Dresden Old Town private tour: 2 hrs. 130€
Get the best start to the city with this private 2 hour comprehensive and engaging tour. You guide will show you the historic city centre, the iconic landmarks and narrate the stories of the people and events that shaped it. Learn about Dresden's evolution from a slavic fishing village, through the medieval and Renaissance times to the WW2 and after.
Time and Meeting point: Pick a time that suits you. The same goes for the starting point. If in the city centre, the guide will meet you at your hotel and begin the tour from there.
Customise content: Have the tour tailored to your special interests. For example, some of our guests are interested in the World War 2 or Cold War times, some in the culinary aspects of Dresden, others in architecture or music history while a majority of our guests want a general, but accurate introduction to the city on the whole. Whatever your desired focus, the guides in our team orient themselves accordingly. We are all certified, with varying interests and levels of experience.
You will also be given insider tips on what to see and do next.
Fit For A King: Dresden Walking Tour combined with one of the State Art Collections. 3.5 hours. 250€
Combine the walking tour with either a visit to the newly restored Royal Palace or to the Old Masters Picture Gallery in the Zwinger.
The Royal Palace is an awe inspiring series of rooms- each a breathtaking spectacle on its own. The sumptuous newly restored and reconstructed State Rooms are a demonstration of sheer wealth and power, while the New Green Vault with its intricate art treasury is a goldsmiths delight. Ranging from the spectacular to the minute, this is a visit that will engage your rapt attention without overwhelming you.
Alternatively you can choose to visit the the Old Masters Picture Gallery where an immense collection consisting of paintings by Reubens, Rembrandt, Vermeer or Titain, amongst others, reside. As of 2019, the gallery now hosts the sculpture collection as well and has been curated with loving attention, juxtaposing sculpture with paintings to help the visitor understand how the two inspired each other.
You will be led though the museum by a licensed guide. As far a possible, the same guide will do the walking as well as the museum tour, to enable continuity.
In case you wish to do all three, it will also be possible. Please allow for 5 hours, which would include a small break. Write in for details on how to plan this.
Please note that the Royal Palace closes on Tuesdays and The Painting Gallery on Mondays.

About Seema
Dresden captured my heart and changed my life the moment I set foot in it on a sunny day in March 2009. I came here as a tourist only to return to India to pack my bags and bid a heart wrenching goodbye to my family. Dresden's legendary rising- from -the- ashes story resonated with my own and filled me with hope to begin afresh. More than a decade later my fascination and admiration for the city still continues to grow. I look forward to revealing the many sides of this multi-faceted city to you. I am licensed as a guide by IHK (The Chamber of Industry & Commerce) for the city of Dresden and have continued to learn so as to deepen my knowledge. I am qualified to guide in the Royal Palace and New Green Vault, The Old Masters Gallery, Meissen Manufaktur, Schloss and Garden Pillnitz and the Stasi Memorial. |

The See My Dresden core team
I have been very fortunate to find colleagues equally passionate about Dresden and about delivering high quality tours. When not running these tours, we are likely to be found researching, reading and developing new ones. This has given rise to a smorgasbord of possible tours for you to choose from. Meet the team!

Not our favourite ruler, but the first Saxon King Friedrich August does provide the best meeting point to begin our small group, shared walking tours. He sits on Schlossplatz and we meet in front of his statue. Private tours may begin elsewhere!
