This was an ideal tour for my first full day in Dresden. Thomas was friendly, enthusiastic, and informative. He provided our small group an over two-hour overview of the history and art of the city. He also gave excellent recommendations for restaurants. Highly recommended tour.

I would book our tour guide Thomas any time again. It was a great tour around Dresden. It was very interesting, never boring to listen to him because of his entertaining way of talking and as a local of Dresden he had a lot of first-hand experience and knowledge around the development of the city. We learnt a lot and after checking out some of his recommended food spots we were very glad we took his advice. It was an experience worth all the money and a really good time we won't forget!

It was a very nice city tour, and the guide, Thomas, made it very interesting, insightful, and entertaining. The two-hour long tour could have been longer :). There is no overload of information, but the necessary insights to learn more about the architecture and history of the city. Thank you very much.
