Wonderful day in Potsdam

Maria was a wonderful guide. We had a great day and learned so much history from Frederick the Great to Present Day. Highly recommend!

Potsdam‘s Fascinating Story with Maria

Beyond Potsdam’s natural & architectural charms, we loved how Maria weaved the story of place into snippets of history from 17th century Prussia to current efforts to learn from & never repeat the evils of the 3rd Reich & the Soviet puppet GDR.

Perfect Private Potsdam Tour

We got a super cool personalized tour, and our guide Glen was fantastic! We also got to learn how to navigate the German transit system. Glen learned what we were interested in, as our entire Europe trip had been WWII-focused, and really gave us details and insight around Potsdam, and the events and people that led up to both World Wars. Potsdam had a significant part to play, which I definitely did not know. There is also some beautiful and unique architecture around Potsdam, which I loved taking pictures of. Glen was very friendly and super knowledgeable, if you are looking for an excellent private tour to Potsdam definitely book this!

Very knowledgeable and organized the history of where Germany is today.

Nickolai was amazing and put the full history timeline in perspective showing the progression from beginning to end of where Germany is today.

Best tour ever!

Mikhail was AMAZING! It was unexpectedly cold and we got rained on as well, but he still made it an extremely fun experience. I went with a group of my girlfriends all of us are college age, and there were some older couples there too, and everyone was able to enjoy themselves equally. He knows his way around and if anything ever seems closed, he will find his way in for you.
