Dresden Private Tour

We had a fabulous 3-hour private tour of Dresden with Seema. Seema is very knowledgeable, warm and very flexible. I would recommend Seema to anyone who wish to understand Dresden and its history better!

Absolutely First Rate Service from Seema!

My group of eight just finished two days with Seema as part of a visit to share in the February 13, 2025 commemoration of the city's WWII destruction. I am a US based professional cultural tour operator and had approached Seema to develop and lead our party. i have been associated with many guides over the past twenty years and I have to say that Seema stands with the very best professionals in this category. Highly subject knowledgeable and with an impressive delivery she has made our visit extra special and received highly positive comments from the mature, well traveled group members. I would have no hesitation in recommending Seema.

Thank you Seema!

Seema provided us with excellent recommendations and truly listened to what we were interested in seeing. Her deep knowledge of Dresden's history was evident, and she answered all of our questions with great detail. She also shared some older photographs with us, which made a huge impact and brought the history to life in a way that was unforgettable. We stayed very close to historic downtown, and had we explored on our own, we may not have left with such a deep understanding of the land’s rich history. I never would have paid such close attention to the details without her guidance. Seema’s way of connecting with us made us feel at ease, and we’re so grateful for the insights she shared.

Exceptional tour

We spent 2 hours with Seema on a very cold day but the tour was so interesting, fun, and informative that it went by very fast. We loved Dresden and everything she showed us. She even had pictures of before and after WW2 to give us a real idea of everything that has happened to this beautiful city since it was founded in the Middle Ages. She also provided insight on German traditions and customs that despite having spent time in other places in Germany we didn’t know about. Couldn’t recommend Seema more to show you Dresden!

Walking with Laura 24/12/2023

As a first time visitor to Germany and Dresden from Sydney, Australia with my son and his 3 daughters who went on a different adventure today, it was a great pleasure to have Laura as my guide. We had a small group of 8 people from Prague, USA and Singapore. Laura has a great knowledge of facts and the history of Dresden. Laura delivers her commentary factually interlaced with her good sense of humour. She also engaged with us individually at different stages which I thought was a nice touch. I will highly recommend 'See my Dresden' to everyone if I get the chance. I would also like to thank Karen and Seema for their assistance today. I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2024. Kind regards, Wendy (Carol) Wilson

Private tour of Dresden

Our family of 3 took the train from Berlin to Prague, and stopped for four hours in Dresden. Laura, our guide, met us at the train station, and took us for a tour of the city. We had a wonderful time, and felt like we truly got an idea of what Dresden is like. Laura was able to answer any questions we had, showed us around at our own pace, and shared the history of the city. It was a perfect stop on our trip!

Great Overview of Dresden

I took this tour in early May. Karen was superb as our guide She covered Dresden's history going back to pre-Germanic days, its noteworthy kings and their interactions with neighboring states, its importance as a scientific center for more than a century, and the trauma experienced in WWII. Mixing history and living in Dresden since the 1990s, she brought a lot of insight as we walked through the historic center. She also raised interesting questions about Dresden's firebombing toward the end of the war, which I need to explore further. The group was diverse and small as advertised. I'm very glad there was still a spot for me, since I made my reservation at the last minute.

fantastic experience with Seema

i cannot say enough wonderful things about Seema. she was so communicative via email really promptly after my initial email request. she expressed genuine interest in making the private walking tour of Dresden as personal and impactful for me and my partner. she even did some extra research ahead of time regarding a family member’s time living in Dresden during WW2. this was an experience i will remember forever thanks to Seema. i would highly recommend doing a tour with Seema early on in your visit to Dresden so you have some knowledge about the city as you continue exploring it after your time with See My Dresden.

Laura provided a wonderful tour: engaging, enthusiastic and fun. Have been to Dresden a couple of times before, but only now - thanks to Laura - do I feel I know the city. There is so much history and so many details you can’t hope to discover without an expert guide. Laura also helped me take some beautiful photos. I will long remember this visit. Thank you, Laura!!

It was exciting for me to finally get to Dresden 3 years after first planning my visit there cancelled by the pandemic. I met with Seema at the famous seated statue and we walked up some steps to get a fine panoranic of the river and the various buildings that flank it. Seema's own story is a great one and her passion for Dresden is evident in her description of the historic events that have shaped the city , relayed as we walk around the landmarks. I learned a great deal and left eager to learn more! I would recommend Seema as a guide for anyone wishing to learn of Dresden's story.

We were looking for a private walking tour in Dresden, and we were referred to Seema. Unfortunately she was not able to guide us as she was away, but Wolfgang, guided us in her place, and it was a really excellent morning. Wolfgang was extremely knowledgeable about both Dresden and 20th century history. He was also very patient, and carefully curated the tour to fit in with our needs. If you are looking for a private tailor-made walking tour of Dresden, I would definitely use Seema & Wolfgang. They were both excellent and thoroughly professional.

Together with the whole family we had the pleasure of being guided around Dresden by Seema. She is extraordinarily knowledgeable and could answer well our (often very specific) questions. The combination of her stories and old pictures of Dresden gave us a richer picture of the time of the Third Reich and how the regime functioned and it’s consequences. Especially interesting was Seema’s analysis of the psychological aspects of the political regime and how it came into power. Our group consisted of both youth and adults, and all got something valuable out of the experience. Thank you Seema!

Laura guided the tour I attended. She was enthusiastic, funny and offered interesting stories and insights. When a couple didn't show up, she was concerned and asked if we'd mind waiting for a bit. She assured us she'd add time to the end of the tour. I appreciated her concern for the couple and her thoughtfulness towards the rest of us. It was a great tour and for an extremely reasonable price. The tour starts at the square near the bridge, and I highly recommend it.

I had the absolute best tour with Laura learning the full history of Dresden. She was knowledgeable on everything from medieval jousting to post-Soviet reconstruction. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable, she was a ton of fun and loved being interrupted with questions! Laura clearly loves and enjoys the city and it was a pleasure to share the afternoon with her. I’m only disappointed I’m not here longer to try some of their other tours. As a bonus, Seema messaged me some sights to check out on my free morning based on my interests. This tour was a highlight of the trip!

The best way to get to know Dresden

See My Dresden deserves top honors! Seema is a fantastically knowledgeable and incredibly insightful tour guide. Though some guides may have spent more time living in Saxony, I consider it a bonus to view both the beauty and tragedy evident throughout Dresden, as filtered through the experience of someone who came to the city later in life. Certainly she shows the key sights (the Zwinger, the castle, the opera, the Brühlsche Terrasse) and discusses what makes them special. But what sets Seema apart is her background in psychology. She can quickly read the mood and interests of her clients, and tailor the style and pace of her tour accordingly. For our group of international visitors, she provided a unique balance of humor, pathos, facts and trivia. She encouraged questions and answered them adeptly. In short - Even as someone who has lived in Dresden for years, I learned new things, and enjoyed myself immensely. In fact, I'm excited to take another tour with her - and try one of her "Psychology writes History" walks soon!

Review

Seema’s name was suggested to me by my colleagues at the Robert Bosch Foundation. They had a Dresden walk with her and were highly impressed. I had planned the walk for a group of 8 visiting Indian journalists and had requested Seema to mix up the walk with not just information about touristic attractions but also with an extended insight into the history of Dresden during the second world war and also during the times of the German Democratic Republic. She planned the walk exceptionally well. Being an Indian herself who moved to Germany only a few years ago, it was very interesting to see how she had come to call Dresden her home - a city which has been in the news of late usually for all the wrong reasons. She kept the group engaged with very interesting narratives, connecting the dots of Dresden's history with the larger historical context and left us asking for more. A walk which was planned for 3 hours went on for more than 5 hours. :) For anyone interested in history and culture of Dresden, Seema is your person.

Wonderful tour!

This was our first tour of this type in Europe and we couldn’t be happier with this company and particularly with Seema! She was so welcoming to our family of 5 and was amazing with the kids - including them throughout the tour! She was patient and helpful - but her knowledge of both the history of Dresden and the Psychology of Hitler was beyond our expectations! Seema gave us an experience that we will remember forever! Thank you!!

Great tour - WW2

We were lucky enough to be able to book a 4 hour private tour with Seema to show us as much historical WW2 history in dresden as possible. Without Seemas excellent knowledge we would never have managed to see as many sights and learn so many facts. Every question that we asked was answered with great detail, Seema clearly loves and understands the German history. Highly recommended

Best tour in Dresden

Did a really wonderful tour in Dresden a few days ago; one of the best tours I ever did! I combined two tours by guide Seema: ‘Psychology writes history’ part ! and part II. The tours are about the rise and fall of the Nazi regime (part I) and the rise/fall of the Communists (part II), two periods in Dresden’s recent history that are of critical importance. There are more tours offering information about this. But what makes the Seema tours special is the psychological perspective. She is a psychologist herself and knows a lot about e.g. what drives people, how people can be influenced, and personality disorders. So if you are wondering how Adolf Hitler grew up and became the person we all hate so much now, how it is possible that he got elected (in a free election) to lead the country, how the regime very systematically started to eliminate all opposition, how the regime suppressed and humiliated people who were different, what explains the hatred towards jews/Roma’s/communists/gays, how Hitler and Goebbels influenced in mass speeches various audiences in a highly sophisticated and successful way, then this tour is for you! The guide is highly knowledgeable, brings the right level of nuance, and puts things into perspective. She feels comfortable with interaction and discussion, which makes it even more interesting. I am not a novice on the subject, but must say that this tour tremendously increased my understanding for what happened here. My tour took 5.5 hours, and I did not get distracted or bored for one single second! The visit to the Stasi prison and interrogation rooms at the end of the tour is something that I will not easily forget either. Top marks for Seema! I can highly recommend her.

Magical History Tour

I have always believed that history is interesting and - what is more important - not something from the past but something relevant for today and tomorrow. When you look at history, it is not the "who" and "when" that matters but the "why". Seema's "Psychology writes History" tours just fit the bill. Don't get me wrong: She also knows her names and numbers but she is really great in digging much deeper and make you understand how things came into existence in the first place and what tools the key players applied to make them happen. I pride myself with a good knowledge of European history. But with Seema, I found answers to these questions I had always asked myself but also those I had known to even exist in my head. Truly magical!
