My family & I went on the Potsdam day tour with Rochale (hope I've spelled it correctly!) in mid-January 2020 and had a fabulous day. Rochale obviously enjoys Potsdam herself because she was vibrant, enthusiastic, and had a huge amount of knowledge about not only the sites she was showing us, but also how those sites and the rulers of the past connected with each other and then impacted the various events that take us up to the present time. She certainly knew her dates, kings, wars, etc, but she also had a wealth of more personal information about the people and places she was discussing, which really helped to bring the stories to life.
Berlin was our last stop in a European holiday that spanned 11 cities and we'd done at least one one walking tour in each city (3 in Berlin!), and Rochale was the best of the best.
Totally recommend both the Potsdam day tour, and Rochale as a walking tour guide!
If I was to change anything, I'd like the tour to include an extra hour in the middle of the day (the lunch break) so that there would be enough time to have a little wander through the Old Town, and to have more than a take-away sandwich at lunchtime. (Our group was fabulous - I'd have loved to sit down and had a chat over a nice meal with them!)
