This was a wonderful tour with a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, Jim. My favourite parts were the histories of post-war Berlin and the Cold War, particularly the Glienicke Bridge, aka the Bridge of Spies. Jim's commentary was not only interesting but lively and not bogged down with dry facts. He also brought along pictures to illustrate who and what he was talking about. Potsdam itself is beautiful and I'd love to go back.

The whole tour was memorable. It was an action packed day for a very beautiful town. It was a great overview and our energetic guide, Jim, encouraged us to linger in town after and revisit some of our favorite spots. Great pace for the day. Would even suggest maybe making this trip at least an hour longer to take in more of the sites. But overall a good combo of sites and experiences.
