What are people saying about Sanssouci Palace

Potsdam Tour from Berlin With Guided Sanssouci Palace Visit

Michael_H, Jun 2026

Go rococo

Sanssouci Palace is an excellent example of 18th century excess, with fantastically preserved rococo details. If you’ve been on any (or many) of the obligatory European palace tours, you’ll appreciate that Sanssouci is small: just 11 rooms that you can cover in half an hour. The rest of the Potsdam tour is just ok, with brief views of forests, lakes and the Bridge of Spies. Our guide was authoritative and helped make the quotidian parts of the tour more interesting.

Informative Potsdam tour

It was a v good day out with a lovely local guide, Jasmine, who was v informative and definitely knew her history. Also loved receiving questions. However, I would have liked to have visited one other building, whether a palace, tea room, etc and/or perhaps a short stop in Potsdam itself for a photo opportunity of which there were several possibilities. Otherwise, a v enjoyable and relaxing day which I’m v pleased I went on.

Great out of city experience

A good break from the city into Potsdam , area filled with old kings and too modern history. Enjoyed the visit although experience would have been better if roads weren’t closed for a major cycling event. Perhaps to recommend not to do this on Sundays where typically major events are organized
