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

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job explaining everything, including with pictures, but sometimes she spoke too quietly, so we’d give it a solid “4” but not a “5” (very good). We gained a wonderful insight into the history of the Semo Opera; the Old Town tour didn’t offer us any new insights, since we had already seen everything ourselves, including the wonderful art gallery and porcelain exhibition, as well as the tour of the Frauenkirche.

Embark on a guided tour of the beautiful Semperoper and Dresden's lively Old Town, discovering Germany's rich history and amazing architecture.

Immerse yourself in the grandeur of the Semperoper with its detailed interiors and river views, led by an expert German-speaking guide.

Experience Dresden's vibrant Old Town, visiting iconic sights like the palatial complex of Zwinger and the baroque-style Dresden Royal Palace.

Enjoy a holistic experience with the guided tour's inclusion of the Neumarkt neighborhood, renowned for its delightful local cuisine and bustling atmosphere.

Fun fact: Semperoper's roof is adorned by 4 panthers, a quirky detail often missed by visitors, adding a unique charm to your experience.

The very informative guided tour, the background information—some of which was excellent—and, of course, the Semperoper were all very good.
