5.00Seeing different neighborhoods and hearing the history of Frederick the Great were highlights. The Sansoucci Palace was lovely and easy to explore. It must be really beautiful there when the trees and flowers are blooming.,

5.00Stefan was an excellent tour guide. He met us timely at the train station exit with our name on a sign. We began our tour there. All along the way, he had wonderful pictures to show us how things looked in the past and we could compare to the present. His English was very good. We had a pleasant 2 hour introduction to Potsdam and Sans Souci with him. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hours. And he was the 1st of many guides who had pictures. That truly heightened the understanding of the various buildings and history.
Guide extraordinary

5.00Tour and guide were great!!! This was an excellent way to hit the highlights of Potsdam and Sanssouci, while it does not include the interior of Sanssouci, it did end there which enabled us to get tickets and go inside on our own.
Great visit to Potsdam!

5.00Stefan was a delightful guide and helped us understand how the personalities of Potsdam's many rulers/occupiers influenced the architecture and devopment of the area. We walked at a reasonable speed and he patiently answered all our questions. Great experience for visitors!
