I booked the tour for a later date by mistake and actually showed up the day prior. I was still allowed to swap at the last minute and included as it was my last day in Germany. I am grateful for the professionalism and flexibility from the tour operator. Also the tour guide was kind enough to translate for me as I was the only non German speaking attendee in the group. Overall a great experience and highly recommended.

Description of your tour very misleading. Description stated "with English audio". This only related to travel on the bus!! Once on foot going around grounds/palaces only had the German speaking guide. He was very enthusiastic but could not follow him in German. This vital point should have been made clear in the upfront description as it spoilt the experience for us.

Could have been an interesting tour. Unfortunately we paid for an English language, but got a tour for German speakers with occasional English segments. Our German guide had clearly memorized the English parts and was very good at repeating what she had memorized. That being said, the history and architecture of Potsdam are well worth exploring...

I visited Potsdam as part of a long weekend in Potsdam. Tour picked up and dropped us back by the train station. Tour visited three key sites in Potsdam though I would have liked to see the Bridge of spies for a bit longer. The tour was well catered for German speakers with a guide. However, English speakers were just given a folder with the very basic information of each site and left to fend for ourselves. On the bus, we had an automated guide, though other languages (e.g. spanish) didn't work. Potsdam is beautiful and worth visiting with plenty of history. However, this tour was a let down.

Fabulous trip back in time. Well worth the outing and a great change to the bustle of Berlin. Not only were the palaces amazing so was the town, quaint. Found the Dutch quarter tranquil and worth staying behind after the tour. I’m sure the summer with the gardens in full bloom and the statues out of their covers it will be absolutely stunning.

Really, 2 days is better than our one day trip. Maybe next time for the museums? Tour bus outside the train station takes you to the historical places and lets you out for a short tour. Quite magnificent really.

The tour time when booked through TripAdvisor was 11. So we were there just before 11. The web site said tour time was 11.15. But it didn’t leave til after 11.30. The bus was noisy- lots of rattles and the seats really small. And if you were in an aisle seat you could see very little and on a window seat you could only see what was out your side. The guide who was fluent in English only provided commentary in German and there was audio guide for other languages which was fine but at the stops the guide made no attempt to communicate at all with the non German speakers and point them in the right direction. Overall a disappointing experience

Excellent introduction to Potsdam if this is your first visit. There isn't time to go into the palaces but you can return and do that at leisure.

Was great with the exception the tour guide did not translate in English so I felt we missed out on some good historic stories

This was a great bus tour as it went to a number of palaces and we also saw some of the old east Germany sections. We went with our German friends which was good as the English commentary on the bus was a bit short.
