Excellent private tour - Aaron was very knowledgeable and was able to set up a timeline of the politics at the time and provide a detailed summary of the evolution of history.

No better way to experience the Sachsenhausen Memorial - Exceptional opportunity to learn about the camps with a comprehensive backdrop of German history from pre-war to present. Aaron, our guide, is an avid German, military, and world historian. Couldn’t ask for a better guide and tour.

Perfect! - This was a perfect way to start our Holocaust journey. Aaron was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the camp. He taught us things we did not know as he discussed very difficult topics. I highly recommend him and this tour for those that really want to learn.

Awesome experience! - Aaron was amazing! He knows what he is talking about and this is why this activity was so interessing! He took his time to explain everything he knows about Sachsenhausen. The informations I learned from him was not heavy even if the WW2 history is a very large topic. He gave me some time alone to visit some parts of the concentration camp. I have no regret!

Best Guide ever - Aaron was very knowledgeable and passed on his wealth of knowledge to our two teenage children. He also went beyond the normal guide duties in showing us the best way back to our hotel.

Highly recommended - I highly recommend this experience as a private tour. My guide for the day was Paul, who was punctual, very knowledgeable on all aspects of the history relating to this tour, and was able to answer any question I had. The train trip out to the site was spent explaining the history and placing the events into context, which made the impact of visiting the site more meaningful. I recommend an early departure (I was picked up at 0830), meaning you get out to the site by about 1000 when there is hardly anybody else there. Note that there is about a 15-20 minute walk from the train station to Sachsenhausen, therefore I recommend dressing appropriately for the conditions on the day. We discovered when we got out there (no fault of the tour company) that all the buildings are closed on Monday’s during the winter months. It is, however, possible to see in through the windows to get a sense of what occurred. Despite this, we were able to wander freely around under Paul’s expert guidance. The whole tour took about five hours and I was returned back to my hotel. All in all, the tour was efficient, well organised and very informative.
