I had Walid as my tour guide and he was amazing. He was very helpful and knowledgeable about everything we saw on the tour. The camp is a very difficult place to visit but rich with history. Having a great tour guide not only allowed me to fully understand the significance of the camp in World War II, but Walid made sure to explain the history and significance after war as well. Tour starts in Berlin and the tour guide takes the transit with you to the camp because it's a bit far. I really enjoyed how Walid was always giving us historical facts and context leading up to seeing the camp, as it helped with fully comprehending the camp's importance. Inside the camp is a bit eerie but fascinating to see. They removed most of the barracks to show people how large the camp actually was, but There are still a lot of structures standing and museums inside that are worth looking at. After the tour was done, Walid was helping all members get to their next destinations, whether they be back at the origin place or a different stop. Overall, really great tour especially with a guide, and recommend to see if you're in Berlin.

The guide was amazing. We had train issues right off the start. He simply found us another way. He was super knowledgeable, told us so many things we didn't know and explained so much of what happened. He was super friendly And chatted with everyone.

Meet your tour guide and start your journey back in time as you make your way to Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum in Oranienburg. Over 200,000 people lived here - as prisoners - in Sachsenhausen between 1936 and 1945. Initially, the prisoners consisted of political opponents of the Nazi regime. Over time, the list of inhabitants went on to include people who were racially or biologically inferior as deemed by the National Socialists. Tens of thousands of people died here from starvation, disease, and/or mistreatment. Several were victims of extermination by the Schutzstaffel or the SS.

The death of the prisoners amounted to thousands more when the "death marches" took place after the evacuation of the camp in 1945. This was when 3,000 diseased prisoners, along with doctors and nurses who stayed behind in the camp, were rescued by Soviet and Polish soldiers. Your tour here includes a visit to the punishment cells, the gallows, and the gas chambers. You'll also get to see the burial pits inside the prison and listen to stories of bravery featuring the prisoners. Discover what chilling atrocities took place in the camp, which now serves as a national memorial dedicated to the prisoners who lived and died here.
