A great way to hit the spots in Dresden. Our guide Annette was very engaging and knowledgeable about Dresden. We really enjoyed seeing the city and learning its history on the bikes. It’s a safe and easy way to see the city. Highly recommended this tour.

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!

Stirring and inspiring guided city tour of Dresden
A very informative city tour stocked with funny and charming insoles. Ms. Renger is very committed and tells us about “her” Dresden with enthusiasm. We have learned a lot of new information about the Frauenkirche. This city tour is really travelling with us. The accompanying tour of the Semper Opera was also very interesting.

We had an excellent city tour, with a lot of information that was very nicely conveyed by Mrs. Renger. My husband is now a fan of guided city tours, which he always refused before. Thank you very much for this great holiday day.

Excellent cycle tour experience.
We had a fantastic bicycle tour of Dresden with Ana. She took us on a less crowded path. We covered the Gothic centre, the palace and opera house, the greener part- the grand garden, residential part and Elbe river from both sides. I enjoyed the cycling on the selected route. Very less traffic and not much of up and down. The stops and her information were excellent. Thank you, Ana.

Excellent tour, good value, lots of interesting stops & easy biking.
Excellent tour with guide, Annette. Fitted out with suitable, well maintained bikes at the start. Had originally booked as English tour, however as we were the only English speaking participants, Annette accommodated with both English & German. What a great way to experience Dresden. Lots of stops at significant points with explanations and history given. The three hours flew by! It was a hot day & Annette managed to squeeze in an ice cream stop, where the locals go, which was really good and appreciated! Would recommend this tour if in Dresden
