I have a lot of fun telling travelers about the beautiful city of Dresden! It is not a usual "I tell you a lot of annual data" tour, I rather try to report exciting and unusual things. I am also happy to answer questions as far as I know! At the moment I am officially a guide at the Transparent Factory and will soon take the exams for the Transport Museum and Moritzburg Castle, so I can tell you a little more about it! I always try to be up to date!

We are a team of guides in love with our profession who want to share the unique beauty of this country and its great history. We have over ten years of experience in tourism and travel planning in Europe. We work at the national level in cooperation with friendly guides and excellent local specialists in the main cities of our country.
