Join our small group shared walking tour. Or scroll down further to see our private tour offers. After Christmas, the small group tours will resume April 2025
For four years now, our group tours have been the to-go option for visitors to Dresden, making the city come alive with real stories and interesting information. We try and keep our groups small so that you can hear and connect with us. We walk you through Dresden Old Town with its iconic landmarks and at the same time show you intriguing little details not noticed without a local guide. You get plenty of insider tips as well!
Tours can last between 90 mins to 2 hours. Language is English.
During Advent, when Dresden glitters with its many Christmas Markets, the tour will also wind its way around and through some of them. We will tell you about some Christmas traditions, about the special cakes and genuine mulled wine. You can then enjoy and explore them at your own leisure afterwards.
Join us by booking through the platforms such as Viator, GetYourGuide or Airbnb, or directly through this website. You can also just arrive at the meeting point 10 minutes before the tour begins and register on the spot. We look forward to you!

Dresden Old Town private tour: 2 hrs. 140€
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 the founder of
|
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!
Meet the MEETING POINT!
Not our most 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!
