5.00I had an extra day in Prague, I booked this tour last minute and I'm so glad I did!! Our guide, Ondrej, was fantastic and so knowledgeable. He made sure we saw all the best sights with plenty of time to explore on our own afterwards. The hike to Bastei Bridge was very relaxing, not too long, and not too challenging (definitely accessible for people who do not often hike). The views of the rock formations, mountains, valleys, river, and the village below were breathtaking. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip, and a nice change of pace after visiting multiple busy capital cities. The afternoon visit to Pirna and Dresden was lovely! Pirna looks straight from a story book, and the included lunch at a local restaurant was the best meal I've eaten across the 7 countries on my trip. Dresden is a lovely city with lots of historical architecture, easily walkable, with few tourists which makes it much more relaxing to explore. It offers a more classic experience of Germany compared to modern industrial cities like Berlin. The weekly spring market was also open on the day of our visit, which was a very nice end to the day. I highly recommend this tour! Amazing value for the cost, the perfect mix of nature, history, and city culture, and a great way to add one more country to your trip!
This is the best way to scenery and a Dresden Overview

5.00Jules was a fantastic guide from start to finish. We were provided multiple waters and snacks for our 2 hour ride with a bathroom stop after an hour. Our first stop was the Saxon Switzerland National park where we saw sandstone hoodoos (think Arches National Park in Utah ) We hiked to viewing spots of the old castle and the gorgeous stone bridge. Breathtaking! Our next stop was at Babushkas Restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious lunch and drinks. I had the goulash and my husband had the sirloin, both were excellent. If you are really hungry get the schnitzel! Then it was on to Dresden where in an hour walking tour Jules showed us the highlights of the city and answered all our questions. What a gorgeous city. We had about an hour and twenty minutes free time after the tour to see what we wanted at our own pace. The Fruhling Markt was going on and that was fun. This was a great tour and a wonderful way to see Dresden !
A trip full of great memories and food.

5.00Ondrej was a great guide! The Bridge is beautiful and this trip is a great way to get to the park without having to worry about transportation. The walk is pretty easy, though there are some steps, some of which are steep/narrow. Ondrej explained the history of the area and the fortress and took some photos of us. Visiting on a Tuesday morning beat most of the crowds. Lunch in Pirna was very good and I had a little time before the restaurant opened to walk around the town and get some photos. After lunch, Ondrej took us on a walking tour of the historical part of Dresden. They have a "Christmas" village up most of the year which was cool. I could have spent much longer at both locations, but this day trip is a great way to get a taste of the national park and of Dresden if you're staying in Prague. I hope to go back to both locations and spend more time exploring!
Very enjoyable
