Excellent private tour adapted to accommodate my mobility issues. Shadi is very knowledgeable and personable and showed us quite a lot during the time we were in Potsdam. We didn't go into the Neues Palais, but we spent more time seeing other things, and that was fine. We had a choice of lunch places and chose Italian, which was good. Shadi picked us up on time at our accommodation and returned us there as scheduled. Highly recommended.

Shadi was an excellent tour operator. He clearly loves Potsdam and is very knowledgeable about the area and its history.

Alicia_K

Shadi was an amazing guide. The car was clean, he was super professional and when the trip ended I felt I had a friend in Germany. He was also very knowledge about the area and was able to inject colorful commentary on what we were seeing. We never felt rushed and shared an amazing lunch together. I would not hesitate to contact Shadi if I ever needed anything in Germany

Patricia_H

Wow! What a great day with Shadi! Pick up was prompt and easy. Shadi was knowledgeable and fun to be around. When we decided to add another guest the night before, the company was extremely quick to respond on how we could do that.

This tour gave a wonderful insight into 3 significant moments in history - Frederick the Great and his building of Germany, the Potsdam Conference which course for Germany following WWII and the bridge of Spies which was a significant part of the Cold War in Germany. All this was done with good lively conversation between the venues.

I cannot recommend this tour more! Shadi is kind and considerate. He was flexible and allowed us to explain what we were interested to see and adapted his itinerary. As a result, we saw much more than we knew we should! Also, as a personal touch, Shadi went out of his way to help me find a specific type of cake I wanted. This is a great tour!

Shadi's friendliness and enthusiasm for the location made the tour extraordinarily enjoyable. He went far beyond the ordinary to ensure that every moment was memorable, and his dedication truly made the experience unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a better guide to introduce us to the history and beauty of Potsdam
