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.

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!

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

Response from Host, Feb 2025

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."

Excellent guide with extensive historical knowledge. A great learning experience and thoroughly enjoyed the neighbor hood drives.

Great private tour of Potsdam and beyond plus great tour guide and driver.

Kishani_U, Jan 2023
We had a private tour for our family of four so the guide and driver took special attention to our own needs and interest. They went above and beyond to give us the history behind the spy bridge, Potsdam and added extra sightings of some architectural buildings as that was one of my husband's interests.

Wonderful tour, our guide was knowledgeable and great. I’d have like more time and a little input into how we managed the day. We walked the grounds of San soucci - interesting, but my wife would have preferred 30 minutes shopping in town. Rest was great.

Jim and Janet, Jun 2017
Full day customized to meet our interests. Guide Axel and the driver were knowledgeable, pleasant, and had everything under control. The walk across the Bridge of Spies was exciting as Axel included information about historic spy exchanges. Sanssouci Palace is beautiful and absolutely worth the time. I wish we'd had a little more time in Potsdam's Dutch Quarter, but we were running late because we spent so much time walking around the grounds at Sanssouci. Even the drives in and out of Berlin en route were interesting as we learned about the history of the autobuan. So glad we did the tour!
