Great tour to see Germany and the Rock formation if you like nature. Dresden was magic and I wish we spend more time there. That deserves a whole day tour to be able to enter museums or simple enjoy seating outside. Our guide was friendly and kind. We had multiple bathroom stops and as needed. The car ride felt safe and comfortable.

Quick trip from Prague. It combines city sightseeing with nature immersion. I was concerned that the hike to the Bastei Bridge would be too difficult for elderly people, but my mother managed very well. There were maybe 100 steps to navigate up and down. It was raining and cold, but we found out this was a good thing, because the weather kept people away. Apparently the bridge is usually swamped with visitors. There weren’t many steps in Dresden, but a fair amount of walking and not many places to sit. Also, a bit windy along the river. Otherwise, impressive architecture! Many Dresden buildings were destroyed in a 1945 bombing, but they are slowly-slowly being reconstructed. We did not have time to visit any museums, but we thoroughly enjoyed the urban spaces. Our guide Stepan was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Filip was very respectful, kind and knew so much about the history needed for this tour. With the private tour you have the ability to go at your own pace and visit the shops you want. Highly recommend doing a private tour with Filip!
Great Tour Guide!

This "private" tour is actually a small group tour (3 parties totalling 7 people). But notwithstanding this disappointment, this was a thoroughly enjoyable excursion. Old town Dresdan was beautiful. The Saxony Switzerland National Park and Basstei Bridge were impressive. Our guide Stepan was knowledgeable and attentive. This tour was a great addition to our visit to Prague.
It's worth it

This is such a lovely way to experience Dresden from Prague. We had a small group of just 4, which made things easy. Our guide, Patrek was wonderful and courteous. The weather in the morning wasn't cooperating so he swapped the order of our trip and it turned out so well. We got to experience Dresden and have a little extra time for lunch and by the time we got to Bastei all the crowds had cleared and so had the sky. He took photos for all of us and got us quickly back to Prague. The trip there and back is just under 2 hours. You can take advantage of the views or get in a quick nap.
