Must see tour!
Wonderful tour! Great experience, amazing tour guide, so interesting and fun! So much history, only 45 minutes from Berlin but so much more. Loved the scenery, the history, the iced coffee and of course the German beer garden. Fantastic! Highly recommend.

Insightful Tour
Our private tour was perfect during the recent heatwave. Stefan and Sergio were very accommodating. Stefan was a knowledgeable guide who helped us navigate the many intricacies of recent and past German history.

Potsdam Private Tour
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!

Check to see that places are open before booking
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
Operator response
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."

Fantastic tour guide!
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

Great tour and guide

History and so much more!
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.
