It was great visiting Potsdam and the Sanssouci Palace. There is so much history in this place. Potsdam is an incredible city, and the Palace is spectacular. Unfortunately, we had to rush our activities and didn't have time to go to the gardens or take some photos there. That was a real bummer. I wish we could have gone to the Palace Gardens at least for 20 minutes. Nonetheless, this tour is a must to do if you are in Berlin

Sebastian was excellent. He helped us orient ourselves to the larger area of Potsdam and gave an outstanding tour of the Palace and into the city of Potsdam. I do wish there had been a little time to walk around the gardens. If you want to do that, you may want to do a different tour.

Knew it would be rushed and it was.

Potsdam is worth a visit but allow a full day from Berlin. If in doubt, the saying is not quite true that 'when you've seen one schloss, you've seen them all' but it's close. A visit to the Charlottenburg Palace is a better use of time. The guide was lovely but trying to get us round in an hour while speaking/listening once in English and then again in German was quite a trial.
