About this activity

Meet your guide just outside the main entrance of the TV Tower in Alexanderplatz. From there we take the public train to Oranienburg and walk to the nearby Sachsenhausen. On the tour you'll see the main entry area, Tower "A" with the infamous sign "Arbeit Macht Frei". From there we'll visit the roll-call area, the Jewish Barracks, and the former prison before visiting Station Z, which housed the camp's gas chamber and crematorium.

You will also explore the pathology and infirmary areas, the reinforced perimeter fences and towers, as well as see how the Soviets further used the camp after defeating the Nazis. You'll have plenty of time to ask questions and take photos. This tour will leave a powerful impression on all that visit.

This was a very interesting.thought provoking trip with a very knowledgable guide.My only complaint is that I would have loved to have spent more time reading all the literature and viewing the exhibits.

There were so many options for visiting Sachsenhausen. I am so happy we chose this one. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept the atmosphere of our time at the camp respectful as it definitely needed to be. It was shocking to see other visitors laughing and taking what I considered very inappropriate selfies. Our guide was very helpful and accommodating even on the train back to Berlin...giving good instructions for people who wanted to get off at earlier or later stops that were more convenient for their particular schedules. Note: WC accommodations were limited.

Our guide, Campbell, was very knowledgeable and full of historical facts and yet friendly and caring. He he gave us advance information on what to expect and what to look for at various points of the tour. At the end of the tour, he made sure everyone can find their way back to their next destination, be it back to their hotels or someplace else. He even gave us a restaurant recommendation since we wanted to go to one serving German food.
