I must admit, I wasn't convinced about this visit. I knew I would regret not going, but I wasn't sure I would be able to deal with visiting such a place. However, I have no regrets. It was an experience I highly recommend. A reminder of the extents to which human kind can be terrifying. And what made this experience... More

What an experience this incredible tour was! My husband and I love history, but even for the most uninterested, this tour would fascinate all. We were in disbelief the whole time and it was amazing to tour such a facility that really is part of our worlds modern history. A very worthwhile experience. The Mosiac tour is the best value...

on a very cold, snow covered day, we went on the mosaic trip to the concentration camp. we joined our guide by the big tower, we purchased a train ticket prior to this , as it is not included in the cost of the tour. The trip to get to the camp took 40 mins by train, our guided was... More

Kevin, our guide, was excellent. His enthusiasm and detailed knowledge was outstanding. Do not miss this tour. I could waffle on for ages about the content but it would be wasted here. Get to the meeting point early, buy your 'ABC' travel card (return) and a lunch snack in plenty of time from the Alexander Platz station. Meet under the... More

We had a fantastic tour, also with Ryan. I can't recommend him and the tour enough. Ryan was extremely knowledgeable, answering our many questions. Sachsenhausen is a somber place, and appropriately, Ryan led our tour with depth and sensitivity. I am grateful to him for guiding not only me but also my teens, helping them to absorb--if one ever can--that... More

Fantastic tour. Learnt a lot of new history and facts. Our tour guide made the trip as he was so passionate about what he was explaining. Well worth the donation. I would highly recommend getting a tour guide to show you around.

Excellent value and the apparently the only non-profit organisation to arrange tours to Sachsenhaussen. If you're doing this tour anyway, just go with Mosaic Tours, you won't regret it. The Irish guide that I went with knew his history allright and he was very passionate about telling the story as it was without camouflaging any of the horror that happened... More

Visited the concentration camp with Mosaic tours who met the group in Berlin. The tour cost 15 euro for the English guide who was very good at describing the experience of the prisoners. Only a small fraction of the site remains so a guide was almost essential. The tour lasted about 3 hours at the camp which is primarily outdoors... More

Sachsenhausen concentration camp is a impactful experience that must be seen in Berlin. Words cannot describe the experience. 20 minute walk from Oranienburg train station. Bus also available. Tours not available Monday, but audio guide still enabled a memorable experience.

Such a heart-breaking site. Ive been to Mathausen camp in Austria and this was just as amazing, just less confronting as they had turned this into a memorial site. the stories and exhibits were well presented and definitely did the memory of those that suffered and passed justice. For those history nuts, this is a thumbs up, just bring the... More
