Overview

Your guide and driver Holger was born in Potsdam. He offers an authentic insight in the history of Potsdam. The former Prussian residential town became one of the focal points in the Cold War. The Potsdam Conference from 1945 paved the way for the Cold War. Potsdam was one of the most important Soviet bases in the GDR. The bridge of spies connecting Potsdam with West Berlin was a symbol for the seperation of Germany.

Highlight of our Euro trip!

Published on Oct, 2023

Holger exceeded our expectations with this private tour of Potsdam! Excellent tour guide and so informative! Holger reached out prior to our tour to confirm details, he was there early, ready to pick my Dad and I up in Berlin and provided great (and thought provoking!) information to Potsdam and around the city, stopping at various famous (or infamous) locations along the way, answering our questions honestly and respectfully as we travelled. He went above and beyond to share different sides of different issues and how it affected the country in the Cold War era and today. We ended up staying longer than the tour in Potsdam (amazing city!) and Holger helped us at the train station making sure we could find our way back to Berlin. My Dad and I have seen a lot on our trip through several countries in Europe but he still says the Potsdam tour was his favorite! Would HIGHLY recommend, especially for anyone with an interest in 18th, 19th or 20th century Germany - it's a must! Thank you Holger!

Eastern German and Soviet Van = Awesome Tour

Published on Apr, 2023

Our life history is inexplicably influenced by WWII and the Cold War so the opportunity to visit the site of the Potsdam Conference and the Bridge of Spies with a local Potsdamer was perfect. And Holger was an incredibly interesting, well versed guide who toured us in his old style, but new, van. Once you board her you are transported into the Soviet era and Holger added his family’s stories of life in Eastern Berlin and reunification to further enhance our understanding. Great tour!
