We were captivated by the lush greenery and beautifully manicured landscapes and stories about the various buildings which date back to the 18th and 19th centuries.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted that the stunning landscapes and rich history of the buildings captivated you. Exploring such well-preserved history is always a special experience!
The description of this tour is misrepresented online. You do not go into anything. You do not go into a palace (Cecilienhof Palace or the Sanssouci Palace) or where the Potsdam conference took place. The guide points out some of these places, others were not mentioned at all for example ‘Explore a secret town used by the Soviet Secret Service and the ruins of a KGB jail’ did not happen. Our guide was engaged, but was not an amazing historian, and disappointingly, we didn’t learn a lot. It is a lot of walking, over 20,000 steps. We had 45 minutes free time in Potsdam which covers both the lunch break and ‘ Discover the charming city of Potsdam’ and ‘explore the Dutch Quarter’. If you chose to stay on in Potsdam after the tour to visit one of the palaces in Sanssouci Park, you must book a timed entry ticket in advance as there is not much chance of being able to get one when the tour ends.
