Highly recommended tour.
Our walking tour of Dresden with our guide Karen was fabulous. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the city and showed us many beautiful sites. I did this tour 3 years ago with my daughter and booked it again on this trip. It was slightly different this time and yet still fabulous.

We took the Dresden walking tour with Dr. Fraser Macdonald. We found Fraser to be very informative, friendly and knowledgeable. Our time in Dresden was quite limited and his tour allowed us to see the major sites in a relaxed fashion. I would highly recommend booking this walking tour with Fraser! Eva

Hassle-free Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland Trip from Dresden

SWITZERLAND NATIONAL PARK
Our day trip to both Saxon & Bohemian Switzerland National Park was a good experience. We enjoyed the small groups and appreciated the picking up and dropping off right at our hotel. The hiking was more challenging than expected and advised but we all tried hard to make it. John was such a great tour guide, knowledgeable, friendly and caring. He always looked back and checked to make sure everyone was safe and sound, stopped and waited and supported the slowest person. Thank you so much, John, for taking good care of us.

Great Tour Of Dresden by Helga
This was an excellent tour of Dresden by Helga. Helga told us a lot of the history of Dresden and showed us the major points of interest. After completing the tour, we visited some of the museums and learned even more about the history of Germany. The collection of scientific instruments and the transportation museum were very interesting.

This ‘start anytime’ self walk tour was terrific. Easy to download and very simple to follow, it was a great way to leisurely walk around Dresden old town and enjoy the extremely informative commentary. Value for money and we have already recommended it to friends.

Self Guided Walk Through Dresden’s Historic Old Town
Melaniej3008, Aug 2026
Great walk around Dresden
Highly recommend this tour for an overview of Dresden if you want something informative but not too long. It took us 25 minutes to walk to the start from the station but it was easy to follow once we are at the start. The guide lets you know step by step when you are near. I booked this after doing tours previously that were too much talking and not enough walking so this was perfect. For ease and price I’d highly recommend

Dresden Scavenger Hunt & Highlights Self-Guided Walking Tour

Worth it
A nice route that leads to all the important sights of the old town. The puzzles were easy to solve. For us, the repeated text about the sight after the puzzle wasn't necessary; a longer one before the puzzle would have been enough for us.

Dresden Scavenger Hunt & Highlights Self-Guided Walking Tour
Travelmom114, Aug 2026
Super informative city tour!
We saw and tried this type of city tour for the first time.Very affordable, without time/group pressure - totally individual, yet incredibly informative.We solved a few puzzles every day and thus found our way around Dresden quite quickly. The puzzles themselves are well-made - not too easy and not too difficult (we were a bit silly with one of them...🤷🏼‍♀️) and you learn a lot of interesting facts about the sights. With the help of the simple navigation, you can easily find the individual points. The tour can be interrupted at any time and continued later.I am already looking forward to the next city trip - certainly with a puzzle walk again!

Night watchman 100% recommended
We booked directly at the tourist information center to get the original night watchmen of the city of Dresden, and it was worth every cent. Patrick was our night watchman, and you can tell he loves and lives his job, and his city. Told and explained very excitingly. Answers every question. Absolutely recommended. The herbal schnapps in particular were well received. Keep it up 👍
