A 3-hour Potsdam overview on the Old Fritz trail, mixing baroque streets, Russian Alexandrowka, and Sanssouci terraces for about $29.
“This tour was a great introduction to historical sites of Potsdam. You can explore them on your own later as it includes a hop on hop off option after the tour. Victoria was a great guide and had a lot of information to help us understand the history. Unfortunately the weather didn't help much on my tour, so dress accordingly so you have no problems with that. I definitely recommend this tour.”

3-hour street art walk through East and West Berlin with a guide, from hidden graffiti to an urban gallery stop.
“Rob was a great guide! Very knowledgeable about different graffiti/ street art techniques and artists, and had silly jokes to keep things fun. We lucked out and had a lovely sunny day, so that made it all the more enjoyable for a Saturday afternoon activity. If you have any interest in street art, I highly recommend taking this tour!”
Open-air Potsdam hop-on hop-off bus with live German and English guide, 15 stops to Sanssouci, Dutch Quarter, and Filmmuseum for $23.
Hop on a double-decker bus with live bilingual commentary, then switch to a Spree riverboat for guided sights from a fresh angle.
“Information about start and end times for bus was confusing. First we were told that our tour started at 11am. It turned out that the buses start at 9.45 but if you are wanting to take the boat trip without any stops in between you would need to be getting the 11am bus from stop 1 for the first available boat. Also buses stop at 5pm and we assumed that would be 5pm at stop 1 but it seems that it is 5pm at stop 10 so much earlier at stop 1. We had to miss our planned stop at Victory Tower as we were told that we were currently…”
A one-hour Spree River cruise on a 1908 boat from Paul-Löbe-Haus, passing Reichstag, Museum Island, Chancellery, and Bellevue.
“The boat is marvellous and most of the time I was thinking about how lucky I was to have booked such an elegant one, compared to the other boats in the city. I wasn't too much interested in the sightseeing comments, as it's not my first time in Berlin, but the recordings were not all too boring so it was nice to hear some interesting new details. The service was absolutely friendly and accommodating. Something to eat would have been nice.”
A 3-hour Potsdam bus and walking tour covering Cecilienhof, Neues Palais, and UNESCO listed Sanssouci Palace, with headsets included.
“The local guide was good, one on one, but there were only 4 English speakers (of 40+ passengers) on the bus so her commentary was all in German over speakers at every seat, and we had to try to use ear pieces to hear a recorded commentary everywhere the bus went. When we stopped she did give us a private portion in English as well as German to the rest of the group. It was distracting to say the least and I believe we got a minimum of information since we were the minority on the tour. She told us during the "season" there are more English speakers, and they…”
