Best decision! - Padraic was an absolute pleasure to be with. He was an excellent tour guide. You can tell how passionate he is about his work as he explained everything comprehensively. We learned a lot about the history of Potsdam - generally, Germany. Book a tour if you plan to visit Potsdam - you’ll never regret it. Thanks, Padraic!

Do not miss this Unesco World Heritage sight on this half-day gem of a tour! - Our guide Padriac was not inly fun and knowledgeable, he was personable and insured everyone enjoyed themselves. His historical knowledge and his manner of presenting it was vast and engaging, keeping everyone not only interested but, eager for more. He covered a lot of ground literally and historically. I cannot say enough good things about him and this tour. I highly recommend the Potsdam half-day tour.

fantastic tour and great guide - We took the tour today. It was amazing. Our guide, Padraic, was incredible. So much knowledge and what a memory. His encyclopedic recital of names and dates is phenomenal. We were impressed! Lots to see and lots of walking. Be prepared. But that's what this is, a walking tour. And he even recommended a great restaurant for after the tour. Highly recommend the tour, and our guide.

Tour to Postdam - Advised - Postdam is a pretty beautiful city with a lot of history. The tour we did with Sam, a very professional guide, who explained everything to us in great detail, and who did it very pleasantly.

Great but needs a planned break - Quincy was very informative and had great knowledge of the history of Germany and Potsdam. Really enjoyed his pictures as it helped keep things straight! My only complaint was the lack of a planned biobreak as well as only 20 minutes for lunch (which we spent trying to find a bathroom and ended up eating while walking. ) the tour was from 10:00-15:00. A planned stop would have made the day perfect
