Last year my daughter and I came to Dresden and took this tour and enjoyed it so much this year when we came back with the rest of the family, we took it again. We were excited to get Wolfgang again as a guide. Saxony has a lot of interesting history and some current items we dont care for like the AFD, but the museums are fantastic and Wolfgangs historical knowledge is fantastic!

Oh yes, Wolfgang is a mine of information! It's a great compliment when a guest comes back with other family members or refers guests to us. We sure appreciate it. Thank you!

Wolfgang, our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was in depth and told the history of Dresden from its origins thru the Soviet era. Highly recommend for history buffs.

Seema was an excellent guide! We had travelers age 5, 16, 21, & 45 and she was able to connect with each one of us making the tour engaging and interesting for all!! We even asked her for more of her time as she was just amazing in her knowledge of the beautiful city and landmarks. Definitely recommend this tour, specifically with Seema as the guide!

Silvia was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, who met us right when got off the train. She was interactive and even gave us prizes! Our group was 2 adults and 2 kids (ages 13 and 10) and Silvia managed to that audience well. She provided historical context, which is very important. We should have spent more time in Dresden, we did it as a day trip from Berlin and it should be an overnight stop at least.

Wolfgang was the best tour guide that we have ever had!! What a marvelous experience we had with him touring the city....I cant say enough about how enjoyable it was. One thing that I will say that made it really fantastic was that he gave us tips and tricks for when we were on our own. For instance a certain area in the museum that is often overlooked because it is around the corner and between the stories kind of mid stairs...we would never have seen with out his pointing this out to us during the tour. I have many more examples but suffice it to say we thoroughly enjoyed it and it set us up for success for our stay in Dresden....and btw for coming back this summer too!!!
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Martha thank for for writing this wonderful review. It will certainly be the best start for the new year for Wolfgang! Happy 2023 to you!

We had a wonderful time on this tour! It was a great introduction to Dresden, both the historical sites and the history of the people and culture as well. Seema was an excellent tour guide and really brought the city to life!

Our guide was so knowledgeable, interesting and funny with a clear passion for the city, it’s ancient history and recent history. Time and money we’ll spent.

Seema was a fantastic tour guide for Dresden! She took the time to get to know us, so our experience was personalized. We asked for spots to stop and sit along our route, and she accommodated us. She was also very knowledgeable and her sense of humor kept us laughing. Seema is the best! She made our trip very memorable!
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Your laughter! It rang out and filled the plazas with life and joy. I thank you all for co-creating a memorable walk!
