The walking tour leads you through the historic Old Town of Dresden with the Zwinger Palace, Frauenkirche, Semper Opera House, Cathedral and many more, presented with wit, charme and expertise.
After the walk it is time to relax: Enjoy a bus drive around the most beautiful parts of Dresden.

We will drive along the Saxon Wine Route and you will see the original picturesque rural villages of fishermen and wine makers on your way to the magnificent park of Pillnitz Palace.

On a walking tour through the palace park of Pillnitz you will experience many wonders of nature and gardening. You will see incredible plants, such as the 200 year old camelia, splendid speciemens of redwood trees, sycamores, ginkos or orange and lemon trees that are over 300 years old, still bearing fruit. Secret labyrinths of hedges, cozy places and a natural pavillion of love remain unforgettable.
You will stroll over the symmetrically laid out lawns with opulent flowers in the styles of French baroque and English landscape gardening art. You will hear exciting stories about amorous adventures of the kings of Saxony and also important political events that formed Europen history.
