We had so much fun with Illia! He did such a great job telling us all he’s learned about Prague, the Czech Republic, Dresden and Germany. Old Dresden was our favorite, especially the church we visited. I also felt like the van was super comfy with a microphone that made it easier to hear Illia’s commentary! If you have a chance to choose the castle (in Pilsner maybe?) do it! There’s a quaint pottery shop facing the river with affordable and local handmade pottery!

5 out of 5 stars

Dresden is a very interesting city for its history and we had a great time with our tour guide Illia. He knew a lot of details of every spot and place we went to and made our time enjoyable. It was a private and comfortable tour so we ended very happy with the experience.

5 out of 5 stars

The guide was very helpful, knowledgeable, and showed us many places we had no idea about. We learned a ton about Dresden and thoroughly enjoyed our trip. My son said this was the best tour he has ever been on! I cannot recommend Arkway tours enough.

5 out of 5 stars

High fun factor, a different/special kind of city tour; you see things that you wouldn't otherwise see as a day tourist (by car or on foot).
