While backpacking Western Europe with a friend for a month, we knew we wanted to see the Sachsenhausen Camp during our time in Berlin. There are several companies offering a tour of the camp and we admittedly chose this one because it was the only free/tips based tour. This ended up being our favourite tour of our entire trip (and... More

On a recent visit to Berlin I took the Vive Third Reich Tour. The reason I chose Vive was that the tour went to places the other companies don't, like the Olympic Stadium and Track 17. My guide for the day was Phillip. He was one of the best guides I have experienced. His knowledge and ability to explain the... More

Our recent cruise stopped at the port of Warnemunde, Germany and our party of three wanted to tour Berlin. The shore excursion trips offered by the cruise line did not cover all of our places of interest and the long drive of some 3 hours from the port to Berlin by bus was not attractive. I found a reference to... More

Our guide Dennis was most engaging and passionate. He never stopped giving detailed info be it the camp itself or German history, politics, society in general. If you are a traveler intending to learn you cannot find a more dedicated teacher.

We visited all the main tourist spots, with our tour guide 'Summer.' It started at the Potsdamn 10. Anyone can meet there at 10 AM for this tour. Highly recommended.

Did the free Sachsenhaussen tour with Alex last week. Wasn't expecting a whole lot out of a free tour but man was I wrong. The tour begins on the hour long train ride to the camp. Guide had photos and stories for our group leading up to arriving at the camp which set the stage for a much more personal... More

Thank you for the review. For us this tour is not like any other since it tries to shed light on Germany's darkest times. I am glad you enjoyed the way we present the German history and the history of the camp as well as our pacing of the tour itself. Best wishes from Berlin, Vive Berlin e.G. More

I was on the same tour as thomasofaus and completely endorse his review. I was visiting Berlin for the first time with my wife and 4 children. We wanted to fit in as much as possible, including a visit to Sachsenhausen. Our guide from a different company didn't show up so we ended up tagging onto Dennis's party. He speaks... More

Hello ADBS65, thanks a lot for your kind words. I am very glad you and your family found your way to our tour, it was a great day we spend together.

My wife and I turned up at the meeting point for the Sachsenhausen concentration camp tour and ended up as the only 2 on the English tour. There were heaps of people for the Spanish one. We were greeted by Dennis who is a true Berliner. He was really professional and spoke fluent English, and also really passionate about history... More

Hello Andre L, thank you very much for your review. It happens from time to time that only a small number of people show up for our tours since we're still a young company. But for me it never makes a difference how many people show up, if someone wants to know more about this chapter of the German history,... More

We did the Sachsenhausen tour with Dennis, and we must say it was excellent. The content was depressing, as expected, but Dennis took us on a journey from the beginnings of WWI on the train heading to Sachsenhausen, framing the expansion of the brutal Nazi regime and narrated in great detail life in the camp, following the lives of two...

Hello thomasofaus, thanks a lot for your enthusiastic review. I am glad I could help shed light on the German history and the events that led to the Holocaust. I am always especially glad when I am called a great storyteller, because for me telling history can only be done properly by telling stories of real persons and their experiences.... More
