Touching experience!

The guided tour of the concentration camp was very interesting and obviously sad for the events that took place. It makes you think a lot! All explained in the best way by our experienced and competent guide Fabio Nigro. Thanks Fabio also for the advice on restaurants off the beaten track and which we tried the same evening! If you go to Berlin, the guided tour in Sachsenhausen is a must!

Experiencia única, pudimos conocer toda la historia del campo gracias al trabajo de nuestro guía Carlos de Ávila. Además de realizar una breve introducción histórica y explicarnos todo sobre Sachsenhausen, nos recomendó lugares que visitar y sitios donde comer. El único pero que le pongo a la visita es no poder disfrutar de más tiempo para poder realizar fotografías y darte cuenta del lugar en el que estás. Gran trabajo de Carlos de Ávila.

It was freezing abd the guide kept on talking outside even when it was not necessary. He could have spoken inside as the other guides. I left after a while because it was very cold
