Fun, educational, wonderful - Actually, I wanted to do the tour of the other provider, but coincidentally I wanted to mention this exactly 10 minutes before the departure of the Fritz tour at the hotel reception. Because the tour started almost on the doorstep, so I didn't have to walk into the city, I decided spontaneously to change my mind. The fact that I was able to use this tour at the same time as a shuttle to the station was great. Winfried was our guide and with him and his stories and explanations time flew like nothing. We got a good overview of the castles and their builders, enjoyed history lessons and during the exits there was also a little movement on top. Winfried seems to know the chronicles of the city by heart, telling stories without teacher attitude and really taking care of every guest, even the non-German speakers. A wonderful tour and my spontaneous change of plans proved absolutely right - I really couldn't have beaten the time until my train ride "dead". I will definitely do it again on my next visit and hope for a Potsdam with fewer construction sites ;)

Best city tour in Potsdam. - It was a unique beautiful experience to explore a city tour through Potsdam on an electric bus. The weather was great and Winfried our top narrator was in a good mood. His enormous knowledge was impressive. His jokes always came at the right time.

Great tour - Great tour We (my sister and I) had a great driver. (Manuel ) He drove our small group with charm through the streets, rumble streets and diversions. Thank you Manuel Our guide Mario conveyed the knowledge and his passion for Potsdam history to us in a humorous and serious way at the castles and the castle gardens. Also learn a few more stories about the GDR and the secret quarter, etc. Many thanks to Mario ( Urpotsdamer) Give me this ride. It is informative and worth seeing. Thanks for the great tour.

Knowledge and humor - We had a great guide who guided us through Potsdam with a lot of knowledge, enthusiasm and humour. The combination of a bus tour interrupted by some walk is perfect. Also while hiking the guide gave explanations in a very entertaining way. Highly recommended!

Interesting and entertaining tour with Winfried - Had a very successful tour with Winfried on June 16, 2024 from 11:30 a.m. With many stories from Potsdam with its kings and emperors. Winfried's expertise is remarkable. One more reason to visit Potsdam more often.

A lot of information - Our YOUNG guide Winfried😉 has told us a lot. A lot of background knowledge that we would never have experienced otherwise. Really great and recommended for adults. Only four stars because we participated in the tour with child and this tour is clearly not for children.
