    Thank you very much for your kind feedback. I’m delighted to hear you had a wonderful experience, and I would be happy to welcome you back to explore more of the city in the future. Your recommendation is truly appreciated.

    A great tour guide in a hidden gem of a city!

    We didn’t know what to expect from Dresden and ended up very pleasantly surprised. Our tour guide Cosima was wonderful! She began by asking if there was anything specific we wanted to see or focus on, but we left it up to her. The old town has been very well reconstructed. Cosima described Dresden’s past, both 100s of years ago as well as the last ~50years as both have shaped what it looks like today. We only had an afternoon while traveling between Berlin and Prague, having the private tour was well worth it to us to see the city in such a short amount of time. I would highly recommend Cosima as your guide when you are in Dresden.

    Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that Dresden exceeded your expectations and that Cosima made your short visit so memorable. It’s great to know her insights into both the city's rich history and its more recent past added depth to your experience. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words—she’ll be delighted. We hope to welcome you again someday!

    Beautiful City

    My husband and I met our guide, Helga under the statue of King Johann. Helga was on time but was confused as she thought she was going on a bus trip. Helga was very knowledgeable and we took our time exploring the baroque architecture and discovering various beautiful buildings such as The Zwinger and the Semper Opera House and the procession of Princes. However, Helga did not engage with us, didn’t offer to take photos. We had to ask, and when we reached Neumarkt, which I said I loved, didn’t offer to walk us around. She told us that the tour has now ended. We stayed static outside the Frauenkirche and we had 15 minutes left! If a tour advertises that it for two hours, then you expect to get your moneys worth and have a two hour tour. Not one hour and 45 minutes! We left, feeling disappointed as we had travelled from Berlin for the day.

    Response from Host, Nov 2023

    Dear traveler, We deeply regret the oversight in the engagement and timing of the tour, and we are taking immediate steps to address these issues internally. Due to a technical glitch, there was a miscommunication about the nature of the tour. Thank you for your understanding. Tina
