It was an all-round successful day. The Semperoper was great. The night watchman was also great. We learned a lot of interesting things. We will definitely come back to Dresden again.

The guide was uniquely great! Had booked 1.1. at 12 o'clock, her name was Mrs. Salz I think🤷In any case, the woman has in-depth specialist knowledge and conveyed it so entertainingly and eloquently that it was a pleasure to listen to her. I will always have fond memories of this Semperoper tour. Top ! 12 out of 10 points👍
