About this experience
Sachsenhausen was the first purpose-built concentration camp, created as a centre of terror, persecution, and systematic brutality. Initially, it imprisoned those the Nazi regime considered racially, socially, or politically undesirable. Travel through the town of Oranienburg and learn how the local community was connected to the camp. Your expert, licensed guide will lead you through key locations including the punishment cells, infirmary, barracks, gas chamber, and crematoria, while sharing powerful stories of resilience and courage among prisoners. The tour also visits the Inspectorate of Concentration Camps, the administrative centre that controlled the Nazi camp system across Europe. This is a fully guided and stress-free experience. Our guides will welcome and assist you at the meeting point in Berlin, accompany you throughout the day, and bring you comfortably back to the city centre at the conclusion of the tour. A €3 per person donation supports the Sachsenhausen Memorial.

Lots of standing and walking, be prepared!
Very informative guide in Ariel and appreciated the insight provided. Will caution, dress in comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking and standing

Over view of the concentration camp
We have visited this location and was pleased with Wills knowledge of the events and history of the attraction. Very clean and well preserved with a well present layout. Only point to make would be due to the length of the tour the time looking at and reading the information on the information boards was a little short. Excellent trip all in all.

Highly knowledgable guide (Will) brought this to life
Our tour guide Will really brought the experience to life. He was so knowledgable and delivered this in such a thought provoking way. I knew very little about the camp before I came and he was brilliant at explaining the circumstances in Germany and why it was formed. I highly recommend a tour with Will- he was an exceptional guide.

Sad but educational
We had a very educated guy named Ariel. He was a great guide and kept our tour of the property moving along. It was a huge area and he showed us the most important places. It’s a must you are in town.
Response from the operator: Thank you for this brilliant piece of feedback. It’s always wonderful when guests connect with the history we share. We’re delighted you enjoyed exploring the city alongside our guide, Ariel. Your support means a great deal to us. Thanks and all the best, Insider Tour

Important tour, do it.
Well done and thank you to Canadian Chris who guided us through this difficult experience. It must be tough doing something you know guests aren’t going to enjoy! Nobody wants to see this place of atrocity but I do think it’s important to visit, because, as Chris said, soon there won’t be any survivors left to tell their story, so we mustn’t let it be forgotten. Practicality-wise as long as you can walk ok you can do this tour. One or two steps here and there, for example into the train station (there is a lift if needed) and down to the toilets, but basically it’s an easy walk. Take a drink and a pastry or sandwich as the camp itself has no cafe, but there are plenty of places to get food at the train station. Highly recommended tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for such a brilliant review. We’re thrilled that the tour was a memorable part of your visit. Sharing Berlin’s incredible history with our guests is what we love doing. Hopefully we’ll have the pleasure of seeing you again someday. Thanks and all the best, Insider Tour

Why this scores 94
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Berlin: Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Tour in English: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Berlin.
How much does Berlin: Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Tour in English cost?
+
Prices start at $28 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Berlin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Berlin: Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Tour in English take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Berlin is not rushed.
Is Berlin: Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Tour in English worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 94 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 5,920 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Berlin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Berlin: Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Tour in English?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Berlin: Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Tour in English suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Berlin: Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Tour in English?
+
Around 2,072 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Berlin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Berlin and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Berlin: Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Tour in English start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Berlin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Berlin?
+
On Outty we rank every Berlin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Berlin's Best: 2 Hour Walking Tour Third Reich and the Cold War, Communist East Berlin and Berlin Wall Small Group Walking Tour, Sachsenhausen concentration camp.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Berlin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Berlin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
