- reneebochart0 contributionsNice tour guide, who was also multilingualThis tour was a great way to explore more of Riga, about which I was not much aware of, thanks to the nice tour guide, who was also multilingual. Riga has a craft brewing scene, which is wonderfully developed. I also tried the local garlic rye bread.Written July 31, 2024
- kirsty_mMelbourne0 contributionsLots of walking but no entry’s to anywhere.The description of this tour is misrepresented online. You do not go into anything. You do not go into a palace (Cecilienhof Palace or the Sanssouci Palace) or where the Potsdam conference took place. The guide points out some of these places, others were not mentioned at all for example ‘Explore a secret town used by the Soviet Secret Service and the ruins of a KGB jail’ did not happen. Our guide was engaged, but was not an amazing historian, and disappointingly, we didn’t learn a lot. It is a lot of walking, over 20,000 steps. We had 45 minutes free time in Potsdam which covers both the lunch break and ‘ Discover the charming city of Potsdam’ and ‘explore the Dutch Quarter’. If you chose to stay on in Potsdam after the tour to visit one of the palaces in Sanssouci Park, you must book a timed entry ticket in advance as there is not much chance of being able to get one when the tour ends.Written July 11, 2024

- bennos8130 contributionsNot a ghostly tales tour and language barrierSadly false advertising. Practically no mentioning of any ghosts of myth let alone stories or tales. Additionally the English of the guide was hard to understand so couldn’t always follow. For over 200$ paid for our group sadly one of the least interesting tours ever. Even the standard stuff about history can be told much more captivating, but if there is a language barrier under stable. Just don’t sell English tours then especially not for this title. Any extra effort like the guide putting on themed outfit or picking a spot to tell his stories that matches the theme like a dark alleyway is something that I was told after i would need to pay 300$ or more in Vilnius. Just skip this oneWritten June 9, 2024
- 933logank0 contributionsMemorable tourI liked the hospitality of the local guide that was provided.

Memorable tour.Written May 7, 2024

Staff were quite pleasant. Love the views. Best part was I got lost again on the way down and saw very architectural beauty in my search to get out. Everyone I met along the way were very kind.Written December 14, 2023
