Exciting experience - we see up & close the historical landmarks thru riding the city bus tour. Seeing the entire Berlin comfortably.

Sightseeing tour of Potsdam - We had purchased the Berlin Welcome card All Inclusive, which included both public transport to Potsdam and the City Sightseeing tour of Potsdam. To take the tour you have to validate your ticket at the North Exit of Potsdam station (there is a desk and tour umbrella) and then you wait for the bus. The tour takes you all round the very attractive town of Potsdam and there are stops at all the key sights. As we only had a morning, we simply went round the town but you could see all the palaces and other key spots, including crossing the Bridge of Spies. Very enjoyable way to spend 2 hours.

Not the Best - The tour was Ok and I appreciated the hop on and hop off feature. The recorded guide was really silly and dud t provide much historical info. It was not the company’s fault but the very heavy city traffic made for a slow trip and delayed pickups. The ride was extremely bumpy because of the cobblestone streets and the bus’ poor suspension and small tires.

Sees the sights - This bus tour was okay, it lets you see the sights of Potsdam. The bus runs every 30 mins and is an automated tour.

Frequency is too long and operation hours are too short - Potsdam is a beautiful city and there is a lot to see. Therefore, I decided to take the HopOn / HopOff tour bus, like many other tourists. Unfortunately, the bus runs every hour only, so that you don’t have enough time to get off the bus, to explore new things. Moreover, the operation hours are too short and the bus, especially the upper deck, is always too crowded. The price (20 Euro) is too expensive - better to take public transport.

Promised too much - We were at the bus stop that the Dorint Hotel had recommended to us. The bus stopped shortly after I waved with my crutches and told us that it wasn't stopping there after all. Then we had another disappointment: we booked the combined ticket with the boat trip online and the ticket on our cell phone wasn't valid. It had to be printed out.

Don't use it, terrible! - Do not use this route, it is easier to take a taxi to important points. Buses don't run on schedule! You'll just be wasting your time waiting for the bus at the stop. Very sorry for the money spent! First the bus left early and we didn't catch up. Then we walked about 40 minutes to the next stop, and when we got there, the bus just didn't arrive. So we sit at the bus stop for another hour and wait. This attitude towards customers is no good. It's disgusting. Never seen that in any 6-beard. Rate from 1 to 10? I'll give you minus 10! Waste of time and money!

Not recommended - Potsdam is very beautiful but the tourist bus is very unpleasant. The guide, with a very loud tone of voice, does not allow you to savor this splendid city. Not recommended

City Sight Seeing in discomfort - We waited at the stop where a loud salesman for the company tried to sell us tickets. He was unhappy that we’d already bought them. While we waited we saw 3 or 4 Big Berlin buses come through and various other bus companies. We waited…and waited. Then the bus arrived and stopped 100metres away so we and all the others the salesman had sold tickets to, trudge over to it, only to find it completely full. None of the other buses we saw were full. And so we waited again, watching all the other bus companies come and go. Meanwhile the loud salesman sold more and more tickets and a large cohort of people were all waiting for the same bus. Then, eventually, another bus arrived. It stopped in the original spot so we all had to trudge back 100m down the road. Loud salesman tried to make sure those he’d sold tickets to were first in the queue but I made sure that wasn’t going to happen. We got on the bus and managed to secure two seats up top. I have no idea whether everyone got on or whether some had to wait again. The seats were hard plastic and I spent my whole time trying not to slip down on them. Very uncomfortable. There were earphones to listen to the audio guide which must have been recorded at least 5 years ago, if not more. At one point it referred to a construction site that would be there for a long time yet with works not planned to finish until 2019! Surely they could have updated this since then. There was no construction, at least not at this particular site. There was construction at other sites but these must have started by 2018 or later as there was no mention of it in the audio. The audio guide was often out of sync with the journey, talking about buildings that we’d gone passed or not yet reached. At one point the bus stopped and we were told they were taking a 15 minute break! We just had to sit and wait. Some got off to take photos while they waited and the driver tried to fill their seats while they were gone. She sent a family up to fill the three separated empty seats on various different parts of the bus and when this family were told the seats were taken by people just taking photos, the driver came up and interrogated anyone who had said as much. I will not be taking another trip with this company and with so many other bus companies to choose from I would suggest others don’t either.

Do not do this - This is terrible, the bus only runs by the hour and goes to the same stop 3 times. The driver was dirty looking and stopped each time to smoke a cigarette etc. Do not do this! Go only to sans soucci and ride a bike or hire a car to ceceliehof.
