Here’s an overview of your tour
Sit back and relax! Explore the historic city of Potsdam on a private car tour with a friendly local. Drive by the famous palaces of Frederick the Great and learn Germany's royal past. With architectural gems, gorgeous landscapes, and fascinating stories; this Berlin car tour to Potsdam is a must.
Let's drive back in time! The history of Potsdam is incredible. Once home to Prussian kings and the German Kaiser, it's filled with unbelievable stories and architectural masterpieces that'll take your breath away.
Hop into a comfortable Mercedes! We'll start the private day trip in the heart of Berlin, so we'll even pass famous landmarks on our drive to Potsdam. When we arrive, we'll head straight to the famous Glienicke Brücke (Bridge of Spies). Here, Soviets and Americans exchanged captive spies during the Cold War. It sounds like the plot of a movie, but I promise it's true!
The day-trip from Berlin will continue to the beautiful Cecilienhof Palace. I can explain to you how Stalin, Churchill, and Truman came together here to shape the future of Germany and the world as we know it. Then we're off to visit the unique wooden houses of Alexandrowka, a former Russian colony.
On the road again! Only a few minutes away is the famous Sanssouci Palace and the beautiful Sanssouci park. We can drive around the enormous park and wonder at all the gorgeous architecture including the Grand New Palace.
After seeing the palace, we will continue the tour to the center of Potsdam City. We'll explore the charming streets of Potsdam, the historic Gates, and the beautiful Alter Markt. And don't worry, during the tour, there will be time to stop for a meal!
Remember, your day trip can be 100% personalized. Let me know your preferences, and I'll fully customize the tour just for you!
