Thomas was outstanding. Added great context and very interesting story telling of how Prussia was born and evolved. Fascinating.

The tour and Maria, the Guide - was wonderful. Seeing where the ‘Bridge of Spies ‘ event took place, the walk through the Neu Garden with the Norwegian Village, the Villa and beautiful Potsdam & the Sans Souci Palace was accompanied with intriguing historical facts. It was a fabulous day 👍👍👍👍👍
