The 90 minutes flew by. With three night watchmen on duty, the participants were able to spread out well among the groups, making the tour pleasant and not overcrowded. We received a lot of interesting information about the history of Dresden and its impressive buildings, including the Semper Opera, the Zwinger, and the Frauenkirche. The stories were told in an entertaining, lively manner with a lot of humor, so it was never boring. A successful mix of history, culture, and entertainment. We had a lot of fun on the tour – a clear recommendation for all visitors to Dresden!
The night watchman tour with Brother Peter was very interesting, informative, and exceptionally funny. With a lot of knowledge, exciting stories, and a good dose of humor, he entertained us excellently. Time flew by, and we learned a lot about the city and its history. We would participate in the tour again at any time and can only recommend it further. Thank you very much for this great experience! 😊
Thanks to Peter our night watchman. Very entertaining and yet informative and pointed with one or the other stair joke of the story!! Thank you, highly recommended!!
Very informative, nice guy. A little too much confession
Duration 90 min. : definitely dress warm in winter. Great guided tour with booze, beautiful and funny anecdotes
We arrived 20 minutes before scheduled time and waited at the meeting point. There was no sign of anybody. We went around the statue several times in search of the group. We gave up 15 minutes after the scheduled meeting. There was no way to contact the guide, and as the meeting point was very busy, we find it very unfortunate. As there was no experience for us, we kindly ask for refund of the cost.
With the weather (-3°) there should be more movement. We stood in one place for about 40 minutes. The narrative was multifaceted
Very entertaining and informative. Big praise to the night watchman. Can really only be recommended!
It was a normal tour with someone dressed like a night watchman. Every now and then there were moments when attempts were made to legitimize the costume. But actually it was rather disappointing.
The night watchman tour in Dresden is not to be missed. A truly lively guided tour with the Night Nightwatchman Gottfried
