Highlights
  • Charlottenburg Palace - This beautiful Palace was commissioned by King Frederic I for his wife in 1800. Frederic II added the wings left and right.
  • Olympiastadion Berlin - The Olympic Stadium was built for the Games in 1936. This is where Jesse Owen won his many Gold Medals. Today there are Sport Events and sometimes concerts. Take a picture underneath the famous rings.
  • Grunewald Forest - We will take the “scenic route” from Berlin to Potsdam so you will see how much green there is, how many lakes and canals there are. You will pass the Grunewald Tower and Wannsee. If you like, you can make a stop at the Wannsee Villa, site of the infamous Conference in 1942.
  • House of the Wannsee Conference - Please note that the House is closed on mondays. All other days you can enter the house, if you like, and see where the conference took place.
  • Alexandrowka - 13 houses built for Russian prisoners, then members of the Russian choir, remain in this unique settlement from the early 19th century.
  • Schloss Cecilienhof - This is the last palace the Hohenzollern built. After the War, the Potsdam Conference took place here in 1945 which ended the war and divided Germany and Berlin in different sectors. If you want, visit the Museum with audio guides.
  • Hollandisches Viertel - The old Town of Potsdam was unfortunately hit by bombs in the second World War. However, much of the Baroque town remained unscathed. There are some 200 buildings from the 1740s which remain and also the Old Dutch Quarter has been restored. You will drive through this beautiful section of Potsdam and have the opportunity to take pictures or stop for coffee or lunch.
  • Sanssouci Park - Sanssouci Palace is famous because of the view from the fountain. Therefore your guide will take you down the vineyards so you can enjoy this becautiful view. Also see where Frederic II is buried (next to his dogs). Enjoy a wonderful stroll through the park.

Great sites, geeat history, great people handling the tour. - Sven and our driver Jorgen were very attentive to our special needs and made sure we maximize the tour, as we have a kid and a senior with us. They made the trip very enjoyable. The sites visited were very interesting, and being able to visit sites outside of Berlin was a treat. This tour is highly recommended.

Very informative day trip - Thomas is an excellent guide who is very knowledgeable. He imparted many tidbits of information that we wouldn’t have found out otherwise. The ride in the van with Marius driving was very pleasant. From the punctual pickup and drop off, the whole tour was enjoyable and informative, the five hours seemed to have flown quickly.

Wonderful tour with Outstanding Guide - Thomas picked us up at our Air B & B and we never stopped learning for 5 plus hours. It was fascinating, especially for my husband, a lover of World II history. We visited the Olympic Stadium, saw the grounds and some outside exhibits at Wannsee( inside closed for renovations) and spent significant time at Cecilienhof Palace( site of 1945 Potsdam Conference.) Thomas had so much “local” information which typically isn’t in books. We also saw and learned about the Dutch Quarter. Highly recommend this tour which can be customized to your interests.

Excellent private tour of Potsdam attractions - My husband and I took a private tour of the Potsdam area attractions with a super guide, Thomas Frys. Thomas was very knowledgeable about Berlin, Potsdam, and German history, and greatly added to our knowledge during the tour. He was able to answer any questions we had about things we were seeing, and gave us in-depth knowledge about Frederick the Great, which helped us enjoy and understand our sightseeing. He is also an excellent driver! This was a very pleasant way to spend the day, and well worth the cost. Highly recommended!

Private Tour to Potsdam excellent guide and driver - Just what we were hoping for. A small group private booking tour, including a lady in wheelchair. Guide was very informative and helpful in involving the lady with mobility problems. Only negatives were the high cost and the choice of venue for lunch could have been better.
