Lunch was fine, but we felt that going to a Czech restaurant in Germany was a bit of a disappointment. We would have preferred a traditional German meal while in Germany.

I loved the mead and hot wine I tried and Christmas cookies were just delicious as well! I loved to learn about such interesting Christmas traditions of Czech people (finally understood why Santa does not bring presents to Czech republic! And why are all people buying carps like crazy over these holidays). I loved our guide, Misa, she is such an amazing story teller and a very passionate guide, as well as a kind person. You just love to be around her. It…”

Travel from Prague to Dresden with an English-speaking guide such as Hana or Roman. Walk the old town, visit three Christmas markets including the medieval market, taste seasonal foods, and enjoy free time for shopping. The eight-hour trip suits anyone wanting Dresden without arranging transport.

“We had the best trip. Roman collected us at our apartment and from the start everything went smoothly! Roman was our guide and he couldnt have done enough for us! He was beyond helpful, friendly and full of knowledge. We liked how it is a small group and started off with a little historical tour before the markets, we had lots of time at each market we visited. Cant recommend this tour enough thank you again!!”
