Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a wonderful day touring Potsdam with Miha. He was a fabulous guide and went out of his way to make sure everything was smooth and to our satisfaction. Miha is professional, knowledgeable and extremely friendly and we would definitely recommend him to anyone touring Potsdam or Berlin."
"Betty was a perfect companion for a day of touring around Potsdam. She was knowledgeable of local history and made sure to fill every minute with engaging conversation. I appreciated her flexibility when I wanted to explore two locations that caught my attention along the way, two short side quests. She even handled the train tickets, giving me a chance to observe how to use the rail system. We easily coordinated our meeting spot and itinerary via the app's chat feature. Betty's offer to recommend other notable places to visit after our tour was incredibly helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Betty and would choose her as my guide again."
"Our group tour with Miha was excellent. He was totally available for any questions we had about our meet up and what we wanted to see. A very enjoyable guide with a lot of information. I would highly recommend using With Locals and tour guide Miha. "
"Tiago is very knowledgeable and just a fun person to be around. He has made our tour through Potsdam entertaining and memorable. Tiago also find's the right balance between historic and fun facts. We were very pleased with how everything went."

Potsdam was the grand residence of Prussian kings and German Kaisers until 1918. Its pivotal role in history is sealed by the 1945 Potsdam Conference, which shaped post-war Europe.
Sanssouci, meaning 'without worries', was Frederick the Great's summer escape. This stunning Rococo palace and its vast, beautiful park are a UNESCO World Heritage site you can't miss on a Potsdam tour.
Known as the 'Bridge of Spies', the Glienicke Bridge links Potsdam to Berlin and was a famous Cold War exchange point. Feel the shivers of history as you stand on this iconic landmark on your Potsdam tour.
Explore the charming Dutch Quarter (Holländisches Viertel), a unique collection of red-brick gabled houses. It feels like stepping into a miniature Amsterdam right in the heart of Potsdam.
Frederick the Great, a philosopher-king, was the visionary behind much of Potsdam's splendor. He filled the city with art and architecture, leaving a legacy that makes any Potsdam tour a cultural delight.

"Martin was an excellent guide! He had a good suggestion about which train station to meet at, which made meeting up and getting out to Potsdam easier and quicker. He was very knowledgeable and personable. He knew how to maximize the time without making it feel rushed or hurried at all. Highly recommend!"
"Nous avons passé une excellente journée à Postdam, joyau de l'Allemagne à visiter impérativement car la ville est sublime! Si vous avez la chance de visiter avec Martin, cela rendra votre visite magique. Non seulement nous avons été émerveillées par les lieux mais nous avons fait une très belle rencontre et appris tant de choses. Mille mercis Martin"
"We had just a fabulous outing with Miha to Potsdam! Miha is so easy to be with and has great knowledge of Germany and the area. It was so relaxing to be driven to the city and the castles, and Miha told us right away that the day could be whatever we wanted it to be. We enjoyed lunch in the Dutch Quarter. He drove us back through Berlin in a route we had not seen and really enjoyed. Really one of the best days of our vacation because it was so relaxing! Thank you Miha!"
"To cut it short, Miha was amazing! He made our tour happen even on a short notice and an unannounced transport strike in Berlin. He went above and beyond, even bringing us to the train station himself to make sure we get back to our hotel. Thanks Miha for making our short stay in Berlin memorable! Must book y'all! Mabuhay from your friends in the Philippines! 🫶🫶🫶"
"Miha is a very friendly and profissional cultural Guide!"
