Great little day trip from Berlin - Enjoyed my visit to Potsdam. Nik was my guide. He did a great job explaining the day, history, and tales of the time. I wish I had more time to spend in town but now I have a reason to return.

Great day trip outside of Berlin - Nik was a great guide! Enjoyed the visit. Wish I had more time to spend in town. The palace and grounds were wonderful!!!!

Very good overview of Potsdam - This was an excellent tour with Maria, a fantastic guide. She did a great job of shepherding our group through several train and bus rides. She's gave us a lot of history and interesting things to know about the city. Be aware that it is quite a lot of walking -- it is a *walking* tour after all. But this tour really did have more walking than many other walking tours I've been on -- a few miles in total. And there was only one relatively short break for lunch. Bring plenty of water and wear comfortable shoes. You may want to plan on staying in Potsdam after the tour ends in order to tour the palace or visit the famous Barberini Museum.

Potsdam tour with Toby - Very enjoyable walk with Toby (our guide). Knowledgeable , punctual, and great info about the sights. Enough stops for breaks, leisurely walk in gardens

Know before you go - Part our own fault, we didn't realize what we signed up for. So I'm writing this to clarify for other visitors. First, our tour guide Maria was wonderful - she is friendly, knowledgeable and organized. She shared numerous details of history and life in Berlin and Potsdam as she led the group on and off the trains and buses and through the Neuen Garten woods. Second and most importantly, this is not a tour focused on Potsdam center, the city life, architecture, art or palaces (it does end at Sansoucci and you should know to book your interior tour tix ahead of time - we booked at 3:45 at the suggestion of the tour manager). Know that more than half the walking and most of the day is spent outside Potsdam center. From 10-11 you meet up and travel from Berlin to Potsdam (easy, expected). From about 11-1:30 you walk and bus around the Bridge of Spies and wooded trails of Nördliche Vorstädte. There's a 30-min stop to get a bite to eat. The bus then takes the group into town. Around 2pm, with an hour left to the tour before they would head back to Berlin, we split off to see the impressionist collection at the Barberini Museum (not a tour destination). There was hardly enough time to see the magnificent collection there before we had to head to Sansoucci. If you like impressionist paintings, do not miss that museum. There was time after Sansoucci to walk through town and get dinner. By then we were of course very hungry. So before you book, know that you won't get to explore a lot of the town sites on your own, except in the evening. Bring food + water with you, and book only if you want to see the outskirts of Potsdam and not the inside of the palaces and museums. Overall, the tour is as advertised, but you need to look at the map and know before you go. (One minor note: James Donovan was a real person)
