Tour Description

As a fully licensed tour guide, I offer comprehensive tours around Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp – one of the most important concentration camps from the Nazi regime. On this experience you will learn about the role Sachsenhausen played in supporting the Nazi regime, explore the grounds and gain essential insights into WWII and the Holocaust.

During the tour, I’ll take you through the different parts of the concentration camp, talking you through the daily routines of the prisoners, who was imprisoned there, the types of labour carried out, and the significance of the camp in the wider regime. You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of the concentration camp system, and of Sachsenhausen in particular. 

The tour starts in central Berlin by Madame Tussauds, from where I’ll take you to the camp via train. At the end of the tour, you can return to Berlin with me or stay on to explore more exhibitions at the memorial.

Would you rather travel to the camp by private car or bus? Simply get in touch!
