We were able to take part in the tour a quarter of an hour beforehand. Unfortunately, we don't remember the name of the lady who gave the tour at 1.45 pm, but we were very satisfied with the tour and enjoyed it very much. Kind regards Elke Braun

Very nice tour, with insights without having the feeling that the next group is already waiting at the back. I would have liked to take a look behind the scenes, i.e. backstage, cloakrooms....

The Semperoper is definitely worth seeing. We were thrilled. The guide was very friendly and entertaining. We didn't think it was right to have to pay extra for taking photos.

The somewhat delayed start was quickly forgotten thanks to Mr. Berger's great tour. A very pleasant, competent and friendly man.

Save money and experience the best of Dresden with this combo ticket, offering a guided tour of Semperoper and an after-hours walk around the city with the Night Watchman.

Explore Semperoper with a guide

On a 45-minute guided tour, choose between English or German commentary as you dive into the Semperoper Opera House's history. Learn how it rose from the ashes twice, meticulously rebuilt after fires and wartime destruction. Your guide will point out architectural gems like the ceiling frescoes and the horseshoe-shaped auditorium, designed to ensure optimal acoustics. Look up and discover the 4 panthers guarding the Semperoper's rooftop. These aren't mere decorations – they're symbolic guardians honoring Dionysus, the Greek god of theater, wine, and festivity.

See Dresden after dark

As dusk settles, go on a captivating 1.5-hour night watchman tour. Your costumed guide, complete with a traditional lantern and halberd, will lead you on a journey through Dresden's historic center. Sip on a complimentary Schlummertrunk, a warm, spiced nightcap, to fuel your exploration. See the Frauenkirche, a Lutheran church rebuilt after WWII destruction, the Zwinger Palace, a baroque gem dating back to the 18th century.
