Guru walks are always great and so was this one. As an English and History teacher Paul was perfectly suited for this tour plus he aims to make it humorous. A very good insight into the history of Dresden and the significance of its buildings with good enlivening anecdotes both historical and personal. Some good tips on where to go and where to eat also.
