Very nice, despite bad weather - Perfect trip! The driver Jens was always nice and polite. He told us the history of Dresden very beautifully and knowledgeably in his own words. It was a perfect birthday.

Beautiful area! - This was a very good way to see this area plus the bus driver's commentary was interesting. For the price and not to mention no stress finding everything like driving yourself would have been!
