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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,435 reviews · from $25

3-hour UNESCO Havel cruise from Berlin-Wannsee to Potsdam. See palaces, islands, bridges, and Prussia-era sights with bilingual commentary.

“As the last day in Berlin, we needed to rest our feet and also we carried heavy backpacks so tour such this seemed like a good idea. Be aware that it leaves from the place that is far away from Berlin center so give it time to arrive there. This boat tour is relaxing and it is a pleasant experience when you are tired. Though it can get a bit boring and too long in general. Nature is beautiful, you can see some buildings and bridges but not very much. It is more a relaxing activity if the weather is nice and not a "must see". The chairs on the…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 317 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $30

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…”
