“We got a super cool personalized tour, and our guide Glen was fantastic! We also got to learn how to navigate the German transit system. Glen learned what we were interested in, as our entire Europe trip had been WWII-focused, and really gave us details and insight around Potsdam, and the events and people that led up to both World Wars. Potsdam had a significant part to play, which I definitely did not know. There is also some beautiful and unique architecture around Potsdam, which I loved taking pictures of. Glen was very friendly and super knowledgeable, if you are looking for an excellent private tour to Potsdam definitely book…”

“Nice overview of Nuremberg if you don’t feel like walking around. Reserve early and be there 15 min before your schedule, else your spot can be sold. We came at exactly our schedule, and missed the ride. Good thing there were extra seats available on the next tram. Thank you to the tour operators for accommodating us!”
