Historic Dresden walking tour - Unlike some other small walking group leaders, this fellow was professional enough to have a yellow umbrella so he could be identified at the beginning when it's so difficult to find the group. He was well informed and courteous.

Comprehensive history in a short amount of time. My perfect type of tour! - Our tour guide was excellent and provided a thorough picture of Dresden’s history, particularly as it related to the Saxony region and WW2. The walk was lovely with many beautiful sites to see! 10/10 would do it again.

Fun and interesting tour - Great tour covering 800 years of history in an interesting and informative manner (and with good jokes too!). Nicola made sure that everyone kept up and answered questions generously.

Great intro to the city - Great tour with Nicola whose English was excellent. Very good levels of detail and pace. We covered a lot in just over 2 hours and highly recommended. Only critiscm is his political leanings shone through at times and a pretty unbalanced account of the Dresden Bombings but otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wasn’t looking to join a Free Walk Tour - So Viator charges €25 for this ! And the tour guide says they make only €10 from this. So we get guilt tripped into tipping them! Viator doesn’t mention that this is a free walking tour. Kind of unfair that i paid €46 in total for this! The tour is good and has the same limitations of those free walking tours. Too much info and less places covered. The icing on the cake is when the tour guide takes everything personally and argues with other guests sharing different opinions or views.

Needs improvement - Nick knew the historical stuff, but as a guide he has many areas to improve, he can add humour to the entire tour and also plan his tour details a little better, the last time I took the radius tour, it was with an English professor (Mike if I recall correctly), that was really amazing, he made the entire tour very interesting, and also dropped me at the train station and helped me book the tickets. So depends on which tour guide you get.
