This was a wonderful day taking the train to Potsdam from Berlin. Knowledgeable guide and a wonderful route surround the many palaces of Fredrick the great and other kings of the erra. The grounds are beautiful and a lot of history surrounding Potsdam and visiting where the allies divided us Germany following World War II is incredible. Highly recommend this tour, and Nick, our guide, was wonderful. :)

This a fun tour. Nick, our guide, was knowledgeable about the area and history of Potsdam. He took care of all the details. Everything was smooth and easy from taking the train to getting our bikes. The ride was great. Such beautiful areas, trees, parks, lakes, palaces, and famous historical buildings and palaces, too. The ride is easy— no hills. There is time to enjoy and do a bit of exploring at each stop. however, you don’t go into any of the palaces. There is a stop for lunch ( Nick recommended some great places) and a bit of time to look in shops. It’s a great way uk get out of the city and see done natural beauty and history, too.

Fourteen miles of leisurely bike riding through town and parks, much of it along the path of the former Berlin Wall, and a journey through German history pre and post WWII. Simon did a fine job of storytelling and setting a relaxing tone.

You have to say the bridge where spies were swapped in the previous Cold War but all the Prussian palaces were magnificent.

Great tour! Excellent history and stories with a great, knowledgeable guide and beautiful biking paths through the lovely town of Potsdam. We all took the train together from Alexanderplatz and then picked up bikes (and helmets) in Potsdam and then toured the town highlights with a stop for lunch where you could stroll the old Dutch quarter and find your own food. An absolute highlight of our trip to Berlin!
