I have been working as a tour guide here in Dresden for more than 20 years now. I really enjoy showing my guests the beautiful city of Dresden, its museums and surroundings. For me this means not only to tell you about history, but also about culture, traditions, and the local life here (yesterday and today). I grew up not far from Dresden and now for more than 30 years I have lived here in Dresden and experienced its many changes - especially those the reunification brought about. Every day you can see more of the splendour and treasures of this amazing city. And it will be a pleasure for me to show them to you! What makes Dresden even more fantastic is its breathtaking surrounding. Picturesque old towns like Meissen and impressive rock formations - the Saxon Switzerland - you can also discover with me. I studied English at the Dresden Technical University and spent one year in Great Britain. I am a licensed guide in Dresden and in most of its museums.

This walking tour is for you the best introduction to Dresden. The old town of Dresden is packed with great historical buildings you must not miss. Strolling through the streets I will show to you all those buildings Dresden is famous for. You will be impressed by these highlights and fascinated by the stories I will tell you about them. The Zwinger - Why do people call it "an open air party location"? The Theatre Square with the Opera House - why is Dresden famous as a city of music? The Catholic Court Church - one of the biggest catholic churches of Germany. Here in Saxony - the home of reformation? With the Procession of Princes and my stories I illustrate you not only saxon but also world history. The oldest and also one of the youngest churches of Dresden: the Church of Our Lady. I tell you the moving story about this great symbol of Dresden. Come with me!
This was a perfect introduction to Dresden, and Carola did a wonderful job making it interesting for our three children as well. We are so happy we scheduled this tour and took the time to know the beautiful city of Dresden. Highly recommended. Thank you!
Carola was a perfect guide for us. She was flexible, smart, generous with her time and answered all of our questions with thoughtfulness. All four in our group thought Carola deserved rave reviews. We highly recommend touring Dresden with Carola.
Carola was an excellent tour guide, with a deep, local knowledge of Dresden and its history. I highly recommend her.
Carola was great! Very kind and knowledgable. We had 2 small children with us and she was able to customize our walking tour so we were moving at a pace that worked well for our group. Thanks, Carola!
Carola was great! She covered a lot of history in a short period of time, answered all our questions and gave lots of good advice in addition to being warm and very personable. Another couple of hours in her company would have been well spent.
Our Dresden Tour with Carola was relaxed, informative, and truly enjoyable. We felt as if we had a great overview of the history of the central, historic portion of the city.
During this walking tour I will show to you the highlights of the old town, which are concentrated in a small area. I will show to you all those famous sights like Zwinger, Opera House, Royal Palace, Church of Our Lady (all outside visits). If the churches are open at your visiting time we can also see them from inside. If you like we can add to this walking tour a visit of one of our great art collections. This would extend the tour by an hour or so, just as you like it.
