We had booked the Semperoper and Old Town tour package. I would like to praise Johannes Otto, who gave us an entertaining, pleasant and amusing introduction to the history of the Semperoper and various sights in the historic Old Town. You could easily have listened to him for another 2 to 3 hours. He also responded to questions with great interest. We have rarely experienced such a great tour guide. Keep him around so that many more visitors can enjoy his guided tours. Thank you very much.

The guide was very personable and had a pleasant voice. But the tour of the Semper Opera House was disappointing, I had hoped for more background information. We briefly heard something about Semper in the foyer and on the 1st floor, then we sat in the 1st tier for half an hour. The other guided tours could be heard at the same time. As if time had to be served. The Old Town tour was too short and too general afterwards

The city guide explained the history of Dresden in a relaxed manner and supplemented it with personal experiences. The time was over far too quickly.

The combination of a visit to the Semperoper and the Old Town was good and compact.

Savor Semperoper & Old Town splendor

Begin your exploration at the breathtaking Semperoper, which opened in 1841. With a German-speaking guide leading the way, behold the architectural grandeur of this opera house resting on the Elbe River's bank. Inside, lose yourself in its richly decorated rooms and the expansive auditorium which comfortably seats 1,300+ spectators.

Discover Dresden's diverse delights

The adventure continues in Dresden's Old Town. Immerse yourself in the vibrant city atmosphere as you wander through the Neumarkt neighborhood, sampling delicious local snacks. Marvel at historic landmarks like Zwinger, a grand Baroque palace, and the Dresden Royal Palace, reflecting the city's grand past. The Fürstenzug, a fascinating mural showcasing a procession of Saxony's rulers, and Frauenkirche, a testament to the city's post-WWII reconstruction, add charm to your tour. As you traverse, your well-informed guide will unravel Dresden's intriguing history.
