HERZLICH WILLKOMMEN IN DRESDEN! I am a fully licensed local guide, also allowed to guide in all museums, gardens, national parks and castles as well as some churches in Dresden and Saxony - Frauenkirche church in particular - and an official member of "Tourismusverband Dresden e. V. " and our German national "Bundesverband der Gästeführer in Deutschland e. V. ". As president of "IG Guides Dresden-Elbland" I share my expertise with six very passionate fellow-guides. I also guide in whole East Germany: Colditz, Bautzen, Gorlitz, Wittenberg, Weimar, Naumburg, and e. g. thematic Luther-Bach-Goethe tours. I graduated from university with diploma in History, Anglistics and Germanistics. However, I am well known as a humorous tourist guide from whose rich knowledge of local events in the present and past and lots of historical anecdotes you will be impressed and never bored! You will learn as much about "History" as about "Herstory" and what "Anglo-Saxon" and "Dollar" has to do with Saxony. Curious? Soon you will get the answer! I would be glad to guide you on compact city tours, day trips, 3-day excursions or even as a tour operator - accompanying your tour completely. Dresden, the splendid residential baroque capital of Saxony, is exactly on the axe Berlin-Prague, heart of Central Europe. You can book me as a guide commenting the way between these two cities. Nazi History, Communist Epoch, Peaceful Revolution - thrilling information on the way. Please read my DRESDEN BLOG (www.toursbylocals.com/blog, then choose "THE DRESDEN MIRACLE") to get the flavour of my great city! - University diploma in History, Anglistics, Germanistics - Special guide licenses in most museums, palaces, churches, gardens and national parks. - "Be a Better Guide" training - President of IG Guides Dresden-Elbeland - Member of Germany's national tourist guide association "Bundesverband der Gästeführer in Deutschland e.V." and "Tourismusverband Dresden e.V."

Overview of your Dresden tour

Discover Dresden with me - Aurora Countess of Königsmarck! I was the first mistress of August the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland. I know to tell you unheard, but amusing anecdotes of love, machinations and treachery in the Saxon Court. Nevertheless, August's splendid baroque residence and capital of Royal Saxony includes countless architecture and art highlights within a short walking distance. I show you: Zwinger Palace, Residential castle, Hofkirche church, Semper Opera, Procession of the Princes, Frauenkirche church, Bruehl Balcony, Old Market with Kreuzkirche church and more. Everybody is welcome! Let yourself enchant by "the most beautiful Lady of two centuries" how Voltaire said into the glorious baroque time of Saxony. Museum guidance on demand.
