Highly Recommend - Excellent tour! Steve was a knowledgable and sensitive guide to lead our group in learning more about the history of Sachsenhausen and the role of concentration camps in the Nazi regime. Touring a concentration camp is a difficult and emotional experience, but Steve was factual about the history and daily life in the camp as well as insightful about lessons to take away. For this reason, a tour of Sachsenhausen continues to be relevant to current and future generations. We also appreciated that he helped the group with transportation to and from the memorial. Thank you Steve!

Excellent tour guide. ... - Excellent tour guide.
The tour needs to post that walking up to a mile to get to the concentration camp is expected. Elder people, had a hard time walking this distance and keeping up with the group.

The best tour one can ask for - The guide, Steve the math teacher, was an absolute gem of a guide. Knowledgeable up to the rafters, engaging and keen, I couldn't have asked for a brilliant guide at such a dark place. Warmly recommended!

The World's BEST Tour Guide! - I am 72 and have traveled extensively. I have never, EVER had a better tour guide- ROSHANA!!!!!!! She is not only an absolute genius but also provides a THREE-dimensional experience, not just the facts. She delves very deeply into the reasons why things happened and into the minds of the Nazis, particularly Hitler and Himmler and Romel, etc. There is no way we can adequately describe Roshana's talent and abilities. THE VERY BEST EVER!!!!!

Incredible WWII history tour - I’m a huge WWII history buff! Despite the heavy feelings and the absolute heartbreak and misery that happened here, it was truly amazing. It teaches you how bad humans can be if left unchecked & when people are angry and desperate!

Tour of Sachsenhausen - We did a tour with Walid to Sachsenhausen, and he was able to provide very detailed info while we were on the tour with him. Next time I am in Berlin I will look to do a walking tour with Walid.

Must go visit in Berlin - Really interesting tour, its really important to revisit history even though its such tragic events like the ones that happened in concentration camps. Our Scottish guide was 10/10, he had really good knowledge about all the history of the site.
