Great day trip from Berlin with private guide - We enjoyed our day trip to Sanssouci palace We prepurchased the tickets and we got there just in time for the scheduled entry on a Sunday Kirsten also showed us different palaces In Potsdam What a neat city with so much history. Our driver / guide was polite and knowledgeable and used a microphone so we can all hear better. The Mercedes Benz van was very clean and comfortable and we had plenty of space since there was only 4 of us! She even brought us back to the hotel we were gonna check in to after the tour! Highly recommended !
