We had a very good guide. Het name was Rebecca. She explained everything very well and took the time to give as much as possible formation. She spoke very Clear and understandable. The trip on itself was very impressive. It was the first time for us to visit a memorial camp like this.

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.
