Small Casual Group. - Had a great day and highly recommend with Mikhael. Easy casual pace and best of all after the walk you get the bus back to the train station. No rush with easy waking pace and opportunities to drop into a shop for a copy and a beer when the train is not due for 30 mins.

A fascinating tour rich in history in beautiful settings - A fantastic tour with Nickolai in Potsdam and the Sans Souci park. Nickolai was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and his love for his subject was infectious. He answered all questions and gave so much backrground information, the whole day was such a pleasure. He made it all come to life in a fascinating way. Nickolai was also very helpful at the end of the tour, guiding each of us to our next destination. Potsdam is a beautiful place and we got to see so many stunning places. Many thanks!

Trip to Potsdam with Oren - Oren was our tour guide around Potsdam and was very knowledgable on all the history behind the town. He was very interactive with all of us and made the tour very worth while. Would 100% recommend this tour and if you have oren as a tour guide that’s just a bonus. Potsdam is truly beautiful and we had many opportunities to take photos of everything and a lunch break. Oren loved to talk about all the history even when we were travelling on the train to Potsdam.
