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 Leipzig tour

Discover Leipzig with me! The booming merchant, music, and book city with its famous trade fair since 1497 - a European platform for the exchange of exotic and newly invented products. Have a cup of coffee in medieval "Auerbachs Keller" where Dr. Faustus sold his soul to Mephisto! With pleasure I will show you my favourite restaurants. For music friends: J. S. Bach himself lived and worked in this wonderful city most of his life - as well as Mendelssohn! Wagner and Clara Schumann are born in Leipzig, Handel, Telemann, Schutz are born nearby. Here you are in MUSIC LAND! Today Leipzig has a modern, nearly youthful appearance with a lot of historic buildings. You will see Thomas Church, the Renaissance City Hall, Nicolai Church (the origin of the "Peaceful Revolution" which finally lead to German Reunification in 1989), Renaissance Boerse, and splendid museums. Please note: Church visits depend on opening times. I love music! Please let me know if you like to visit a concert.
