Tom has so much knowledge and brings the events to life. From the time we met for the tour to the end of a fun day he was very engaging, so much knowledge and fun. Thank you Thomas for a fabulous day and insight to the history to Potsdam.

Fun, Beautiful, Enlightening

Published on Oct, 2024

We had a wonderful time seeing the highlights of Potsdam, with Tobi. We saw so many beautiful palaces, sculptures, gardens, etc... Along the way, Tobi regaled us with entertaining and enlightening stories about the history of the sites and the area, including Prussian history, as well as WW2 and East Germany history. There was a lot of walking, but they were very pleasant walks, through beautiful neighbourhoods and parks. The tour is also very well-designed, with a coffee/snack break, a transit break which gives you a chance to sit and rest for a bit, and some chances to take some free time to wander and take pictures in some areas. Despite the coffee/snack break, I was happy I brought a granola bar with me, so I would recommend bringing a light snack with you.

Amazing..
