5.00While the listing states gentle hikes, it was quite strenuous for me (55 yr old) but Martin was a dream. He offered me alternative routes so I didn’t hold up the group and still enjoy everything on the hike. Highly recommend.
A wonderful experience

5.00This was a fantastic day trip. Our guide, Adam was well-informed, easy-going, and helpful. The Bastei Bridge is chock full of romantic viewpoints. Lunch was hearty and delicious. The hike through sandstone rock formations was even better. Adam brought cleats to help us negotiate the ice and enjoy the strange rocks and the views from the mesa top. Oh, Adam was an excellent driver, too. Highly recommended.
Definitely worth the visit- must see part of this country

Amazing Time

5.00This was a wonderful trip from start to finish. Our tour guide Tereza was very insightful and really made the whole day a lot of fun. Bastei Bridge was incredible. The whole area reminded me of a smaller version of Grand Canyon with way more trees. Our tour was in mid October and the leaves were starting to change color so walking there and back (short walk) to the van was very pretty. The lunch was decent and the restaurant was very authentic German. Dresden is beautiful and total eye candy to walk around in. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history and other facts. I would totally recommend this tour.
Our day trip to Switzerland, not really 😉

5.00This was a fantastic day trip! Our guide picked us up bright and early. We only had to share the van with one other couple. It was a comfortable ride with water and snacks within reach and readily available. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. He shared so much of the history and general knowledge with us about each location. It was thoroughly enjoyable. He was great at keeping us on time from location to location. He made himself available for picture-taking, answering questions and lent a helping hand when needed. This was a great experience.

Fun and Informative Trip outside Prague

5.00Excellent and fun experience. We were picked up in front of our hotel by Monika, who was an expert driver. We met up with the other van (there were thirteen people all together on this trip) at a gas station near the German border. We met Josef, our guide, there. Josef was wonderful in explaining the history, some anecdotes, and even about any flora and fauna we came across. The whole trip was fun and interesting but you definitely have to be in shape for the walk up to the sandstone arch, the descent was ok until the last bit and it was steep with steps but worth it. The other two sites we went to were much easier to navigate. There is lunch provided with the tour and it was delicious and served in a small B&B in a tiny village by the park. Unfortunately, for us, the weather was somewhat uncooperative with wind and rain but we were still able to get decent pictures despite that. All in all, I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants a break from the city and see some of the charming Czech countryside!
Climbing to wonders in the National Parks of Germany and the Czech Republic

5.00This was a wonderful experience. After cruising the Danube and seeing many cities, beautiful but crowded this was an amazing experience in nature. The views promised were excellent. And our guide, Barbara was knowledgeable, energetic, and very considerate of the varying levels of activity and the impact on the varying participants. I would highly recommend this tour and the opportunity to see both national parks in Germany and Czech Republic.
