such a wonderful experience and enjoyed the tour with your guide. We hope to see you again soon!
Allow for the travel time for your days plans as well as the time for the tour, especially if you wanted to stay on and look around the camp more. Pete was a very informative guide giving us lots of interesting side bits of information as we made our journey to and around the camp.
Highly recommended tour ,Our guide Richard was so knowledgeable while guiding us round the memorial in a respectful way .His presentation was measured and inclusive and gave us a real feel for what had happened .Thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would recommend it
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a meaningful experience with Richard. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are so pleased that you thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We hope to welcome you again in the future!
