Great tour. Very well organized and executed by Susan and Tomas. Susan (our guide) was very knowledgeable and was with us throughout the tour enhancing our experience.
William_D, Jul 2026
Taking this tour will increase your knowledge immensely. Great tour guide and she was incredibly aware of everyone’s needs.
Lopa_P, Jul 2026
Good tour. Suzsanna and Mattie were very good and Susanna is very knowledgeable. I think the Sans Souci Palace visit should include a visit to the paintings gallery and there should be a stop off in Potsdam Town to see the Dutch style houses but otherwise a good tour overall.

I went on this tour solo on July 9th and had a great time. Tour guide, Susan, was incredible and a wealth of knowledge on large variety of subjects which made the trip extra entertaining. I have done many of these types of tours over the years and I can confidently say that Susan was the best guide I have ever had. Highly recommend!

There is some walking and if you go to the bottom of the garden then there are a lot of steps to climb back up but worthwhile

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.

If it’s a hot day the bus will not be a refuge, it was incredibly hot.
They didn’t stop in the town hall area which was worthy of a stop.
Jesse_W, Jun 2026

Highly knowledgeable guid and very pretty views. I recommend going either really early or as the sun is going down for a nice night view
Mignon_D, Jun 2026
Tour guide Jasmin was very nice and knowledgeable had a great experience. Thank you had a great time with family
Unni_S, Jun 2026
It was absolutely amazing. Our guide Jasmine was so knowledgeable and switched from fluid English to German effortlessly
Tracey_B, Jun 2026
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.
William_G, Jun 2026
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
selena_G, Jun 2026
Great experience! Karen is so friendly and knowledgeable! I learned so much from her and had a great time!
Sonja_G, May 2026
Very elegant boat, we were the 3rd and 4th in line so got to sit up front on the little roof in front (but unfortunately right next to the rather strong loudspeakers). Recorded narration in English and German.
Worth the price.

I had thought of making my own way to Sanssouci but decided to take this trip as everything was organised for a visitor. It was long enough to get a sense of the opulence of Frederick’s summer retreat. Yasmin was a helpful and knowledge guide giving us lots of information about Berlin’s history as we made our way to and back from the palace. We also stopped at the Bridge of Spies on the way.
We had audio guides for the palace then got an overview of the gardens and vineyards with Yasmin. I thought it was long enough to see everything and good value and would defiantly recommend it.
Deborah_M, May 2026
Having a knowledgeable friendly guide provided historical information that really added to the experience
YungYi_C, May 2026
Absolutely brilliant tour. The itinerary is so well planned that the four hours fly by without ever feeling rushed. Our tour guide Yasmin is outstanding — funny, engaging, and perfectly timed in her delivery. Her explanations hit exactly the right depth: enough detail to feel enriched without ever becoming overwhelming. The coverage is impressively broad for a half‑day excursion. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a smart, well‑paced, and genuinely enjoyable experience.
HK_M, May 2026
Our tour guide had excellent knowledge of the interesting things to see and great general history on the way to SAN SOUCCI
Rafael_D, May 2026
Excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and nice. Quick tour to Sanssouci palace and back, not much free time. Recommended if you just want to see Sanssouci palace.
Andrey_B, May 2026
It s very boring and way longer that would need to be. There is no stops in the city and there are several languages in the bus.
clive_w, May 2026
Well organized with a driver and guide who were first class. Beautiful rooms and gardens in extensive property.
jonesflag, May 2026
Only 30 minutes or so out of Berlin with its WWII history is a visit to Posdam with the beautiful palace of Prussian rulers. The palace is beautiful, the gardens amazing and the stories and history added to my appreciation of Germany’s history which is far more complex than the Hitler era.
Diana_C, May 2026
Excellent, knowledgeable tour guide- very comprehensive tour. Enjoyable!! Would highly recommend if you’re interested in visiting Potsdam and the Sans Souci palace and it’s history.
Rebecca_M, May 2026
Sue Arns and Driver John were fabulous. Very informative tour, so much insight and information. I wish we had had more time in Potsdam. Beautiful area.
Inna_R, May 2026
Our guide Susan was great! She’s been doing it for many years and included her personal experience in her explanations. Germany has a very complex history, and Susan did a wonderful job explaining it. 👍👍👍
