Top 10 Private Tours in Dresden, Saxony
On the banks of the lovely Elbe River, the German city of Dresden is lush and green, filled with forests and gardens and parks. The city is rich with cultural and artistic history; the great operatic composer Wilhelm Wagner debuted a number of works here in the 1800s and, today, an independent light opera company keeps the classical art form modern and fresh. Culture vultures will love the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister and Grünes Gewölbe museums, and architecture buffs will salivate over the mélange of styles reflected in the cityscape.

I used Thomas Travel and Vadim as my tour guide on a recent trip to Prague. I ended up booking 4 private trips with him around Czech Republic and Eastern Germany. There is so much to see! Cesky Krumlov is a real gem! I really enjoyed Vadim’s personal approach and encyclopaedic knowledge of the history. He also gave me lots of ideas of what little secret places to see in Prague itself. The car was very nice too. If you want to have an experienced and reliable tour guide in that region, look no further.
3. The Third Reich in Dresden- private tour
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Third Reich Tour in Dresden provides an insight to how the Nazis came to power and sustained it to the bitter end against the backdrop of events in Dresden. As the capital of the richest and most densely populated region of Germany at that time, and one of the cultural centres of the Reich, Dresden was in the centre of attention of the regime. Since the tour also covers the major landmarks of the historic city of Dresden it can be the perfect choice for those who who want to see the city centre, but also have an interest in this special topic. The tour is led by a local guide who is not of German origin. This made her ask questions and dig deep in order to understand the events that took place in this turbulent time. The tour content arose out of these years of personal enquiry and interest in the subject. As this is a private tour, it can be customized and personalized according to your wishes.
Inclusions: A well researched tour with a guide who is passionate and informed about the subject., The information is customized and delivered in an engaging and interesting manner.

Wonderful walking tour of Dresden with Seema! She was very knowledgeable and not only answered all of our questions, but offered lots of related info. We expected a group tour, but we were the only ones who showed up, and it was great to have the “private” tour with Seema. What a wonderful city!

I thought this tour was pretty blah-didn't learn much, not very fun. The drinks that were included was 1 strange shot in an empty bar and another strange shot on a street corner. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this. Perhaps with a different guide it would be much better.

If you are in Meissen, go for the Stadtkirche (central market place) and ask if you are allowed to climb the tower. Currently, the tower is under renovation so please ask in the Tourist office opposite of the Stadtkirche for the key. You've to pay 2 EUR and then you can climb up the tower. There are several levels to climb: 1st the stone steps, 2nd a wooden stair, then the higher you climb at last a tiny ladder but you'll be awarded with a fantastic look over Meissen. See it yourselves and report……. :-)

Hands down just amazing!!! From the moment I booked the communication with the Tour company was outstanding. Peter(the driver) picked me up at the airport and we drove to meet Kevin (the tour guide) at the castle. They both took the time to answer all my questions and explained the rich history of Prague. The tour was truly tailored for me (including the bathroom runs ????). I 100% recommend Kevin and Peter. I was able to see alot in the little time I had available. So if you have limited time this is the way to go. One last thing as a solo female traveler safety is always a concern of mine, I felt safe at all times. P.S. Viator. Peter and Kevin are a power team!

yes this is a must as everyone knows of the significance of the gates. The sight is easy to find and one can walk all around it it, under it and as such you are able to take a million photos for your collection. Note around the back of the embassy is the Jewish memorial which is worth a look whilst you are there.

If I could give negative rating I would. The tour suppose to be in English, but somehow another party was added with French. No information, no history, hard to understand (maybe French part was better). After 3 hours of struggle we quit, not worth the money paid.
