DresdenWalks welcomes you in 2011
Wednesday, January 12th, 2011
What an eventful year 2010! We had the pleasure to show our beautiful Dresden to many interested and friendly guests from far and wide. Thereby we mastered together with our guests many a freak weather, ear-piercing events and Christmassy pushing and shoving.
There was some redeployment in the DresdenWalks-Team: two new ladies enrich now our bubbly troop â Rike and Susann Wuschko. Their pictures and description will appear on our website soon.
Now we look forward to a new year with many guests. See you soon at a walking tour with DresdenWalks!

DresdenWalks and the international tourist guide day
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
On Sunday, Februar 21st 2010, DresdenWalks invited Germans for a special (free) tour offered because of the international tourist guide day. Itâs main topic was âIt reeks of work…â.
We greeted approximately 60 persons at 11 oâclock to our tour. Saskia, Astrid, Tom, Anke and Jana were the ârealay teamâ. Heidi and Sylvia took care of our individual guest who joined the âordinaryâ tours and Katharina stayed home with her âjuniorsâ.
For this special topic âIt reeks of work…â our guides thought of new and forgotten objects and topics. So we talked about mechanics of the Semper Opera House, the former tanners quarter and the âqueckâ water fountain, the Procession of Princes with its various craftsmen, Saxon inventions in food and beverages and about the Yenidze and its cigarettes. Guests listened to each guide and stayed with us until the end even though it started snowing.
It was a wonderful tour for all of us. We enjoyed it a lot and look forward to the next tourist guide day in 2011 and until then â to many guests for our daily tours in town.
