Excellent tour with Maggi - Our tour guide Maggi was incredible. We were on the 6.5 hour tour in Postdam. He was highly knowledgable, friendly and considerate of all participants. The area is beautiful and the ride is fairly flat. There were people of all levels of bike experience on our tour and Maggi made sure that everyone was with the group before moving on.

Touriffic! - Such a fun, informative and active Tour. We love the stops and getting a few minutes to Tour and look around. Thor gave us some information at our stops and we loved the tidbits of information. Perfectly paced.

Potsdam - Nice group, Bindi (SP?) did a good job shepherding us around Potsdam and the sites.... One suggestion: Have some specific recommendations for lunch spots when you break, could save some wantering around...thanks!

Worthwhile bike tour. - Background knowledge was great. The group interaction was good on the tour which made the tour that much more enjoyable. Helmets were not offered in Potsdam like they were in Berlin.

Great bike tour! Love to learn about our LGBTQ+ past! - Simon was a fantastic guide who provided a lot of history with a relaxed vibe. We didn’t know anything about Frederick the Great and were happily surprised to learn some LGBTQ+ history via this tour! We only had one other couple on the tour, who were also awesome (hi Jackie and Stuart!), and we appreciated that it wasn’t cancelled for such a small group. It is a long day with a lot of biking, so just be prepared, however you do get a lunch break in the middle which was nice to relax and wander Potsdam alone.

Wonderful day in the palaces of Potsdam - This was a wonderful day taking the train to Potsdam from Berlin. Knowledgeable guide and a wonderful route surround the many palaces of Fredrick the great and other kings of the erra. The grounds are beautiful and a lot of history surrounding Potsdam and visiting where the allies divided us Germany following World War II is incredible. Highly recommend this tour, and Nick, our guide, was wonderful. :)

Potsdam bicycle tour - I felt our guide was inexperienced and lacking in information. In other tours I have done the guides have so-much info to supply they run out of time. In this case the guide gave a brief explanation at each stop and sent us away to explore by ourselves. It felt like she was happier to be alone.
