Crowning conclusion - It was the culmination of our city trip. Our night watchman Hieronymus Sarcasm told full of wit and charm that we could not get out of laughing. It was over an hour of amusement. Thank you for the great experience.

Entertaining city walk - Very entertaining tour with experienced "hosts". The route itself is very manageable, but even on the short route there are a few things that are charmingly pointed out and explained.

Great guy, great tour, definitely experience it yourself - Great "night watchman" We can highly recommend the tour. Very authentic, interesting and lively narration. Lots of information about the origins and development of Dresden, but well packaged and not boring at all. At the end there was a great tip about where to eat well... Great guy, great tour.....

Highly recommend - Great experience. Kids friendly tour. History lessons can be enjoyable. I don’t speak or understand much German but it was explained in such a way that I was able to understand and enjoy. The guide has unique ability to bring history in front of you by storytelling in interactive way.

Not what we expected. - We were expecting a quirky tour with spooky anecdotes. Our guide focused primarily on architecture so we were disappointed.

Canceled - Unfortunately, it was cancelled due to illness. I still had to pay. Then asking for a review is funny. Illness cannot be planned.
