Entertaining tour - A week ago we had a wonderful day in Dresden despite the strong wind and we also really enjoyed the evening tour with the night watchman. The night watchman humorously reported facts about historical figures and buildings from the night watchman's perspective. And at the end we were sent off into the night with a humorous song by Georg Philipp Telemann. We can only recommend the tour.

well worth the price to explore the city and its surroundings - Definitely recommended for those who are not familiar with the city, but also for the surroundings and the blue bridge (the miracle). We had the best seats at the top near the window, ideal for taking photos. nice stops, especially the Môlkerei along the way.

Our expectations were exceeded. We'd go back anytime 😄 - Very, very worthwhile!!!!
The trip to Pillnitz was fun. The bus driver was really friendly and in a good mood 😄. We learned a lot of interesting things from him and his travel companion, Manu.
I was particularly impressed by how much you could really feel their love for their city.
They were able to convey to me how livable Dresden is and how great the cultural offering is in this city and the surrounding area.
I had no expectations when I got on a hop on hop off bus. I can recommend this company without reservation.
It was really fun 😀👍 Thank you very much

Good for a quick overview - It was a great way to get a good overview of the city. The walking tour is 1.5 hours. We skipped it due to lack of time. The Zwinger Palace grounds have been completely dug up, so it is a little challenging to get around to the 3 museums on the premises. The sound on thr English audio guide on the bus was quite scratchy and was difficult to hear. There are plenty of these buses running around the city, so they are quite easy to catch.

Book online, no thanks!?!? - A very nice city tour with lots of explanations, in one bus even the driver didn't give any additional explanations.
But now comes this:
1. It would be nice, for example, if there were benches for people waiting at some of the exits. I'm specifically talking about the Grosser Garten exit, as there would be plenty of space there.
2. Since I wanted to take my 88-year-old mother on another trip through her hometown and wanted to avoid standing, I booked the tickets for the tour and the visit to the Panometer online early. When I arrived at Postplatz, I wanted to board the bus. The QR code on my phone (that's what they advertise on the website), but I was denied boarding. I needed a printout.
So I got in line with the holidaymakers ready to buy (that's exactly what I wanted to avoid!) and got a printout. 43 cm long and 7.5 cm wide. And that twice...once for the bus, once for entry to the Panometer
Paper waste times three and then why book online?????????
For me, unfortunately, that was the most lasting impression of the trip.

Good way to see the city, but not the best hop-on I’ve been on - If you’ve taken a hop-on-hop-off bus before you know how these tend to work, but here’s the specifics.
I went in March so the route was slightly shorter, the price slightly lower, and the waits significantly longer. Hopping off is more of a commitment when buses only come every 30-60 minutes.
The route does cover a lot of ground that would be hard to get to via public transport to expensive via a private tour. Dresden’s mountainous areas are so beautiful I’m glad I made sure to see them.
The buses themselves are quite luck-dependant. My first one was sweetly old-fashioned, and had screen displays that were easy to navigate, but the second one was less attractive and more outdated.
It is also important to know that this is not open-top. Which you can see looking at the material, but for some reason I didn’t take that in when I booked. You’re not fighting the cold and wind, but the views are not as full and it makes photo taking almost pointless, but let’s be honest most open-top bus photos aren’t great anyway. (That said I did get a lucky shot of the sunset).
If you choose to take it I recommend getting off at pfunds molkerei, and walking towards the Kunsthofpassage. It’s a beautiful set of buildings and a lovely neighborhood to look around.
Also, goes without saying, but best views at the front of the top deck!

take headphones - Unfortunately, no headphones are offered, loud chatter makes it difficult to hear information - and the bus is too noisy.
Make sure you bring your own headphones

Not worth it - I would not recommend at all. This is a complete waste of time. The audio wasn't working on part of the ride.
