"First time in Berlin wanted to visit Potsdam so scheduled a private tour with Miha. Perfect solution as I was able to get a great tour of the city, learn a lot of the history and have an enjoyable day as well. Miha is multi-lingual and his english was excellent. He also was very accommodating to an older client by adjusting his pacing accordingly. I highly recommend Miha as a guide and this tour in particular."
"Miha was friendly, knowledgeable, had great suggestions and knew exaggerating much to talk. Great bang for the bucks. Far better value than our other Berlin guide who was retained by our hotel, Das Stue. "
"Très belle visite de Potsdam. Très instructif avec un guide connaissant et sympathique."

Chris about Martin
"Martin was very knowledgeable and also very easy to spend time with. The five of us each had different interests/questions and each felt like they got what they wanted out of the experience."
"We had a wonderful tour of Potsdam with Martin! Even though we chose a winter visit (which meant much of Potsdam’s beautiful gardens were not in bloom), Martin made sure that the tour was filled with great info about architecture, the history of Potsdam, and that of its rulers. He is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly loves being a guide. He also went above and beyond by giving us some tips/info on Berlin since we had several days there as part of our trip. "
"I had the best tour with Betty in Potsdam. She made sure we saw all the sites I wanted to see and I learned so much history about the city and former Prussian rulers. I would highly reccomend this tour and Betty as a guide! "
"Our day trip to Potsdam with Pablo was absolutely wonderful. We shared a list of things we wanted to do (including a leisurely lunch!), and he went above and beyond to make it all happen. We saw everything we hoped to see and enjoyed a fantastic meal at the most charming restaurant.
Pablo was incredibly knowledgeable about both Berlin and Potsdam, and he filled our day with fascinating stories and history. His enthusiasm and depth of insight made the experience truly special.
I wish there were a Pablo in every city I visit! Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a seamless, engaging, and memorable day in Potsdam."

Potsdam's Royal History
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 Palace: A Potsdam Gem
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.
Potsdam's Bridge of Spies
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.
A Touch of Holland in Potsdam
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's 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.
Taste the Local Flavors of Potsdam
After a day of exploring palaces, relax like a local. Find a cozy cafe in the Dutch Quarter and try a 'Kalter Hund', a classic no-bake chocolate cake, for a sweet taste of the region.
