Summary:
Anastasia was a great tour guide, gave precise explanations, kept us on schedule, planned well for the breaks, avoiding rain, and catching a bus. She was great at finding alternative travel routes when our train stopped on the way back. Her explanations were just right length and with right number of details, not too much and not too little. Highly recommended her.

Summary:
Beny was an extremely thoughtful guide in how he led us through very difficult subject matter. He made sure we were as physically comfortable as possible while also guiding us through this memorial with respect. He brought a lot of insight into how such atrocities came to be in Nazi, Germany, and the echoes they have around us today. I left the tour with a lot to digest. I would recommend taking this tour. It’s not easy to witness, but it feels like crucial context for how we handle our current world challenges.
