Very Nice Day Trip to Dresden - We really enjoyed the day trip to Dresden from Prague. Ondrej is a great tour guide very friendly and very flexible in his tour programme. It was only me and my wife on the tour. Hence, he was very flexible with us in regards to the tour programme. I recommend this tour if you are staying in Prague for more than 3 days and would want to see another city close by.

The best trip ever!!! - Ondrej was our guide and everything was exceptional. All other tours are not as perfect as this one. Everything ran on time and we were very well looked after. Ondrej was very knowledgeable and accommodating to all of our needs. The markets were a must-see experience that were magical. Ondrej also runs additional tours upon request and was only too happy to help us with our questions and needs. He made our holiday very special. Thank you, Ondrej.

A Wonderful Excursion from Prague - We had a fantastic day with Ondrej driving us to Dresden and then guiding us through several places of interest. The beautiful Frauenkirche and timeline made of ceramic tiles are must sees. The Dresden Markets are not to be missed….absolutely beautiful. If you are fortunate to have Ondrej as a guide, you will find him friendly and very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history of Dresden but also the traditions and customs of Czech people. A truly wonderful day!

Stunning Excursion from Prague - We totally recommend taking this tour from Prague to Dresden. The guide Ondrej was not only an excellent driver, but also very knowledgeable about history and showed us many interesting sights along the way. We learned so much about Prague culture and customs by talking with Ondrej on the drive. The conversation was so interesting, the time passed in a flash! On reaching Dresden, Ondrej gave us a walking tour and then we were free to explore Dresden at our leisure. It was an absolute treat to visit the beautiful Christmas Markets in Dresden which are quite different to those we have seen in Prague. We visited 4 different Christmas Markets, each with a slightly different theme. The stalls were beautifully presented and sold high quality goods. Our favourite was Striezelmarkt which was apparently the first Christmas Market in Europe. We enjoyed seeing the countryside surrounding Prague, and escaping the crowds. It was a privilege to spend the day with local guide Ondrej.

A good visit to Dresden - A really good tour, Ondrej is a good guide, friendly and helpful. Dresden is an interesting city and the Christmas markets are wonderful. The drive was a pleasant one and the vehicle comfortable. I was travelling solo, but I enjoyed the company of my fellow travellers and Ondrej. All in all, a good day out.

Doing Xmas Markets… this is a must! - Dresden does have way more to offer than Xmas markets, but having done Vienna and Prague….we found the stalls here better and there’s a lot more depth and variety on offer than the other 2. Yes it is a longish drive but so worth it Ondrej was a great guide and driver and reached out the day before to organise the pick up. Very knowledgeable as well There’s a lot to see and do in Dresden and Prague is a great pivot point for this and similar day trips. Highly recommended
