If falling in love with a city and moving mountains to be able to live there counts, then I am definitely a true-blue local. It was love at first sight and I have lived in Dresden since 2009. In these years I have explored its cobbled streets, studied the history, delved into its past to unearth stories and have immersed myself in its present. I am, frankly speaking, besotted with my adopted city. A post graduate in Psychology, I worked in the field of counselling for many years and am now a passionate historian as well. My mother, who was taken aback by my new career choice, decided that her daughter was now working in the field of psycho-history! Turns out, surprisingly, that there is actually such a term used for those who examine the 'why' of history and not just the facts. Well, I like that very much indeed! My tours reflect my desire to find connections, join the dots, look at the bigger context and the human motivations that shape events. This very drive was the one that led me to create the Third Reich Tour and also study the post WW2 period and the impact of the Cold War on Saxony. For those guests who do not want to delve into such aspects, my tours can be fun, interesting and relaxed as well. Over the years, I have studied continuously and gained permission to guide in the various museums of Dresden. Therefore if you wish to combine the tour of the city with a visit to the Royal Palace or Old Masters Gallery, or even the Stasi Museum, it isn't a problem at all. Or we could leave the city behind and undertake an excursion to a neighbouring sight such as Schloss Pliinitz, Saxon Switzerland, Meissen or Leipzig. In a nutshell, lets work it out together so that you can make the most out of your stay in Dresden, Saxony. Write to me! Master's degree in Psychology. Certified guide in Dresden City and member of the Dresden Guides Association as well as of the Federal Association of Guides in Germany. In addition to being a certified guide for Dresden city, I also hold the following licences: The New Green Vault Museum in Dresden The Old Masters Gallery, Dresden The Meissen Porcelain Factory Schloss Pillnitz I am also allowed to guide in the Stasi Memorial in Dresden and can guide you through the cities of Meissen and Leipzig as well. Due to constraints, I cannot act as a driver-guide. I can arrange for a car and driver. My German fluency is conversational but asking me to do a tour in German would be torturous for both you and me :-) Let's stay with English! PS: In case you see me marked as ‘unavailable or busy’ during a weekday when you are here, please do check with me anyway. I may be able to make myself available.

    Seema is great in all ways! She knows her history and is very well informed. Next to that she has a very interesting psychological to the horrors of WW2, challenges you to think and explain! When she talks it feels you’re actually in this era. Very special. Also she knows a lot about the city as well and has good tips en recommendations!

    Thank you so much for your review and kind words. It was special for me as well, especially the discussions, the interaction and the mutual expanding of knowledge. I loved being able to go into the psychological perspectives as well since it is my speciality after all!

    When we booked the tour of the porcelain factory, Meissen castle and cathedral we were unsure what to expect but this experience far exceeded our expectations. And the cherry on top was having Seema as our guide. She went above and beyond to provide us with the best day ever!! We would highly recommend Seema!! Thank you, Jacque and Woody Key

    We arrived in Dresden with no luggage and we were tired. Our mood was not the best when we met Seema. She completely changed our attitude. She was a delight to be with and we loved our tour. She was so knowledgeable and kept our interest. She tailored the tour according to what we wanted to see, and she had great advice for how to see some other attractions not on the...

    Dear Gina, thank you for your generous and warm review. I was truly impressed by your enthusiasm and positivity despite the trying circumstances.

Happy travels to the both of you. With luggage in tow of...
