Private Third Reich History Tour

Overview

This private walking tour from See My Dresden spends two hours on the city's Third Reich history, starting at the Martin Luther statue in front of the Frauenkirche on Neumarkt and finishing at the Old Market Square, the Altmarkt. Because it runs for one group only, the guide asks beforehand what participants already know and what they want to hear more about, then shapes the commentary accordingly. Reviewers describe exactly this: one group said the facts were adjusted to their prior knowledge after being asked in advance, and the result was, in their words, more than excellent.

The route moves through the old town in a set sequence, from the Frauenkirche to the Albertinum, the Jewish Community of Dresden, Bruehlsche Terrasse, the Catholic Hofkirche, the Semper Opera House, the Zwinger and finally the Altmarkt. Stops at each site are brief, around ten to fifteen minutes, and no admission fee is shown at any of them.

It also works well for families with teenagers. One reviewer said the guide kept their teenage son engaged throughout and even rearranged the itinerary to match the family's schedule and interests. Wheelchair users, pushchairs and service animals are all accommodated, and the meeting point sits near public transport.
