Structured and very informative tour in a pleasant atmosphere. The guide promptly responded to questions and incorporated the answers perfectly into his schedule. Many stations were illustrated and made understandable with large-format historical pictures. The selection of the individual stations was very good and we came to places that we would certainly not have looked for or found ourselves - gladly again!

A comprehensive and insightful tour with Johannes. Seeing all the major points of interest in this 5 hour tour left us wanting to return and revisit in more detail. Johannes made sure we saw all we wanted at each stop before moving on. This tour option is certainly to be recommend.

Great Tour! So much to see, but our guide Johannes did an awesome job of keeping us on schedule. He also took the time at the start of the tour to get our input on what most interested us in Potsdam so we hit the highlights because you really can not see everything in one day.

We knew it would be cold so the minivan was perfect. Holgar took us all over and filled us with history, insights and anecdotes. It’s his own vintage Soviet ATV and his own business. Check out BerlinsTaiga.De Highly recommended

Competent and entertaining guide. Good answers to all questions.
