    About this experience

    Berlin Sachsenhausen Tour: Join us for a one of kind tour event on an in-depth one of a kind visit to Sachsenhausen! This is the Birchy’s Berlin’s Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial Tour. Concentration camps were a key instrument in the Nazis regime of terror, and the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp was unique. The camp was the first purpose-built concentration camp within the Third Reich and the closest one to Berlin. It is also one of the most visited World War Two concentration camps in the world. This tour is a complete visit to the memorial camp. The tour starts in Berlin City Center, where you will meet your guide, Aaron. After that we take a short train ride out to the Sachsenhausen Camp Memorial. Aaron has held an Official Certified Sachsenhausen Tour Guide License for many years and has partaken in numerous courses as well as trained other Berlin Guides. His experience and one of a kind historical knowledge of Sachsenhausen makes this tour like no other!  Join Birchy or one of our expert guides on a public tour as we head to the north of Berlin and visit what was the closest concentration camp to the capital of the Third Reich, The Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. We will look at the way the concentration camps system developed from ad-hoc prisons into purpose-built facilities and look at the multitude of functions, crimes, experimentation, murder and mass murder that occurred within (and sometimes beyond) the confines of the camp from the summer of 1936 - until its liberation in late April 1945. We will look at the changing prisoner demographic in the lead up to and into the Second World,

    Professional Tour!

    Our day tour to Sachsenhausen was incredibly moving in large part thanks to our wonderful guide Cairan. He delivered a detailed account of the history and horrors that are memorialized at the camp. Due to the small group nature of our tour, we felt as though we got a much more personal tour. Cairnan helped immensely in offering context and details to better comprehend a difficult history. We strongly recommend anyone take this tour through Birchys if they are considering it. I should add, Cairan helped everyone figure out their transit home and was incredibly accomadating for any food/bathroom pit stops.

    Must do tour!

    Would highly recommend this tour! We had Paul as our guide and he was extremely knowledgeable about not only Sachsenhausen camp and WWII but around all history of Berlin and Europe. I learnt a lot and Paul had detailed answers to everyone’s questions. This is a must do tour when visiting Berlin!!

    A great experience with a great guide

    Paul was a great guide, he really was knowledgeable about all the sites we went too and over all the experience was great, the meeting point was easy to get to and getting to sachsenhausen was also stress free thanks to Paul. Cannot recommend enough!

    Please take the time to do this tour

    Our tour was definitely made by having Paul as our guide. He has so much knowledge and shares it in a way that is clear, understandable and doesn’t avoid the tough/sad/heat breaking details. The day was bitterly cold but the time on the train and at the Memorial flew by. Highly recommend this tour - it added so much to (what we thought) was an already decent knowledge base.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words and for braving the Berlin winter. I’m really glad the experience added to what was already a strong knowledge base. Cold days at the Memorial can be especially powerful sometimes; the atmosphere adds something that words and photos cannot. Thanks again for the review, and I hope the rest of your Berlin trip was memorable as well!

    The Memorial Tour: Visit to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp (licensed guide): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Berlin.

    How much does The Memorial Tour: Visit to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp (licensed guide) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 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 The Memorial Tour: Visit to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp (licensed guide) take?

    +

    Plan for about 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 The Memorial Tour: Visit to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp (licensed guide) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 100 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Berlin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Memorial Tour: Visit to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp (licensed guide)?

    +

    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 The Memorial Tour: Visit to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp (licensed guide) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Memorial Tour: Visit to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp (licensed guide)?

    +

    Around 35 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Memorial Tour: Visit to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp (licensed guide) 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.
