We had booked a city tour and our guide had a lot of information ready for us, which she conveyed in a lively and descriptive manner. Questions were also answered comprehensively and willingly. Thanks to the small "hearing aids", we were able to understand our guide well at all times and at the same time look at everything in peace. That was really good, because at the beginning I asked myself what do we actually need the parts for? The chocolate museum belonging to the booked tour was small but nice. We had booked the small chocolate museum, but I probably wouldn't have paid the €6 entrance fee for it.

The difference with this activity comparing to others of this type, is that you have to use basic mind abilities like imagination, logic, observation and sometimes combinatorial thinking which make it really unique. We enjoyed it at maximum. Highly recommended!

The tour guide was very knowledgeable. Told enthusiastically and lovingly about your city of Dresden. We absolutely loved it. And would recommend learning more about Dresden. Helene

Sehr informative und kurzweilige Nachtwächter Tour mit vielen Interessanten Informationen. Hatten mit Klaus einen super tollen Abend.
