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.

A very interesting, relaxed and enjoyable day in a Potsdam. - We went with Padraic who was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable , patient , funny and down to earth . He was organised , a clear communicator and managed the group perfectly . He ensured we were well taken care of , including assisting some with buying the correct train tickets. He inspired confidence and on our return by train he confirmed everyone would disembark at their correct stop.

Potsdam in a day - This was a lot of walking but we got a good overview of Potsdam and some of its history. Paul was a good guide and informative of the area. Difficult on a hot day with 20,000 steps by the end. Loved the Barberini museum. Didn’t do inside of palace but you would need to book that for a 2.15pm entry to the palace.

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
