4.00Our tour guide Mira was such a nice person. It was a wonderful trip. Especially, the fun game in the Trecny forest, of identifying shapes from the the sandstone rocks was fun. The drive was good, very safe, very smooth.
wonderful!

4.00Beautiful scenery, but the hiking part was quite challenging at some parts with steep steps, uneven rocks. The tour was well managed and hotel pick up is definitely needed because you will be so exhausted after full day hiking.
Great exercise and scenic views!

5.00A nice change from exploring the cities. Our tour of 8 started in Dresden, and we met another group from Prague at the first stop. Our total tour size was about 16 people, and our tour guide was excellent. The first stop was at a park with restroom facilities; it was a nice easy walk with beautiful views. The second stop was at a rural trail where you hike uphill on a sandy uneven path to view the arch, much more challenging than the first stop, no facilities until you reach the top where there are bathrooms and a little restaurant. After coming back down we went to lunch, it was delicious and included a meal and a drink. I had the venison, and it was very good. The third stop was the boat tour where you hike down a switchback trail to a gorge where the boat tour is. It was very pretty but after the first two stops our legs were getting tired. The walk back up the steep hill was challenging with tired legs. In my opinion, I think the tour could have ended after lunch and it would not have changed the experience. Overall, we really liked the tour, it was a wonderful change of pace from touring city streets and museums, and we would highly recommend it. This tour is not for out those who are unsteady on their feet, people with recent surgery or those who are not in decent physical condition. Wear good sneakers or hiking shoes and layers.
Great tour

4.00Mira, our guide and driver, did a great job. However, the hike would have been much easier if the company had provided hiking sticks, even if it was for a fee. It had rained the day before, so some sections were slippery, so my husband and I had to be careful. It was a blessing that we didn't slip or get hurt. I heard that similar tour programs provide hiking sticks. Keep up the good work 👏
Exciting hiking all day.

5.00Being in Dresden and not visiting Saxon Switzerland, which is our Saxon Switzerland, well, that's outrageous at all. So, despite the incomprehensible weather forecasts, we did go to the scene. C. Switzerland met us with a boring rain, almost barely, and by nature you can not walk, we tried from the other side and, miraculously, the rain stopped, encouraged by this sign from above, went to storm the mountain range. HPT and I have built a medium-difficult route and we're on our way. Karoch, we've trampled eight kilometers, up 200 meters and down as much, personally, I've learned through pain about some muscles I didn't know existed before. And if from the lyrics to the facts, the park of awesome beauty - rocks, a lake, waterfalls, almost like real, gorges and steps up, steps down, steps in all directions. For practical information, park better at Kurort Rathen. Here are some pictures for the grub. If you haven't been there yet, go ahead and don't regret it.
Well organised professional and nice.

5.00Viator does not make it clear that this is a day of hiking. I absolutely loved it but fortunately am relatively fit. My guide Yvette and the driver (apologies I don’t know her name) were fantastic. Highly recommend to those seeking a hiking experience in these magnificent mountains
Don’t miss this!

5.00The views were amazing. We had perfect weather for the hiking and exploring. Our driver, Daniel was very sweet and attentive to our needs. Elli, our tour guide was wonderful. She answered our questions and was very informative about the areas we saw. Lunch was delicious! Goulash, potato dumplings, and Schnitzel can’t be beat. Would do this again.
