An excellent guide and interesting tour - Nikolai was very knowledgeable and very caring of his group, especially as it was a hot day. He put the history of Potsdam and Berlin into perspective. I would definitely do another tour with Nikolai should I return to Berlin.

Good storytelling! - Nicholai is great. We had a good tour despite the heavy rain. Also the historical anecdotes help me remember the journey. Can also stay and linger after the tour for the palaces or the town Postdam itself.

Missed the visit - No reviews. The guide said "we can take this train or the next one" in Berlin. I jumped on the train - too fast - and never saw him again despite 2 trains expected in Postdam 😂 . That said, he had very nice.

Disappointing - Do not do this tour. The guide is very sweet, but is a glorified chaperone. He gives you very little information. The information he gives is superficial, random with no historical timeline. Payment has been made and the guide doesn’t care to entertain nor educate
