Potsdam/Sans Souci tour

We enjoyed our tour to Sans Souci with Yasmin. On the ride to the palace she shared the history of the area including some Berlin history, Prussian history, Wannsee and Potsdam itself. Yazmin was knowledgeable, held your interest and was very funny. We toured Sans Souci and the gardens then returned to Berlin. Yazmin had suggestions for us for lunch or a drink after we got back to Berlin. All in all a good day.

The Wonders of Potsdam: Architectural, Cultural and Historical

This was an excellent visit to Potsdam with a wonderful guide, Susan. She imparted all kinds of fascinating information without overwhelming the participants. I would only suggest that the tour be lengthened by one hour in order to allow time to get some lunch at a cafe in Potsdam - arriving back in Berlin at 2:00 without having had lunch was less than ideal. But that is really a minor quibble and I would strongly recomment this tour.
