Great experience in Potsdam - Roshana was our super excellent guide. She not only gave lots of historical facts, but went above and beyond to help us find our way back to our hotel. She was very careful to keep the small group together in fairly crowded trains and streets. She helped us buy train tickets too. Great experience and good value!

Everything was just as impressive!! - Great experience and a lot to see. Fantastic and knowledgeable guide! A little far to go for retirees with poor legs, but we got through well thanks to the guide!!

Great day out in Potsdam with our tour guide Patrick - The tour takes you through the new garden, the inner city and finishes at the beautiful Schloss Sans Souci. Our tour guide Patrick was extremely knowledgeable, attentive and charismatic. The tour involves a lot of walking so wear comfortable shoes and bring some water. If you are interested in history, architecture and like walking I would highly recommend this tour. If you are lucky, you will get Patrick as your guide, who I can not praise enough!

Potsdam tour with Patrick - This is a long, full day tour but immensely infomative and enjoyable. Patrick's historical knowledge, spanning three centuries, is excellent and he delivers it in an easily accessible manner. He is an accomodating and personable guide.

Highly recommend. - Fantastic experience navigating a walking tour of Sanssouci Park and the sights of Potsdam. Our guide Miguel was a wealth of knowledge about the history of the area and its lovely buildings. Wish we would have planned to stay longer to enjoy more of the museums, restaurants, and building tours.

Patrick was very... - Patrick was very knowledgeable, easy to work with & interested in meeting our needs & interests. I would suggest meeting at the train station rather than Generator & walking to train station.

Okay but rushed - The tour was okay but nothing great. The guide was good but they were rushing quite a bit from place to place and we saw everything from outside. When I booked it, it seemed like we would have gone inside the Sansoucci palace but we only saw it quickly from outside. It would have been good to have some free time to spend in town or at the palace.

A damp Squib of a Tour - The tour had two highlights: Potsdam palace and Sansouci garden. Both sites were closed and inaccessible and we felt very cheated. The comoany does not offer any refunds on these grounds which is a shame. We met rhe Guide Katia at a bus stop, only to walk 5 blocks to the train station. Pray, why not meet at the train station! We took the train and a bus to alight at Bridge of Spies. And then there was a long walk to the Potsdam palace, with a view of the marble palace on the way On arrival we learn that Potsdam palace is closed for renovations. The guide does this trip thrice a week. Surely.she was aware that this was the case, a nd so would Viator. We just stood around in the rain, and then walked away. What is the point of walking in a mile just to see the building. A CutOut would have been just fine. We take the bus to the town for lunch, and then a walk to SanSouci garden and building with 12 rooms. The rooms and the Souvenir shop is also closed. Maybe Monday - if so, pls dont organise the tours on Monday. We take the bus and train back. The Guide is knowledgeable and very nice. However on the whole the tour for us was a damp squib - quite literally also because of the rain spell in between. So 2 stars flr the Guide, and that's about it!

Great guide, but not the best tour - The guide had a wealth of information about the history of all of the Frederick’s that ruled Prussia and Germany. But I was expecting to enter the palaces and this tour did not. Also you briefly visit the town but you won’t have time for window shopping, etc. Also quite a bit of this tour will be spent in a nature walk away from the palaces. It reminds me of any nature walk I’ve had back home. If I were to do this again, I’d probably just go alone and visit the interiors of the palaces and hang out in town.
