Worth every penny!!! Amazing tour!! - The guide Michal was just so wonderful and really prepared for any case (he provided us with show spikes so we dont slip on the ice and others with gloves) Michal picked up everyone on time at 8am from their hotel and immediately gave each one a bag with water and snacks. We rode for over an hour and then hiked up a bit to view the rock formations and walked around them, amazing beautiful sight. Then we sat down for an included lunch and beer which was also very good in the local resturant. Next location we rode across the German border to the Saxon Switzerland national park and saw the bridge and amazing views. We were dropped off at around 16:30 which was even earlier than expected so we had plenty of time left to continue enjoying prague :) This is truly worth every penny!!!

Worth Every Penny!! - What an amazing experience! Definitely a highlight of the trip to Prague. Our day trip to Bohemian Switzerland National Park included a hike where Narnia was filmed, and an enchanting sightseeing spot on the border of Germany. Going in off-season (November) was great because we were practically the only ones hiking. It was cold (dress for snow), but the colors were beautiful, and it started snowed just as we finished the hike. We got lucky with the weather, but it was truly magical. Lenka, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and we felt really cared for. She brought car snacks, gave us hot tea and mulled wine on our hike, and took us to a charming restaurant for lunch. It was a great winter activity!

Spectacular location - So having done the same sites tour the day before with another tour company that changed their itinerary for Pravcicka Gate to Tisa rocks hours before that tour started... I was not too thrilled with redoing this tour again with another company but I was already committed and paid. However, I mentioned to the guide what had happened with the other company with what they did. The female guide consoled me and said that she would do her best to make this one even better... which she did! We went to the Bastei bridge first where it was a bit foggy to start but them cleared up to a nice sunny morning. The Bastei bridge area has some spectacular drop-offs - very scenic and picture postcard worthy! Then off to Tisa Rocks from a different approach than the other tour i.e. not up from Refugio along-side a cemetery but from the side from Turistická chata Tisá restaurant in the same area. This tour guide was very patient knowing that some of us are older and take a little more time climbing - where other company tour guide was hurrying everyone. This was very foggy in the afternoon, so the day before arriving in the morning was better as it was clear. But not that much to see other than the drop-off. Anyway, this tour and guide were very nice and considerate.

Fantastic - Cannot recommend this enough. Every detail has been well thought out, from comfortable transportation, an interesting itinerary, good communication prior to the tour, and a great lunch restaurant. Our guides, Pavla and Martin, were welcoming and informative. The hiking spots are beautiful and the pace was just right to enjoy the scenery without taking too long. It was great to step away from the bustle of Prague and enjoy these natural wonders without sweating the logistics myself. A well-deserved 5 stars for sure.

Natural beauty at its best - We had a great experience! Lenjka, our tour guide from Northern Hikes picked us up sharp on time at the hotel. We saw two locations, the Bastei and Tisa Rocks. Both are marvelous natural formations and beautiful. It was raining partly when we went. The hike at the Tisa rocks makes for a special mention. Lenjka herded us carefully through the snow. The scenery was breathtaking. Totally recommend this.

DO IT - This was so amazing! Pavla was amazing and I had a nice relaxing day with some beautiful views. I came to Prague in a group of friends but I did this tour alone needing some time in nature. Definitely did the job!! The views are breathtaking and the walk was leisurely. Definitely chilly but nonetheless worth it (if you come prepared)… Would do again!
