Trip to Potsdam with Oren
shannoncK4051QF, Aug 2025
Oren was our tour guide around Potsdam and was very knowledgable on all the history behind the town. He was very interactive with all of us and made the tour very worth while. Would 100% recommend this tour and if you have oren as a tour guide that’s just a bonus. Potsdam is truly beautiful and we had many opportunities to take photos of everything and a lunch break. Oren loved to talk about all the history even when we were travelling on the train to Potsdam.
