Tour guide was awesome, although he was speaking mostly German (my group mainly of that language) he was able to translate in english too which kept me involved 💯 would reccomend to anyone wanting to know the history of Frederich the Great 😊

Covered a large area. Best for German patrons but audio guide in English is ok. More time needed at 3rd stop. (15 minutes too short). Plus impossible to take photos through glass windows
