What a fantastic experience! - We had a wonderful time on our trip to Potsdam. Shadi was terrific, experienced guide who made us feel like we were on the excursion with a good friend. He is extremely knowledgeable, which made our time all the more interesting and enjoyable. I highly recommend this excursion!

Beautiful day in Potsdam - We enjoyed our day with Shadi. Potsdam is lovely with many beautiful places to see. We were, however, disappointed that we did not get to see inside Sanssouci Palace. That was a priority for me, but the timing of the ticket didn’t work with the timing of the tour. There wasn’t the flexibility in the day and tickets aren’t purchased ahead. But, as Shadi reminded us, Potsdam requires more than 6 hours. It is well worth the time!

Potsdam private walking tour - Shadi was very friendly and enjoyable to spend time with. He knows the employees at the castles very well and they go out of their way to accommodate him. It was a nice tour and well worth the cost for a private tour.

Berlin to Potsdam private tour - Shadi was an amazing guide! The personalized tour from East Berlin to Potsdam just for me and my 10-year-old…both history buffs. Shadi was professional and knowledgeable, as well as flexible with respect to the weather. While a hiccup with tickets at the Old Palace, Shadi made sure we made the tour. My one and only comment - on me 100% - I wish I would have requested a few formal moments at another tragic historically significant site in the route. But Shadi awesome, patient with children, flexible. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing Tour of historical sites at Potsdam - We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide (Shadi) who was very helpful and well-informed. He showed us some amazing places such as Cecilienhof palace and Sanssouci palace, which were both very impressive and significant in history (especially for those who are interested in the second world war, Cecilienhof Palace is a must-see). He gave us enough time to explore these places and then he took us to the charming Potsdam old town, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch at a great Italian restaurant. He also fulfilled our request and took us to the bridge where the US and Soviet used to exchange prisoners during the cold war, as shown in the bridge of spies' movie. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Berlin.

Potsdam Private Walk Tour Disappointment - This is the first tour through Viator I've been really disappointed in. It was supposed to be 6 hours not the 4 1/2 hours he gave us. Also we never stopped at 3 of the places included in the description - Neues Palais (45 min), Dutch Quarter (30 Min) of the Schloss Celienhof (45 min). I really wanted to spend time in the Dutch Quarter which he just drove by and pointed to. For $256 I would have been better off taking public transportation to Potsdam and then taking the bus or a cab to the various sites!

Potsdam disappointing tour - I was very disappointed in this tour. We didn't go to 3 of the places mentioned in the description and also we were back at our hotel in 4 1/2 hours instead of the 6. For what we did I could have used public transportation to get to Potsdam and then cabs or local buses to get around. For $256 for 2 of us I was very unimpressed.
