Stefan our guide was very helpful on this full day tour of Potsdam and Sachsenhausen. He and the driver Joergen were friendly, punctual and extremely helpful to my partner who uses a cane for mobility. The information Stefan provided all along the way really helped us understand the history and significance of all the sites. While this private tour was not inexpensive it was a very good way for us to maximize our limited time in Berlin and its surroundings.
This tour was excellent value for money and our guide was very knowledgeable and professional, as well as being extremely friendly throughout. I would highly recommend this tour.
Stefan was very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting. Thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone interested in historical war sights
Stefan was really approachable and friendly. He provided clear descriptions of Sachsenhausen concentration camp, the background context, and post war events. He also included stories of key people throughout the tour that made the information more accessible and emphasised the tragedies that happened. Overall it was a very insightful learning experience!
Stefan, our guide, helped navigate us through the Sachsenhausen Memorial Museum but more than 2.5 hours’ time was needed to appreciate this historically significant site. We briskly went through most of the site’s buildings and exhibits and while we walked away with a solemn sense of the atrocities taken place at this site, we also wished for a sensible pace to view more of the carefully laid out displays. We overheard some interesting facts and historical events from the other tour guides too so it was good our small group of 6 was able to move about and hear those tidbits. The area with the remnants of cremation ovens was quite haunting. Worth every moment to tour this place and we highly recommend it. The Museum also offers group tours for consideraction.
Nous étions en compagnie de Steffi et Jurgen, deux guides passionnés et observateurs. Steffi sait, en toute simplicité, transmettre son enthousiasme pour l’histoire de sa région tandis que Jurgen agrémente la visite avec des anecdotes rendant la visite très agréable en adoucissent la dure réalité de l’histoire. We were accompanied by Steffi and Jürgen, two passionate guides and observers. Steffi knows how to convey her enthusiasm for the history of her country and her region in all simplicity, while Jürgen embellishes the visit with anecdotes that make the visit more enjoyable by softening the harsh reality of history.
Outstanding guide. Jim not only is extremely knowledgeable, tells facts and stories from personal experiences. Well worth every penny.
Axel was our tour guide and he was great; he was so knowledgeable and his English is fantastic. We highly recommend this tour, they were very professional.
Our tour guide was amazing! Very knowledgable about the concentration camp and the history of Berlin. I would highly recommend this tour!
We highly recommend this private tour, especially early in your visit. The minivan ride to and from Berlin provided added time to learn about Berlin and some German history from our guide and our driver. Our guide Markus was EXCELLENT! So knowledgeable. So committed to telling the story of Sachsenhausen. So inspiring to hear his concern for keeping Germany's horrifying past front and center in the minds of the world. Our twenty-something children were especially moved by the experience and Markus's information. We are also so grateful for his help in orienting us to Berlin for the rest of our visit.
