Extraordinary hiking experience - This is a great tour if you like hiking. The scenery is amazing and stunning when you are up on the mountain. The hike down to the gorge and the boat ride was an extraordinary experience. Our tour guide Honza is very knowledgeable and helpful. A word of advice, you need to be fit enough to endure over one hour of uphill hikes and back. The climb from the gorge is quite hard and might not be enjoyable to those that are unfit. But overall, we had a great time and I think it is quite worth the price.

Swiss Saxon and Bohemian Tour - The excursion was wonderful, we organized it with civitatis and the super friendly staff, very attentive and polite, requires good physical condition, many climbs but spectacular views, the best excursion in years throughout Europe that I have done, advisable 100x100.

Already suggesting this to all my friends!! - Amazing tour!! Would definitely do that again : ) Shout out to both drivers and guides who were super friendly, funny and did their job at its best! The description is on top. Everything mentioned was provided and fully informing pf what to expect. It is a HIKING tour - please ensure you understand that. There ate both good paths and rough ones, downhills and uphills. It is not a massive hike but for it is definitely not for everyone. The views you get thought are 100% worth it. Also, do check the weather beforehand, wear layers and hooded waterproof jackets (do not take umbrellas, it is windy up there and they are useless). Water bottles are provided by the drivers, and some snack - but if you get hungry easily, they also stop for coffee and food on the way. Again, definitely recommend : )

Amazing Experience - I had an amazing day trip from Prague to Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland with a small group, led by our fantastic guide, Honza. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, sharing interesting insights about the region throughout the day. The highlights were hiking to the breathtaking Pravčická Gate and visiting the Bastei Bridge in Saxon Switzerland, both offering incredible views. Honza made sure we had a comfortable pace and plenty of time to take it all in. The small group setting made the experience feel personal and relaxed, like an adventure with friends. Highly recommend this tour for nature lovers and anyone looking for a well-organized, intimate trip!

Wonderful trip! - Amazing trip! Our guide and driver were excellent and were very knowledgable about the area and the history. Highly recommend this trip if you are staying in Prague. The Czech lunch was great as well. Only note I have is that the hike is no joke. We had a couple that decided to not attempt the second hike of the day. I highly suggest wearing good all terrain shoes as you are walking over rocks and if it rains could be muddy. The second hike is long and uphill and third hike is not as long but very steep coming back. Would not recommend if you have any physical limitations and if your cardio is not up to par. It was definitely a challenge if you are not used to hiking hills. The views were worth it though! Boat ride was nice way to end it. All in all 5 stars would do it again, but my legs need the rest ;)

Beautiful but disappointing tour - I have mixed feelings about this tour. On the good side, I got to visit some stunning areas, the tour went smoothly, and the tour guide was friendly. However, I also found myself disappointed.  Part of the reason I picked this tour was that it was listed as "most travelers can participate"; however, I found that to be a generous assessment. In particular, the hike from the boat ride is straight up stairs along a gorge. While I was able to reasonably complete the hike, I was not the only one on the tour to feel physically pushed. Additionally, I found that hike to be the least interesting of the three and could have been skipped. The tour guide was very friendly and was working hard, but it was clear he was not well trained and had little more than basic info to provide about the destinations. I don't think this was his fault and instead the training. My tour was originally scheduled on a day that ended up raining. I reached out and was told that rain makes "no impact" on the tour and recommended that I bring a poncho/umbrella. I was thankfully able to change to a different date, and glad I did since I couldn't imagine doing these hikes in the rain. If you're primarily looking for a tour to take you to the beautiful destinations, this was perfectly fine. But if you want more out of a tour, I wouldn't recommend.

Difficult climbing for an Easy hike. - I was disappointed in the type of hiking involved. I (along with most others) did not expect this strenuous of climbs based on reading the description. The part of trip in the gorge was not worth the effort it took to get to it. Based on reading the excursion description I expected much more than 15 min boat ride. Our guide was great, very knowledgeable and interesting.
