Hi, I wanted to say that we had a tour of Potsdam yesterday with Stefan and it was wonderful. Stefan is very pleasant and knowledgeable and he really made the tour enjoyable. We hit all of the major highlights of Potsdam and he showed us a wonderful place for lunch. He’s an excellent tour guide!
An enjoyable tour. The van was clean and comfortable. Our guide Stefan is knowledgeable and friendly. Potsdam is very beautiful. Highly recommended.
I believe that this tour would be good on any day but Monday where most places were closed. Ended up mostly a van tour. Tour guide was young and still learning. Very nice but needs more experience
Dear Tonya, the information that Sanssouci Palace is closed on Monday is given twice (!) in the tour description. The guide is young, but well experienced. However, he felt that too long walks may have been too stressful for some members of the group. Shortly after your tour a customer wrote on Google: "Tankred was very friendly, informative and full of knowledge about history/local area."
A nice getaway from the busy Berlin. We had Stephan as our guide. Speaks good English and we have learned a lot about Berlin and Potsdam. Having shown us the various maps and photos helped us understand more about the history of cities. We are very grateful for his effort and knowledge
Excellent guide with extensive historical knowledge. A great learning experience and thoroughly enjoyed the neighbor hood drives.
Stefan was very engaging and knowledgeable. We Highly recommend this tour. Went at a great pace and was overall very enjoyable.
We had a great day. It was both enjoyable and very informative. Our guide Stefan was very knowledgeable and he adapted the tour to suit our interests, for example making time to go inside the Schloss Cecilienhof where the 1945 Potsdam Conference was held, and having a delicious relaxed lunch in the Dutch Quarter. We chose this trip because of the WW2 and Cold War history but it delivered so much more. It was really worthwhile.
We had a private tour for our family of four so the guide and driver took special attention to our own needs and interest. They went above and beyond to give us the history behind the spy bridge, Potsdam and added extra sightings of some architectural buildings as that was one of my husband's interests.
Stephan was very knowledgeable and personable. We had a perfect day out to Potsdam. There was so much to see and Stephan managed our limited efficiently to maximize what we were able to see. Thanks very much Stephan.
Zenaida exceeded our expectations with a well organised and most comfortable trip to Potsdam. We both felt we returned significantly more knowledgeable than we had anticipated. Zenaida was passionate about her subject matter which was reflected in her concise explanations and answers to our many questions. We thoroughly enjoyed her company and would highly recommend her services to future travellers.
