I took the castle tour through Potsdam with my 6-year-old son on the steamer. We sat outside and were even able to feed ducks along the way. The tour was very informative for me and very relaxing for both of us. On your next visit, we'd love to do it again.

It was an interesting tour, but since we had to use the audio guide for the activity which missed a few spots and there wasn’t any available at the castle or location, the experience was not that satisfactory.

Beautiful day trip to Potsdam! Lots to see and experience in the city and castle! Visually stunning and close to Berlin if you’re looking for an excursion not too far from the city.

It was well organized and a personal request was received after prior telephone agreement.

It was very nice tour Me and my sister in law enjoy!
