“Really great tour. We went earlier to do a tour of the Neu Palace (inside) which was worthwhile then went to join the Tour in the afternoon. If you like you could do a tour inside of San Souci instead but you have the option of staying and doing that when you’re on this Tour. The Tour guide was truly fluent in German and English when we were doing the walking part of the tour. On the bus, the guide spoke only in German and the rest who opted for other languages were provided with earbuds to connect to the audio commentary which synced perfectly with the passing landmarks. Very…”

“The attraction itself very cool, I was on a similar cruise in Budapest and was expecting something a little different. The biggest disappointment was that when buying the tickets there was a choice of language in terms of the guide, I chose Polish. I assumed that we would get headphones with language selection and there would be Polish right there to understand everything well even though I know English quite well, but you know. Unfortunately the guide was on the loudspeaker only in German and English, my companion understood nothing and learned nothing from the tour. Overall the attraction on + with this small drawback.”
