New green vault is a must - Very nice and interesting tour, especially in the new green vault. The tour in the Semper Opera was informative, but rather OK.

Dresden with Mrs Renger! Absolutely!! - This was the second time we were able to experience the highlights of Dresden with Ms. Renger! Simply wonderful - knowledgeable and full of background information! Without you, dear Ms. Renger, our visit to beautiful Dresden would have been only half as impressive - thank you very much and all the best!

Does not have to be - The tour by Dr. ... degenerated into an arrogant lecture in a fairy-tale style with lots of theatrical gesticulations. In the foyer 30 minutes, in the hall about 10 minutes. We were glad to be released from the weird "comedy" after 45 minutes. You can save yourself the 14 euros.
