This Tour Was Fabulous!
This tour was fabulous! One of the best tours I have taken anywhere. All of the great architectural wonders of Dresden were easily walkable. Wolfgang is a history enthusiast and his excitement to share the great history of Dresden made the tour both fun and fascinating. My friends who were with me had unknowingly booked the same private tour for us the next day, and Wolfgang kindly made arrangements for us to do another tour with him that included a boat trip down the Elba and a tour of the royal palace (both are highly recommended!).There is so much history in the city of Dresden. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about it with an expert who so enjoys what he does!

The museum is really fun,informative and has a lot of exhibits and 3 floors
Make sure to have at least 1 hour for exploring.
The museum would be fun for both,kids and adults
No need in buying tickets in advance
Was a bit hard for a senior to walk between 3 floors

Behind the Scenes – ManufacTOUR Tour (English Tour)sskroll, Dec 2025
Beautiful Work
This was such a learning experience for the whole process of porcelain making. You go through different rooms to see each process and at the end you have a chance through several gift shops to buy something to take home. There are also different pieces displayed throughout. There is also a cafe and clean bathrooms.

Auf den Fußspuren von Kurt Vonnegut Jr Schlachthof Nr 5Karen_B, Nov 2025
In depth history about the politics surrounding the Dresden bombing and Slaughterhouse 5
A great walking tour and discussion regarding Dresden’s history in relation to Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse 5 and Dresden’s guilt or innocence regarding the bombing of Dresden by the Allies in WW2. Our tour guide was fantastic, giving a good insight and examples throughout - it’s easy to see this man is a teacher - really engaging and passionate about the subject … and a good sense of humour too 😁 We met Danilo again the following day … and he recognised us instantly (the 2 Nurses 😂) Great guide, insightful, highly recommended ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Escape Game Outdoor: Operation Mindfallcoachc911, Nov 2025
A fun event!
There were four of us on the road yesterday – and what can I say: It was great! From the beginning we felt welcome – the team was super friendly, attentive and full of good humor (high praise to you!).The game itself really grabbed us: The story was exciting, the puzzles demanding, but doable – just the right mix to make you tinker together, laugh and end up proud. The combination of iPad, agent case and technical support was cleverly implemented and really brought the adventure to life.Especially beautiful: We had a lot of fun together, felt like a team – not just four individual players, but four agents in action. The process was well organized, the clues came at the right time and the atmosphere was coherent.Conclusion: If you are looking for an outdoor escape game that focuses on team spirit, excitement and experience – I highly recommend Operation Mindfall at Dresden Secrets. Thank you for the great day – we would love to come back!

Excellent tour
Our guide delivered an excellent tour of the city, beginning by asking about our specific interests to tailor the experience perfectly. She was highly knowledgeable, insightful, and generous with her time, answering all our questions along the way. We also greatly appreciated her dining recommendations while in town.

Escape Game Outdoor: Operation MindfallO8123QPdirkm, Sep 2025
Successful challange without boredom and with charm of 007.
Good support in the organization and preparation. Secret Service staff was on time at the location and gave a very good introduction / explanation of the game. Help due to problem with tablet came immediately after call.Absolutely exciting and gripping. Puzzles are not too hard, but require creativity and sometimes you had to think around the corner. 2 hours of fun were guaranteed. Time was enough, but still 2 of 4 teams did not quite make it.We can only recommend. Entertainment for a narrow wallet.

In any case, this Hung Over - JGA Challenge is recommended
I first thought about whether I had chosen the right one. But we had a hell of a lot of fun doing it, even if we couldn’t answer all the questions and ES had rained on top of that.

Highly recommended as the outdoor event is a completely different experience than in enclosed spaces
The tour and the compiled procedures have made the afternoon/evening a beautiful and varied experience. Highly motivated and ambitious, we went to graduation. This is best achieved in a team.
We look forward to next time.

Outdoor escape game – the magical portalWagnerSt, Jan 2025
A highly recommended experience, especially in the run-up to Christmas
The Outdoor Escape Game "Adventure Christmas Market: The Clock of Eternity" is a highly recommended experience, especially in the run-up to Christmas.Already the welcome was exceptionally friendly and immediately created a pleasant atmosphere. The introduction to the equipment and the first hint were clear and understandable so we felt well picked up from the start. A special highlight was the offer of mulled wine or children's punch, which perfectly rounded off the Christmas mood.The play time of 2 hours was just right and ideal for our group of four people. The game is superbly structured and thoughtfully constructed with the tablet provided. The puzzles are challenging, but with a little creativity and the right use of the utensils absolutely solvable. We particularly like the fact that teamwork and logic are in demand, which increases the fun factor enormously.Our conclusion: This escape game gave us great pleasure and we had a lot of fun doing it. We can recommend it to anyone looking for an exciting and fun challenge – a perfect activity for families, friends or colleagues!
