What people are saying about Dresden Cathedral

Klaus was great as a guide. At first I couldn't really assess him, but after a short time I really liked his dry sense of humor :-) He underpinned the city tour with a lot of knowledge. Questions were answered immediately. Highly recommended***** You could easily redeem the chip for the cup of coffee in the café after the tour ;-)

Silvia was a superb guide for our center city tour. Her knowledge of the city’s history, the arts as well as current events was excellent. We were thoroughly pleased with our experience.

The tour guide was very good. Extensive information packed in an entertaining way. A total of 130 minutes instead of 100. Great! The free coffee wasn't great. Recommended tour!

Did the tour with Johannes Westerkamp to Dresden and absolutely loved it. We'll be happy to come back to it. Claudia Behrens and Georg Ebert
