Wonderful tour that gave us a different view of Dresden. Our guide Laura patiently answered our many questions about Dresden's eventful history and took time for everything - including a mulled wine at the Christmas market :-)! It was also great that the tour went ahead even though only my partner and I had signed up. So we practically got a private tour through the old Dresden, including lots of suggestions as to what we should see in the following days! So, anytime again!

Laura was a super interesting guide, inspite of the cold weather, she kept us engaged throughout the tour and 2 hours just flew past. The tour provides a nice overview Dresden and it's history and is a great place to start for first time visitors. In terms of Christmas, much of the tour walks through or close to some of the Christmas markets, you could easily grab a cup of glühwein to go along. :)

Laura was an amazing guide. So knowledgeable and so kind! We learned so much about the city from this tour. I would recommend this tour to everyone

Ms. Laura the guide was so nice. The tour was very informative... its worth it. Highly recommended. Thank you.
