All you should know about Dresden - Doris was an excellent tour guide and she explained the nuances of life in Dresden, from the history of the city and landmarks to the disruption caused by the recent collapse of a major bridge over the Elbe, and her experience during the communist era. She was very knowledgeable and articulate in English, and we enjoyed her insights and humor very much.

Great guide, excellent walking tour - Helga was a fantastic tour guide! Very knowledgeable, great English, full of entertaining stories. She knew Dresden from well before the rebuilding, so hearing her own impressions was great.

Great Tour - Great Tour Guide - The walking tour was highly informative and provided so much more information than I ever thought to get on a short tour. Our guide, Doris, was simply amazing. Her perspective of the time prior to German Reunification, the time afterward and modern-day Dresden added so much more to the facts and history. Hands down, the best tour in a long time!
