The guide Jasmine was very knowledgeable and took her time to offer a great deal of history and anecdotes about Potsdam and Germany in general. Both she and the driver were polite and professional making the trip a very nice experience.

Guide Sue was very informative in her talk. Driver Ben drove slowly, giving us time to see and even take pictures occasionally. The trip took 4 hrs exactly, clockwork. Weather wasn’t the best. Worth to go.

Our guide Jasmin was simply a hit: in a good mood, cordial, attentive, pleasant to listen to! Repeated for the French woman present (!!!) everything in German! :D

Brilliant guide informative and friendly Gorgeous palace not to be missesd

Uncomplicated booking, great price/performance ratio
