Best tour guide ever!
Our tour guide Dr. Wieland was able to completely thrill us for 3 hours with his extensive historical knowledge and his relaxed storytelling style. We can highly recommend this tour to anyone taking a trip to Potsdam.

City Sightseeing Potsdam Hop-On Hop-Off Bus TourRamona_S, Aug 2026
The best highlights of Potsdam
On the extensive, approximately 2.5-hour tour, the sights worth seeing in Potsdam are visited. Getting on and off is possible without any problems at all stops.
There is a lot of information about the sights on the route via headphones.
I was out and about with my 9-year-old granddaughter. The tour was also very interesting for her and she liked it very much.
During the stopover at the Russian Colony, we had a very good lunch at the restaurant there. Afterwards, we continued to Sanssouci Palace and took a walk through the beautiful park to the Church of Peace. Afternoon organ concerts occasionally take place there. If interested, you should check the homepage beforehand so that you can "incorporate" this highlight into your tour.
All in all, I can highly recommend the hop-on hop-off bus for a sightseeing tour in Potsdam.

An unforgettable and deeply insightful tour of Berlin!
Unforgettable and deeply moving private tour with Luis and Eric!Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Review:We booked a private combo tour of Berlin and the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp through Cool Destinations, and it was hands-down the highlight of our trip.Our driver, Eric, was fantastic—he provided a smooth, comfortable, and completely stress-free ride throughout the day. Our guide, Luis, was absolutely world-class. Balancing the vibrant history of Berlin with the heavy, sombre reality of Sachsenhausen is no easy task. Luis handled it with the utmost respect, empathy, and depth of knowledge.We covered an incredible amount of ground seamlessly. In Berlin, we explored iconic landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, and the Berlin Wall, alongside several museums. A unique highlight was stopping to see the plaque dedicated to President Ronald Reagan. Luis brought the history of each location alive through powerful storytelling rather than just reciting dates.If you want a flawless, deeply educational, and premium private experience in Berlin, request Luis and Eric—they are an unbeatable team!

Good tour, interesting, understandable, simple.
The tour was informative and entertaining, although we still took 3 hours because there were so many other things to discover.
The installation of the app is simple; afterward, you just enter the code that you receive via email or SMS. Then it can begin.
Headphones are recommended.

Good knowledge for an extra dimension of the park visit!
Very nice and interesting guided tour. Enough stops and a well thought out order. Jo Eckhart also has a good narration. Good mix of facts: informative and lighthearted. Liked to be able to listen in advance to be more prepared.

A tour to be enlightened about Potsdam's rich heritage

Beautiful Baroque Potsdam: A Self-Guided Audio TourShawn_Hou, May 2025
A lot of walking for an old person
I am 66 years old and have bad knees. So I wasn’t able to finish the tour. What I saw, I think it was just as good as a guided tour, that is self guided would not have been improved by a person leading it.

Friendly guide and a connection with moments in history
Thanks to this walking tour and the friendly guide, we got to see the blend of blend of history, beauty and culture of Potsdam. The grandeur of the architecture of the Sanssouci Palace is worth experiencing. We liked the way the guide spoke about various significant moments in history.

ABSOLUTELY worth the Trip w/this knowledgeable & well traveled Guide.
Zlato was a truly informative guide for Potsdam. He put in a lot of effort to customize the Tour according to my preferences.We didn’t walk as much as he wanted me to since it was awfully cold for me. But that was my own choice.He spent much more than the scheduled hour as listed since we struck up a good conversation over Kebabs!I had a Great time & hope to have a tour with him again for Berlin next time.Thanks Zlato.
Hope I didn’t butcher your name.

Seeing 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.,

A Through 2 Hour Introduction to Potsdam and San Souci gardens.
Stefan 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.

Excellent, informative walking tour
Having really enjoyed a couple of Jo Eckardt’s audio tours in Berlin, we decided to do this one in Potsdam. Again it was excellent - a lovely route, well narrated and lots of interesting historical background and anecdotes.

Potsdam and Palace Cecilienhof Walking TourF1496HQsebastianm, Jun 2024
Since I am interested in neoclassical history, this tour was a delight for me
What I liked best was the style in which the tour guide spoke about royal dreams and the great powers as per the history of the Cecilienhof Palace, with it's history going back to the year 1913. And how the Cecilienhof Palace has in a way "evolved" from being an early Neoclassical palace to the modern country manor. Since I am interested in neoclassical history, this tour was a delight for me.

Respectful, knowledgeable, and everything in-between
Anastasia was a wonderful guide! Her English was excellent and she was extremely knowledgeable. If I ever go back, she’ll be my first call before I even book tickets. Due to cruises, I’ve had a lot of tours recently, and most have been good, but she makes iit great!
