Great experience - Tour around Mostecko region with our guide Martin was really amazing. Martin told us a lot of interesting historical facts and insights about the area, local industrial facilities and coal mines. When you add the exciting off-road rides, this makes the perfect combination for the trip I would definitely recommend.

Thrilling and informative adventure: České Středohoří and back - The trip was an exhilarating adventure through terrains and breathtaking landscapes. The skilled guides ensured a safe and informative journey, sharing insights about the local history and facts about the area. The fact that you travel in an authentic Nissan SUV makes the trip a whole lot more enjoyable. Martin an Linda were exceptional, as always and it was a pleasure to spend the day with them, once again. Overall, it's a must-try for adventure enthusiasts looking to explore the scenery, history of České Středohoří and take a little something with you home. You visit peaks and valleys, get to know local history and you can pet and feed goats and cows on a local farm as well. Overall very memorable experience for those who want to see local countryside from a different perspective. Fully recommend 5/5!!!

Great day in the Czech countryside - I can fully recommend this amazing trip with Offroadsafari troughout the Czech Bohemian Uplands. Martin, our guide, was really friendly, experienced and provides us with many interesting facts about history, geology and products of this area. In the morning we could visit truly nice places, enjoy stunning views from the hill, learn a lot about the Czech history and geology as well. After lunch, where we tried local specialties and tasted the local czech beer, we also visited the goat farm with the cute animals and tasted local cheese. Can you wish for more in one day? We are really happy with our choice.

Must visit - From beginning to end, Martin and his team were extremely helpful, and accommodating, ensuring we had a great day out while still seeing to each individual's needs. Martin was extremely knowledgeable about everything around the area, spanning from history to geology, to fauna etc etc. We first went to the hills for some great views, then went garnet panning which was unexpected yet an interesting experience in itself. Lunch was amazing and then we continued to the goat farm which was a sweet end to the day. It was a good way to visit the czech countryside without too much walking, something you do a lot of while exploring prague, and thus a good way to relax while still sight-seeing :) If you're looking for something different, I definitely recommend this tour.

Wonderful Experience - The offroad safari was a wonderful day in the country side of Czechoslovakia. Martin, our guide, was amazing in his knowledge and was most informative about all aspects of life in Czechoslovakia, it's history, natural resources and people. He was like having Google along to answer any and every question. We enjoyed seeing the sites - the mountains, the volcanoes, the local people, as well as dining in a local restaurant. Stopping in a small local grocery store to get apples for the farm animals provided another chance to get a real feel for the people in the area. The lunch in a country was wonderful and the trip culminated with a real farm experience, where we got up close with the goats, pigs and the cows. If it fit's in your budget and your time schedule I would totally recommend this trip as a welcome change from the city tours.

Amazing experience! - We tried offroad safari trip during our 5 days trip in Czech republic, because we wanted to see something other than just ocassional sightseeings in Prague. We saw many amazing places and the guide provided us with information from history and facts associated with mámy places. If you want to see other face of Czech republic, offroad Safari is the right choice.

Amazing experience - The tour was beyond our expectations! Martin and Jirka are truly passionate and professional guides. They were both born and live in the area and you could easy tell that they simply love this countryside and know every stone or tree there. That's why the tour is literally full of amazing yet hidden places and completed with very interesting commentary. The tour is also very well organised and the guides took care about every detail. We were tired with all the tourist traps and crowded places, but this tour is really refreshing and was definately worth it.

Extraordinary and fascinating - Never had I imagined this part of the Czech Republic can be so beautiful. Thanks to Martin and Jirka we've discovered absolutely stunning nature accompanied by their excellent knowledge of historical and cultural background of the area. Just the right amount of adrenalin when driving in off-road cars was a cherry on top! Totally recommended!

Czech Countryside Off-Road Vehicle Tour: Volcanoes, Rana Mountain and Goat Farm Visit - Exceptionaly unforgettable expedition with 4x4 off-road cars through the beautiful winter landscape of the Ceske Stredohori. Borec hill, a mysterious smoking mountain, a number of volcanoes, many romantic medieval ruins of gothic castles. Crossing points with distant outlooks... In addition to this - the most famous Czech paragliding mountain Rana and in the end a visit to a goat farm with tasting of local homemade cheese and feeding the animals - and first newborn cubs, which impressed all participants of the tour. Enthusiastic guides and offroad drivers from Offroad Safari took care of the success of the whole expedition. An unusual experience that pulls man out of the gray of everyday days that it not easy to forget.
