Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Seth met us at our hotel in Berlin and took us all the way to the camp and back. We were a family of 6 with 2 grandchildren, 2 parents and 2 grandparents. Seth set a pace that worked for all of us and helped us all understand what we were seeing. He was knowledgeable about the whole camp system and that helped us gain a broader perspective. He adjusted timing when it rained and made sure we had time for a quick lunch before boarding the train back to Berlin. He saw us all the way to the hotel before departing. He met all our expectations and we all were glad we went. Lastly, as a Texan living in Germany, he spoke perfect English. "
"Chris was a very friendly and entertaining guide. He was cleary passionate and had endless knowledge about the history of the camp and even more anecdotes. His way of explaining made history come alive. We learned a lot and had a nice day! "
"Pietro was wonderful! He made our tour well informed and truly memorable. We would definitely book again with him. Visiting the camp is really sobering and Pietro was such a Professional. Thank you!"

Journey into one of history's most sobering chapters on a private Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp tour. With a local guide, you'll gain a respectful and profound understanding of this memorial's past.
Established in 1936, Sachsenhausen was a key concentration camp in Nazi Germany. Designed as a 'model' camp, its triangular layout was meant to represent absolute power. Learn its dark history with a guide.
The camp's unique architecture, a perfect triangle, was designed for total surveillance from a single guard tower. A chilling example of how design can be used for oppression and control.
Theologian Martin Niemöller, known for his powerful poem 'First they came...', was held at Sachsenhausen. His and other prisoners' stories of resistance and survival are essential parts of the visit.
After its liberation in 1945, the Soviets used parts of Sachsenhausen as a special camp until 1950. A private tour can help unravel the complex layers of this site's post-war history.
Today, the Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum serves as a place of remembrance and education. Visiting with a local guide provides context and personal insight into this solemn and important historical site.

"Although few remnants of the camp still remain, there is still a sense of horror by the details of the camp that are still present today, such as the tall walls, barbed wire, detention centre (which still has hanging poles, prison cells and a pit), and also checkpoint Z. The tour was very informative many thanks to our guide Lynsey, who did a brilliant job in explaining in depth everything that went on within the camp and all the events that led to its creation. Well worth the trip if you want to gain an authentic sense of what happened prior and during WW2."
"When our group booked, we had a plan that if it wasn’t great we would leave and go off and do our own thing... This was quickly abandoned when we met Canadian Chris! He clearly loves his job and is so passionate about history that he makes the whole experience interesting and engaging from the very beginning! The tour lasts about 3 hours but is set at a good pace and takes you to lots of Berlin’s famous sites. It’s packed full of information, facts and trivia and was honestly a fantastic way to see the City and to learn about the Country’s epic history! If you’re looking for the best way to experience Berlin I would seriously recommend trying to get on Canadian Chris’s tour. He is a credit to the Sandemans company and is definitely the best guide in Berlin! His love of the City is infectious and we had the most amazing time! In fact we thought he was so good that we’ve set up our own ‘Canadian Chris Appreciation Society’ FB page for fans of the tour to share recommendations and reviews!"
"Pietro provided a great tour and historical background for our day at Sachsenhausen. His passion for his craft, and his respect for this memorial site and it’s victims, made for an awesome experience in learning more about this dark time in history. Highly recommend. "
"Chris was very interesting and fun and never ran out of little facts and tips around the city. His tour was well detailed and covered the main parts of Berlin around us. It was great to have a person who knew and loved the city as much as he did- I would Recommend! "
"Chris was great! He was really knowledgeable and having a private tour with a local made the experience amazing. "
"To put it bluntly, Chris was f***ing awesome! Punctual, friendly, funny, with an endless bounty of interesting information and stories about the region's history. Extremely knowledgeable and despite barraging him with questions, he always gave insightful and thoughtful answers. Taking the tour of Sachsenhausen with Chris gave us the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the culture of the era and how it led to the events and atrocities that unfolded. Thank you so much for giving us such an enriching and amazing experience Chris! "
