Great introduction to Dresden - Great tour! The Procession of Princes was the perfect first stop. Nicholav used this porcelain tile mural to walk us through Dresden’s history…Holy Roman Empire through Napoleonic times. This set the context for the rest of the places that we saw. He was also very informative on more recent 19th and 20th century history. In 2 hours we were able to hit all the key sites. We’d definitely recommend this tour for anyone interested in Dresden’s history.

Amazing guide Nicola - Our guide, Nicola, was amazing. We were entertained by his descriptions of historical events and people. He held our attention every minute and made us laugh frequently. We particularly liked his description of the Catholic church built in Dresden and the circumstances surrounding the build. He also described the February 1945 bombing so sensitively and accurately that he literally brought me to tears. I wasn’t keen on stopping in Dresden at all but with Nicola as our guide, I would have stayed longer.

Dresden tour - Everything was great. Dominique was very knowledgeable and passionate. Excellent presentation of history and detailed tour. The only comment is to be a little more sensitive to the tourists in terms of politics. Comments about Gaza were very subjective and inappropriate.

Fake leadership - We had ordered a German tour, but the Führer could only speak English. There is no possibility to cancel or change this booking. We've broken the lead
