Danilo was a very charismatic tour guide, with extensive knowledge of the city and Kurt Vonnegut. It's clear that this is something that he is passionate about and this comes across in the tour. This tour is worth detouring through Dresden for if you are in the area or if you're a Kurt Vonnegut fan.

I am a huge fan of Slaughterhouse Five, and so when I heard about this tour I was determined to do it.

He is extremely...

My partner and I both love Kurt Vonnegut's book, Slaughterhouse Five and decided to travel to Dresden just to see where it took place.
After doing hours of searching on the internet, I discovered that a small hostel had just set up a walking tour that actually goes into the slaughterhouse complex, which is now protected from development. You may...
