Great tour, well organised and Tobi our guide was well informed and helpful. Wear comfy shoes and take a drink.

Walking, looking and listening to our guide was a wonderful experience (even without going inside San Succi palace). We walked on our own after the end of the tour along numerous paths towards the magnificent New Palace. The gardens and palaces' architecture are awe-inspiring.

This was a fabulous walking tour. Quincy gave a great history lesson into Potsdam - it's royal history, palaces, gardens, influences, old, new, rebuilt, and East German architecture, and relation to Berlin and how it set the stage for the horrors of the 20th century. Highly recommended for any Berlin itinerary. There is so much to see and do in Berlin, and so much history, but with Potsdam so close this is a great addition and a great walk to boot.

Awesome, interesting tour and guide was fantastic. Highly recommend this tour. Stayed a bit longer and visited the second castle.

Postdam was not on my original to do list in Berlin but a friend insisted I go, and off I went. While I could've done this excursion by myself, the tour was informative and it was a great intro to the eccentric life of Frederick II. My only "complaint" was that our guide was very soft spoken and at times it was a bit difficult to catch all the details under the windy weather, especially with names and years. At the end of the tour, the guide recommended us to spend time exploring the palaces on our own (entry tickets are not included), and this is an absolute must-do.

Reuben, our guide was very very good. Very good inter-personally, good humour, and very knowledgeable.

Fantastic half day in Potsdam with our tour guide Jenny. Jenny was very knowledgeable and told us about the history of the monarchy and Potsdam. Highlights of the visit included Potsdam's Gardens, Brandenburg Gate (the original one), The Soviet Memorial, Dutch Quarter and the fabulous Sanssoucii Palace! The weather was great as well and it was a day of learning. The trains to and from Potsdam were reliable and easy to use. Definitely recommend!
