My friend and i did the free tour of the concentration camp at Sachsenhausen. There only ended up being 5 people in our group and the tour went for 5 hours. Our guide was highly knowlegable and explained many interesting things about the concentration camp that going by ourselves we would have missed. Coming back we had some complications with... More

We did the Third Reich walking tour with Maria and we had a fantastic day! She's very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject and took us off the beaten track to see sights that we wouldn't have seen on any other tour. We had a great time and really enjoyed it! Highly recommended. Thank you Maria :) More

We took the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp tour on September 11. We were lucky enough to get Dennis as our guide for the day. Right from the start, before the tour even began, he went out of his way to help people getting their train tickets. We knew right away he was articulate and helpful. The rest of the tour went...

On an impulse, we decided to do a last minute tour of the Kreuzberg neighborhood, with a focus on seeing the architecture, the changing demographics, learning about East and West Berlin communities, Turkish communities, and the leftist politics of the city. We started off at the abandoned Nazi airport. Denis gave a fascinating and passionate tour for me and my... More

That the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp tour is offered by Vive Berlin for free (but worthy of a very large tip) should speak to their dedication and philosophical approach to this necessary experience. I have been to the notorious Auschwitz Concentration Camp and numerous other Holocaust memorials and education sites, but this unquestionably tops every other of these experiences because the...

I hadn't heard of the Vive Berlin tour group prior but fate found me a flyer & I decided to catch one of Vive's guided walks of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Our guide Dennis, a native Berliner, really gave 100% & kept our group enthralled as he set the scene & described in vivid detail the lives/deaths of specific prisoners,... More

We spent two days with Dennis. We did a custom tour of Berlin including WW II, and Cold War sites on the first day, and went to Sachsenhausen on Day Two. We are seasoned travelers, and have used the services of private guides in Rome, Florence, and South America, among other places. We have never enjoyed a tour as much... More

We were sightseeing on our own in Berlin when we ran into Denis and other tour guides (Denis was giving them a lecture). He invited to join us on their tour for free! The tour was really interesting and informative, and the presentation very witty. We spent a great afternoon on this tour and during our next visit, we'll definitely... More

Dennis met us outside Balzac Cafe in Potsdamer Platz. He's a friendly, intelligent young man with a passion for history. Dennis had seamless timing and rich information from his introduction at the train station to Sachsenhausen to the advising our group of directions when the tour ended. Although it appears Dennis gives this tour often, there is nothing stale about... More
