Our tour guide Martin was fantastic- he was very knowledgeable and super friendly!! He customized the tour to our needs and preferences and did not try to pack too many places in the time we had. It was a very leisurely tour and informative at the same time. Highly recommend both this tour and Martin and the guide!!
Seth was an excellent guide. We thoroughly enjoyed his knowledge, courtesy, efficiency and sense of humor. Thank you very much!
Betty did a very good job of getting us to various points in Potsdam. Her knowledge of the area was very good and her history again very good. There was a lot of walking on the tour and so that surprised me as I knew there was some walking but not to the amount we did. That is not Betty’s fault however since I am mobility challenged it was a bother for me. Again this is not Betty… but for the cost of the day per person we have had a private driver in other cities who took us to all points by car
San Souci palace was the highlight. However unfortunately we got a late start as we missed the direct train because our guide had to purchase tickets resulting in poor time slots for the 2 palaces. This delayed us by over an hours overall and thus missed other items on our itinerary.

This was an excellent adventure to Postdam. Our tour guide, Miha, was very helpful and informative. He was also flexible and customized our tour based on what we wanted to see. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent guide. Went abole and beyond to help us. Extremely knowledgeable and efficient. I never make recomendations but in this case if you have the chance book your tour with the guide Miha
Michele is a fantastic tour guide! She is very knowledgeable about Potsdam and was very flexible to our needs so the tour was tailored for us. We laughed and learned and had a great day visiting this beautiful and unique city with Michele.
We spent four plus hours with Betty, who was irreverent AND very knowledgeable - quite fun! A good overview of the role of Frederick the Great in German history.
our review: We were extremely happy to have the opportunity to meet Miya and spend two days with him in and around Berlin and Potsdam. He tailored our tours exactly as we requested and made the best use of our limited time He is a pleasure to be with so we highly recommend him as a private guide.
Whit is very congenial, flexible and knowledgeable about the area as well as about the history, art and architecture of Potsdam. He loves to share his ideas and experiences on any subject, not just about Potsdam and its kings and castles. We also enjoyed a lovely stroll through the mature gardens of the Sans Souci Palace and a very pleasant walk through the central area of Potsdam. Along the way, we learned many historical facts about Peter the Great and his exploits. A very worthwhile excursion. Thanks Whit!
