We took this tour with Jonny who was awesome. We left from the Berlin train station for a 45 min train ride. We saw several large palaces and some small ones. We saw the Bridge of Spies, and where the Berlin wall was. We saw some awesome gardens and the hotel where the Potsdam convention took place in 1945. We also saw downtown which was quite quaint. Lots of great info packed into 6 hours.

The guide (Josh) was very friendly and well organised so the tour went seamlessly using various types of public transport. He was extremely knowledgeable and kept us entertained with information and stories from the past and was happy to answer any questions. Potsdam itself is beautiful with palaces, lakes and gardens - definitely worth a visit.
