There was a lot of interesting information, and we learned a lot about Dresden through it. It was very fascinating. The lovely woman who was our guide accommodated our requests. It was a very wonderful tour.

Highly recommended. It was very interesting. I learned a lot of background information that you won't find in any guidebook. I had already been to Dresden 2 years ago without a tour of the Old Town. There's no comparison. You should definitely do it.

Ms. Rupp led the tour (Old Town and Semperoper) in great detail and with a sense of humor. She answered our questions, and we would love to book another tour with her. M&W.J
