Northern Hikes Prague/Germany - The hikes were amazing! We hiked 10 miles that day! Our first hike was a view of an arch that was very spectacular, very similar to the one in Utah. From there another hike to a quaint river and short boat ride, very peaceful. Finally, an amazing hike to the most unbelievable views you can imagine. If you’re afraid of heights, don’t do this last one. The views do not disappoint! Michal was a great guide!!

Great Day Trip - Petr was a great guide. He kept the trip interesting and had loads of history and information along the way. This goes for some of the random sites on the drive as well, not just the main scenic structures and highlights.

A great way to spend a day away from the city crowds while vacationing in Prague - This was a great day! There were 7 people in our van (4 different groups). We were given (mostly healthy) snack bags and bottled water right away.
Thomas explained what our day would entail while driving us to the National Park. We encountered rain during the day and ponchos were provided to anyone who wanted them. Since the rain was intermittent throughout the day, Thomas always took them in his backpack in case we needed them.
We were of varying degrees of fitness, age, and fears yet Thomas made sure we enjoyed each of our stops. He was encouraging and helpful, acting as our cheerleader and photographer.
We had lunch at a nice Czech restaurant, with something for everyone with recommendations from Thomas and it seemed like a very generous meal which included drinks.
This was a great way to spend a day, a break from the crowds and city sightseeing.
All correspondence from the tour company was clear, quick and full of information from the time the booking was made.. right up until we were picked up.
So glad I chose to do this!

Very solid hike! - Great hike and your. When it comes to fitness (and hiking), I’d give myself a B. That said, I was fine for most of it but would say that people were walking a bit too fast in the beginning.
This wasn’t only a fitness issue but it was very hot and I like to go at an average pace to soak it all in. It’s notable that this didn’t continue for the entire trip though.
The one complaint I have is the that the second leg was unnecessary. It wasn’t an easy hike and I couldn’t believe how short the boat ride was!! It literally was 10 mins.
But I’d recommend. If you can do a trip without the second leg, that might be best.
