“It was a great way to get a good overview of the city. The walking tour is 1.5 hours. We skipped it due to lack of time. The Zwinger Palace grounds have been completely dug up, so it is a little challenging to get around to the 3 museums on the premises. The sound on thr English audio guide on the bus was quite scratchy and was difficult to hear. There are plenty of these buses running around the city, so they are quite easy to catch.”
A 4-hour guided Dresden old-city beer tour from the Zwinger, tasting Zwickel and Saxon fare, ending with a hearty dinner.
“Die Tour war interessant und mit Humor gestaltet. Die Zwischenstationen zum Bier trinken und essen waren an sich sehr schön und nett, um einen Eindruck zu bekommen, wo man vielleicht mal einkehren möchte. Etwas unglücklich war hier jedoch das Zeitmanagement. So musste man das Bier meist gefühlt "runterstürzen" und hatte teilweise nur wenige Minuten in den Locations, der Weg dahin musste auch sehr zügig bestritten werden. Ich denke es wäre sinnvoller, insbesondere wenn man nur 6 Teilnehmende hat, zu erzählen, während man gemütlich weiterläuft. So müsste man nicht so hetzen und hätte mehr Zeit in den Locations.”
