Great trip to see and hear about some lovely buildings and German history linking them - very professional and fun!
This was an excellent day - our guide Reuben was incredibly knowledgeable, informative and humorous. We learned so much and saw some lovely palaces, also Potsdam itself. If you book a guide and driver like this, make sure you book Sansouci or anywhere else en route before you go - we'd booked separately and the queues were big so a skip the line ticket is a must in summer.
Our driver (Werner?) was excellent too. I'd highly recommend this tour - although pricey, it was worth every penny and a great experience 👍

A very enjoyable tour
Walid was a great guide, very friendly with lots of knowledge about German history. A very enjoyable tour. Sanssouci Palace is worth visiting even if you have to buy tickets separately as they are not included.

Patrick was fantastic and had great stories and was very funny. He showed us all of Potsdam and was very understanding when members of our group started to get tired. Always recommend their tour and Patrick.

A fantastic tour with a wonderful guide
This is an excellent tour. Our Tour-guide was Quincy. He was great. He's a kind, thoughtful person and was very accommodating for our family. The Potsdam tour was a nice change from the typical crowded mainstream tours. Potsdam is a beautiful city and even more-so right before Christmas. You do need to purchase your own entry tickets to the Sanssouci Palace (this is in the description, but I'm just echoing the notice). Very important... before you purchase your tickets, coordinate the timing of your entry with Viator and even better, with your tour guide. That way, everyone knows how the tour itinerary should flow. Thank you Quincy, for a fantastic tour!!
