Thomas was the most engaging and knowledgeable tour guide we have ever worked with. We have done several around the world trips with private tours through Viatour and he is the best guide we have ever had. It was a very cold windy day, he noticed my chills and took out a blanket to make a shawl and gave me a brand new pair of his gloves! You will enjoy him, learn a lot and see things that are not listed as part of the tour

<p>Thomas our guide was absolutely superb! Energetic, deeply insightful, with a great sense of humor to keep everyone engaged and entertained. The day flew by! Porcelain factory and hilltop historical area at Meissen, walking tour of numerous sites in Dresden...from start to finish it was a tremendous experience. Left with a broad understanding of the important roles these two locales played in history. Quality of tour and guide top notch. Would definitely book a tour again if returning to Berlin. And, I'd ask for Thomas!</p>
