Sachsenhausen tour is very educational and emotional as everybody can surely imagine. But it is actually the tour guide who transformers you from the present to the past and makes this place of terror really authentic. Our guide Chris - Canadian young gentleman - has delivered an exceptional experience ( One of the few top quality guided tours we attended in Berlin). Firstly, we learnt significantly more than we expected and it was clear that we could continue for endless hours to learn more and more. Secondly, Chris's passion for history and passing it onto next generation is simply admirable and also contagious! Lastly, Chris's humour also greatly contributed to a fabulous memorable tour. Definitely recommend for everybody visiting Berlin! I would actually say it is a 'Must do' that helps you to see a human being and life from different perspective! Thank you so much!

Suzanna was an incredible tour guide - I genuinely thought she had worked in administration at the Charité she was so knowledgable. She took us through the entire history, focusing on famous medical professionals (if you've watched Charité on Netflix you'd know) and always provided interesting and fair historical context. The tour was in German but very understandable for a non-native speaker. Full of jokes and reality, she makes the entire 2 hours fascinating.

We had just taken the Charité tour on Friday so when we strolled up for this one and saw the same tour guide, we knew we were in for another treat. Susanne is such a dynamic presenter and it's crazy how much information she knows and delivers. This is one of the coolest parts of the city so a little behind-the-scenes is worth seeing!

Interesting seeing Berlin from a different perspective! Makes you look at graffiti/street art in a different light.

Fantastic tour with guide Mickhail , very knowledgable and helpful .
