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!

Wolfgang, who saves us when we need an extra (-ordinary) hand

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!
