Dresden becomes the crime scene in this self-guided detective game, where the clues are hidden in plain sight in the streets around you. The case is the murder of Balthasar, and the evidence is scattered across the old centre - past Kathedrale Sanctissimae Trinitatis, Dresden Transport Museum, Frauenkirche Dresden and Semperoper Dresden. You decode messages, photograph what does not add up and press digital witnesses whose stories never quite line up. Every puzzle you crack removes a name from the list of suspects. Play as a couple, bring the children along, or send two or three teams out at the same time and turn the investigation into a race - which is what makes this murder mystery game work as well for a team outing as for a day out. The last answer is waiting somewhere in the centre of Dresden.

What are people saying about Dresden

Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland Small Group Tour from Dresden

Tracy_W, Sep 2026

Great tour with Saxon Tours

The guide and driver were very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time at each of the locations. Great views at Bastei Bridge (expect it to be crowded). The hike up to Pravcicka gate was about 3km. Beautiful area but could be challenging for non-hikers. The Tisa walls were a really fascinating area with not too many people. Highly recommend! Also the traditional Czech lunch was delicious!

Dresden History & Stories Walking Tour w/ Dr Fraser Macdonald PhD

Caroline_R, Sep 2026

Time well

This experience was very informative in such an enjoyable way. Fraser, our guide, was perfect for the tour and provided the right number of viewings for the allotted time with clear explanations of what the time period might have been like. He showed us the sights and answered our questions without us ever feeling like we were running out of time. The tour truly brought more understanding of the history of this interesting city. I would recommend this tour early in your stay as it will pique your interest to learn more.

Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland All inlusive trip - Fantasy Tour

Sarah_S, Jun 2026

The views at the three...

The views at the three stops on this trip were amazing and more than I expected. The hike up to the Arch was more intense that I thought it was going to be but still anyone in moderate shape can do it if they take their time. The hike up is definitely worth it! The restaurant for lunch had excellent food and a great view of the Arch and surrounding scenery. Our guide and driver were locals with a lot of information and more than happy to talk with us.

Historic Dresden Private Walking Tour

Elio_C, Jun 2026

Excellent private tour Dresden Historical Building Tour by a guide who is also an architect

Our group of 6 people signed up for this tour after completing our cycling tour. We wanted a brief but comprehensive overview of the history of Dresden before departing. We had Sylvia as our tour guide and she was excellent! It really helped that she is also an architect and could explain the buildings in much more detail. We really enjoyed this wonderful private tour!

Hassle-free Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland Trip from Dresden

Tamas_S, Jun 2026

Highly recommended tour from Dresden

Let me start my feedback on the people who made this day possible. First of all, many thanks to our guide Dalibora who provided us with great commentary in both English and Spanish and she offered me her seat next to the driver because the seat I was supposed to sit on was broken. She also helped sorting my lunch at the restaurant when I was served something other than what I ordered. I really appreciated her gestures. She is also a walking encyclopedia, she knew every little detail about the places we visited. Continuing with the people, we actually had 3 drivers during the day. The 1st driver was Milos who didn't speak much English but he also didn't make us feel safe in the van. He used quick steering wheel moves trying not to crash into incoming traffic and he also almost crashed into traffic standing at traffic lights, breaking hardly at the very last minute instead of slowing down normally. These are just a few examples to illustrate my negative feedback on him and the other participants were also complaining about his careless driving. The 2nd driver Milan was fantastic, I had a great chat with him (in English) and he drove safely and carefully. I didn't catch the name of our 3rd driver who drove us back to our hotels but he knew a little English and he was a great driver as well. The experience itself was exactly as advertised, we were taken to great photo spots and walked across the Bastei Bridge before going to visit the Pravčická Archway in Czech Republic, which was a place where hiking shoes are recommended over ordinary sneakers. Then we had lunch where 1 drink was also included, I had a delicious pint of dark Kozel on draft. We then visited the Kamenice Gorge which is absolutely beautiful. We hopped in a boat large enough to fit everyone and went on a lovely boat trip on the Kamenice River. There was a lot of walking the whole day, since I booked the Hiking version of this tour but it was worth it and we had an amazing day.

Soraya_P, Apr 2026

Not to be missed - a great day!

This truly was such a wonderful day. Milan & Dalibora were exceptional, friendly, informative & really made the day memorable. The sights we saw in Saxony Switzerland were incredible & every one of them was a highlight. The lunch was very good, with great views to the mountains. Milan was a great driver & Dalibora was a delight. I am very glad I did this tour - the Bastei Bridge, Riverboat Gorge & the Stone “Forest” was amazing 👌👌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

Bastei Bridge, Pravcicka Gate & Narnia Rocks Tour from Dresden

Dave_D, Apr 2026

Great Way to Spend the Day Away From Dresden

This was a great out of doors experience. We went to 3 different sites, all with there each unique scenery and things that made them special. We also had the perfect weather for this hike, temps in the 50's. It does get chilly up at the top, so layer up. Our guide was Andrea and she was outstanding. She is from the area and knows anything and everything about the sites. Be prepared to walk a lot (I got 20K steps) and the second hike is uphill, so wear comfy shoes or hiking shoes. I would definitely do this tour again.
