We loved our tour with Karen. She gave us a long-term history of Dresden and also a current view of changes in the last twenty years. She was very knowledgeable and told the most interesting stories in an entertaining way. We were mesmerized the whole 2 1/2 hours we were with her.

This tour was brilliant. We only had a small group which is why we chose this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the area. It felt like we were walking around with an old friend.
