“This tour of Potsdam was the 'icing on the cake' of our visit to Berlin. Our guide Sam, English but living in Berlin for many years, covered a range of topics from the Cold War, World War II and the Prussian Royal Family including Frederick the Great. He shared his knowledge in an easy manner that made it both enjoyable and informative.”

“The Discover Potsdam tour really was a fantastic experience and I would 100% recommend it. Our Tour Guide was Rob McCracken and he could not have been more knowledgeable or sensitive to our group needs. Rob is a history graduate and has immense depth of knowledge, I felt we only tapped the surface of the information he was able to provide. Rob navigated us to Potsdam via train & bus, saving us vast amounts of time researching the local transport routes. He took the trouble to find out about each member of the group and made sure everyone was present and okay at each stage…
…Time well spent, you will enjoy this well timed tour of beautiful Potsdam. Thank you Rob for enhancing our trip to Berlin and making it so memorable.
