Spend the day exploring the German city of Potsdam, once home to Prussian kings and the German Kaiser, during this 4-hour guided walking excursion. Explore the numerous palaces, castles and parks of this beautiful city, a location some have compared to France’s Versailles, on foot, listening to insightful commentary from your guide as you go.
Meet your guide in Berlin and take the train as the locals would do. Once in Potsdam, set off to marvel at the impressive architecture of the historic city centre, see the picturesque Dutch quarter, Potsdam's very own Brandenburg Gate and all of Potsdam's other highlights. Then, continue through the tree-lined avenues of the stunning UNESCO World Heritage Sanssouci Gardens with decorative fountains, ornate flower beds, and splendid palaces.

Walking, looking and listening to our guide was a wonderful experience (even without going inside San Succi palace).
We walked on our own after the end of the tour along numerous paths towards the magnificent New Palace. The gardens and palaces' architecture are awe-inspiring.

This was a fabulous walking tour. Quincy gave a great history lesson into Potsdam - it's royal history, palaces, gardens, influences, old, new, rebuilt, and East German architecture, and relation to Berlin and how it set the stage for the horrors of the 20th century. Highly recommended for any Berlin itinerary. There is so much to see and do in Berlin, and so much history, but with Potsdam so close this is a great addition and a great walk to boot.

Postdam was not on my original to do list in Berlin but a friend insisted I go, and off I went. While I could've done this excursion by myself, the tour was informative and it was a great intro to the eccentric life of Frederick II. My only "complaint" was that our guide was very soft spoken and at times it was a bit difficult to catch all the details under the windy weather, especially with names and years.
At the end of the tour, the guide recommended us to spend time exploring the palaces on our own (entry tickets are not included), and this is an absolute must-do.

Fantastic half day in Potsdam with our tour guide Jenny. Jenny was very knowledgeable and told us about the history of the monarchy and Potsdam. Highlights of the visit included Potsdam's Gardens, Brandenburg Gate (the original one), The Soviet Memorial, Dutch Quarter and the fabulous Sanssoucii Palace! The weather was great as well and it was a day of learning. The trains to and from Potsdam were reliable and easy to use. Definitely recommend!

The tour was well designed to cover main points at Potsdam given the constraints of four hours time. The guide was well conversant with the history and explained well as well .
