Full description

Discover over 50 years of Soviet history in the small but historically important city of Postdam. Travel in a modern Soviet vintage minibus. Departing from Potsdam Central Station, head for Bassinplatz Square. Here, discover the Soviet War Cemetery, the final resting place of hundreds of fallen Soviet soldiers. Then head to the historic site of the Potsdam Conference, Cecilienhof Palace. Next door, visit one of the most important Soviet intelligence sites in East Germany and a detention center. Next, head to the world-famous Glienicke Bridge, aka Bridge of Spies, which was used for agent exchange and features in the Hollywood movie of the same name. Your final stop will be the Rechenzentrum Potsdam. Here, admire a huge socialist mosaic which depicts scenes of the notorious Cold War Space Race, before getting dropped off back at the main station.

It was a very entertaining and individual city tour, everyone was very enthusiastic and sad that the time went by so quickly. Holger, our guide, has an inexhaustible knowledge of the city of Potsdam. We can only recommend it warmly and would be annoyed if we hadn't done it. For a small group, the city tour is a "MUST". Our conclusion: keep it up. Unfortunately there are only five stars, we would like to give a sixth star. We wish you continued success and many more of these tours. Best wishes, Rainer Voigt
