Wir waren in kleiner Gruppe von 7 Leuten unterwegs. Unser Guide war sehr sympathisch, konnte alle Fragen beantworten, hat uns viel erzählt und konnte ihr umfangreiches Wissen gar nicht alles unterbringen! ☺️ Die Zeit verging wie im Flug. Empfanden den Rundgang als perfekten Einstieg in die Erkundung der hist. Altstadt. Empfehlenswert!

Wir waren mit der Buchung diesen Aktivitäten absolut zufrieden. Treffpunkt war gut beschrieben und ist leicht zu finden. Unsere Guide verfügte über fundiertes Wissen über Dresden, seine Sehenswürdigkeiten. Sie konnte das interessant und leicht verständlich rüber bringen. Sogar unsere Kinder (13 und 8) waren begeistert.

Wir haben uns ganz spontan zu der Stadtführung entschlossen und haben es nicht bereut. Natalie hat uns mit ihrer erfrischenden Art viel über Dresden erzählt. Und auch die Stadtführung zu Fuß bietet sich in Dresden an, da alle sehenswerten Bauwerke sehr nahe beieinander stehen. Der historische Rundgang bietet sich optimal an, um sich schnell einen Überblick zu verschaffen. Kann ich unbedingt weiterempfehlen :-)
