Great guided tour through Dresdens old town! Our tour guide was easily up to the task of presenting sightseeing attractions with great inside knowledge. Leading from the Zwinger via Schlossplatz, Fürstenzug, Neumarkt and Frauenkirche back to Semperoper, explaining fascinating details of buildings and their historic background. When touring the Semperoper, she provided lots of details on the reconstruction and conservation work required to enjoy the Opera House the way we can visit it today. Highly recomendable tour!
