Full description

Explore the beautiful Old Town of Dresden with a historical night watchman. Sip on Schlummertrunk, a small alcoholic drink before visiting the main highlights like Semper Opera House, Dresden Frauenkirche, and more.
Begin your tour with rings of the watchman’s horn in narrow alleys, and the light of his lantern which penetrates the darkness. With his halberd, he protects the honorable citizens from vagabonds and shady characters even in the darkest corners.
Look forward to an entertaining tour with spooky stories and juicy anecdotes from centuries past. Furthermore, take a look at the beautiful sights of the city. See the Semper Opera House and the famous Zwinger, walk over the palace square, and get a glimpse of the Brühlschen Terrassen.

wirklich tolle Führung mit unser wunderbaren nachtwaechterin (ich glaube Wahl mit Nachnamen) - originell, interessant. für unsere 11 jährigen Zwillinge und 14j. Teenager war es etwas zu lang, aber sie fanden es insgesamt auch toll. viele interessante Geschichten für erstmalige Dresdenbesucher - absolut zu empfehlen.

The tour was great and very entertaining, could get most of the stories. We have limited German and thought we would get a translation to English.

Very entertaining, the guide did a great job of improvising to account for traffic, construction and other everyday interruptions. Loved her character.
