Rocío from Spain - Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the topic. He was funny, kinda comedian as he said... Gregor engaged everyone in with questions and he loved arts you could tell. He made connections with history and important moments in time and we had a lot of fun.

Really great tour and guide! - This tour is so much fun, so beautiful, and full of rich history. Our guide was from Whales and really had the gift of story telling, because there is so much to learn, and I remember almost everything he educated us on. It’s also great because you meet in Berlin, and take the train together, so for people new to Berlin, it’s nice to have some to guide you to bus stops and train stations. The walk through Potsdam takes you through all the most beautiful sites to see, and you can make a note for things you want to come back and explore after the tour. Sanssouci Palace entry tickets are sold separately, so make sure to purchase your entry tickets and align it with the end time of your tour, because you end the tour at the entrance of the palace. The sanssouci museum is a three minute walk from the palace, and id highly recommend that one as well! You have plenty of time on the tour to grab water, the BEST gelato, a sandwich, pastry or doner kabob, whatever your heart desires. My advice is, to stay in Potsdam after the tour is over, and really take in the sights! So beautiful. Had a great time.
