A great way to spend 2 hours in Dresden. - One of our favorite walking tours ever! Christina's enthusiasm and knowledge permeated the group, making it both fun and fascinating. The walking part was easy; we only covered about 0.5 km in distance, but we learned a lot about the city and its history during that 2-hour trip.

Better than any museum! - We booked last-minute and wow, what luck we had in landing with tour guide Laura Park! On top of being super knowledgeable and entertaining about the history of Dresden, she brings to her guiding a most unusual experience: She taught English in Dresden during the Cold War. If you have any interest in Cold War history or politics, Laura is better than any museum! This unplanned tour turned out to be the highlight of our trip so far.

Leo was the best guide we had by far. - Leo, our guide from Viator, was excellent at sharing his knowledge of Dresden . He interacted with each person on the tour. He friendly, encouraged us to interact with him and set a walking pace that suited the group. At no time did we feel bored as we have felt in other walking tours. Great job. Leo
