What people are saying about Marmorpalais

It was very easy to find the meet up spot since the guides were wearing lanyards and there was a tour sign. Johnny was an attentive and knowledgeable guide for our trip to Potsdam. He made sure everyone had the right train ticket, knew where to go, and was available for any questions. He had many photos printed to help support his stories. Definitely recommend! My tour was about 4 hours round trip from Berlin (10am to around 2pm).

the booking was easy, it was nice that you could also print out the tickets as a PDF file and didn't have to load an app. The tour was very nice, despite some bad weather. There were enough places. We found the interesting information via announcements very good.

Very nice tour with a variety of impressions and information. If you want, you can also get food and drinks at the table with friendly service. The information about the sights is easy to understand over the installed loudspeakers. The weather kindly cooperated too.

We got on in the middle and only got the earphones later. As it was our first tour, it would be good to inform the guests beforehand.

It's always nice that there are buses of this type.
