Our family really enjoyed this tour! Everything was well organized, the guide was excellent, the itinerary interesting, and the pick-up was easy. The palace was beautiful, and we got some beautiful photos in the gardens. My kids loved hearing stories about Frederick and his dogs, and we were all surprised to see potatoes on the King’s grave until our guide explained why. A perfect half-day trip.
I had a great trip to Potsdam! Our guide spoke excellent English and knew so much about the city’s history. The Sanssouci palace and gardens were absolutely beautiful, and the city tour was really interesting. I was surprised by how many palaces there are in Potsdam! Our driver went slowly through the town, giving us time to take photos and enjoy the views. It was also fascinating to see the wooden houses in the Russian Colony and learn their story. Definitely worth going!

During his reign in the 18th century, Frederick introduced potatoes to Prussia to fight hunger. Today, visitors place potatoes on his grave at the Sanssouci Palace to thank the king who helped make potatoes a part of everyday German life.
