Our tour was amazing. We were only three participanta and therefore had a nice almost private tour and could ask questions and discuss topics to get an even deeper understanding. Our guide was a nice amerikan lady who lives in Dresden since about 30 years and who is personally much involved in history and architecture. With here words and enthuisiasm she has drawn an very nice picture of Dresden and its history and buildings and involved people. She showed us the bigger pictures, made connections to Germany, Europe and the world on one hand. And gave emotional and personal detail information of important people. An unqiue mix. She is the best city tour guide I ever experienced. We so much appreciate this tour and we remember so much of the information she gave us. Thaaaannnkkkk youuuuu.

The overall experience was beyond my expectations. The tour was immensely informative and enjoyable as well. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the rich history of Dresden in the most attractive way. She was also able to keep people active and involved. Especially at the Royal Castle the captivating scenery of mural porcelain painting was skilfully combined with our guide's insightful commentary. Additionally, she provided us an extensive collection of stunning historical photos that brought the past to life. During the tour our guide made excellent recommendations for other places to visit and for local treats to taste. Also, the customer service was truly accommodating and flexible as they demonstrated professionalism and adaptability (I wasn't on time at the meeting point but I was able to get a hold of the group with a quick phone call. Furthermore, our guide managed to catch me up on the information I missed). Wholeheartedly recommended to anyone!

Laura was exceptional! Great tour, very informative and answered everyone’s questions with great background knowledge. She took us to interesting parts of the city and was well prepared. Laura was also attentive, given we had a foreign speaker, who needed English spoken slower and we had a person with special needs, so Laura was looking out for them the whole time. Really great experience, we would all recommend!
