We took the tour today. It was amazing. Our guide, Padraic, was incredible. So much knowledge and what a memory. His encyclopedic recital of names and dates is phenomenal. We were impressed! Lots to see and lots of walking. Be prepared. But that's what this is, a walking tour. And he even recommended a great restaurant for after the tour. Highly recommend the tour, and our guide.

Reuben was very engaging and well-informed! Fantastic personality. Would recommend! Postdam itself is worth a trip off the beaten path :)

Quincy was very informative and had great knowledge of the history of Germany and Potsdam. Really enjoyed his pictures as it helped keep things straight! My only complaint was the lack of a planned biobreak as well as only 20 minutes for lunch (which we spent trying to find a bathroom and ended up eating while walking. ) the tour was from 10:00-15:00. A planned stop would have made the day perfect

Our guide Quincy was very knowledgeable and helped us to understand the importance of the area and its long and complicated history. In particular the San Soucis Palace

We went with Padraic who was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable , patient , funny and down to earth . He was organised , a clear communicator and managed the group perfectly . He ensured we were well taken care of , including assisting some with buying the correct train tickets. He inspired confidence and on our return by train he confirmed everyone would disembark at their correct stop.
