Emma was great! The tour is informative and even being quite a student of Holocaust history, I learned things at Sachsenhausen that I didn’t know.

We just had a tour with Emma, and she was absolutely fantastic. She spent the entire coach journey sharing fascinating stories and facts, kept the tour running perfectly on time at the concentration camp, and explained everything clearly. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and easily the best tour guide I’ve ever had.

This tour is not for everyone, but it's important to understand what waa happening in Germany under the Nazi reign so it can never happen again. Our guide, Mikael, was knowledge and informative, and he was able to explain a difficult subjext that made it meaningful and impactful. This is a must do tour if you want to experience what life was like in a concentration camp during WWII. I would highly recommend this tour!

Informative tour with Mikhael, highly recommend if you have the time. The only issue was there wasn’t enough time to see and read everything.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our guide Mikael during our visit to the concentration camp. From the very beginning, he was incredibly kind, attentive, and respectful, making sure that everyone felt comfortable throughout the entire tour. Mikael has an impressive depth of knowledge not only about the historical facts and events related to the site, but also about the broader political and social context that shaped that period. The way he connected history, human stories, and the lessons we can take from the past made the experience truly meaningful and unforgettable. It’s not easy to lead a visit to a place with such heavy history, but Mikael did it with so much empathy, sensitivity, and professionalism. He managed to balance the emotional weight of the site with clear explanations and insightful reflections that helped us understand and process everything we saw. We left the tour feeling deeply moved, informed, and grateful for having had such a knowledgeable and compassionate guide. Thank you, Mikael, for sharing your wisdom and for giving us such a powerful and respectful experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide highly recommended!
