There was a lot of interesting little side information on subjects that you don't get from history books but only from insiders. In addition, at the end, where you can still walk away... there was also a good mood at the start and everything was presented in a funny way. ;-)

Really a great tour! The guide was very funny, entertaining, had lots of funny anecdotes to tell. Nevertheless, the tour was very informative and nonetheless very entertaining and exciting! The next day we did a guided tour with the night watchman because we liked it so much! For all those who are a bit interested in the history of Dresden, but do not want it to be wrapped up too dryly, I can really, very, very good conscience recommend this tour. Really, really great!

It was a nice and informative tour, the night watchman was easy to understand, and he sang a little, which was very good for tourists who didn't speak German well. Showed Dresden's old town very well in a short time and explained it in a beautiful evening atmosphere.
