The guide was very personable and had a pleasant voice. But the tour of the Semper Opera House was disappointing, I had hoped for more background information. We briefly heard something about Semper in the foyer and on the 1st floor, then we sat in the 1st tier for half an hour. The other guided tours could be heard at the same time. As if time had to be served. The Old Town tour was too short and too general afterwards

The city guide explained the history of Dresden in a relaxed manner and supplemented it with personal experiences. The time was over far too quickly.
