In this rare opportunity, Dr Fraser Macdonald, anthropologist and historian, takes you on a deep journey into the hidden 700 year history of Dresden before, during, and after it became an icon of Baroque splendour. Across visits to a range of crucial sites in the city, you will learn of the prehistoric significance of the Elbe Valley for Paleolithic and Neolithic populations, the ancient origins of Dresden as a small fishing village, its growth from a tiny city to a flourishing centre of the Holy Roman Empire, the enormous impact of Luther's Reformation, as well as the damage and destruction produced by centuries of warfare.

Here the tour begins on the banks of the Elbe where Dresden was first permanently settled. We will pause to consider the history, culture, language, and eventual displacement of the people who first lived here.

5.00I had an outstanding tour with Fraser. He introduced me to parts of Dresden I would never have discovered on my own. There’s so much more to this city than the Baroque postcard landmarks! His knowledge of the city’s history was deep and engaging, and he explained everything in a way that made it easy to connect the past with what I was seeing. The pacing was perfect and the route thoughtful. Fraser combines expertise with warmth and genuine enthusiasm for Dresden. I left with a far richer understanding of the city and its stories. Highly recommended booking with him if you want a memorable and meaningful experience.
A lovely walk through the history of Dresden - highly recommended

5.00We had a lovely walk through Dresden’s beautiful and historic city streets with Fraser. He is very knowledgeable and engaging about Dresden’s history, buildings and architecture. We had a chance to see inside some of the beautiful churches and take in the views of a truly breathtaking skyline. We also saw areas and buildings outside of the Altstadt that are well worth a visit, but are not high on any “Dresden highlights” Google search. It didn’t feel rushed and Fraser made us all feel very welcome and took time to chat to us all personally. A lovely guy, great guide, highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Must book!

5.00My sister and I joined Dr. Fraser Macdonald’s walking tour of Dresden on a slightly rainy day in October, and it was absolutely worth it. Dr. Macdonald is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s 700-year history, but he also has a gift for making that history come alive. He shared fascinating stories and pointed out hidden corners and details we never would have found on our own. What really set this tour apart was his approachable and engaging style. He encouraged questions, made everyone feel welcome, and struck a perfect balance between covering the major landmarks, like Augustus Bridge and the Residenzschloss, and introducing us to the lesser-known parts of the city. The rain didn’t matter at all, we walked away feeling like we had truly connected with Dresden in a deeper way. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city!
