“To start with we were not given head phones so had no idea what we were seeing. The listing said buss arrives every 15 minutes, it was actually every 60 minutes:-(! So no real chance to hop off as none of the stops are worthy of 60 minutes.”

8.Guided Beer Tour of the Historic Old City

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 95 reviews · 4 hours · from $82

Review of Dresden’s four-hour beer tour, with historic sights, Zwickel tasting, Saxon food, guide Mathilda, price, and practical tips.

“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.”
