Wonderful Tour to Saxon Switzerland and Dresden with Andres - This tour was wonderful. Andre is by far the best tour guide that we have ever had, far exceeded our expectations. We learned so much from Andre - about the history of the Czech Republic, about Prague and about Dresden. The hike in Saxon Switzerland to the Bastei Bridge was wonderful. The lunch was excellent. The visit to Dresden was very interesting and informative. We had a wonderful day - and it was primarily due to the Andre's professional demeanor and the wealth of information he provided. We highly recommend this tour - and Andre is excellent!

Saxon Switzerland + Dresden with Ondra - Ondra was a fantastic guide. We had a fa tasting tour. He was on time picking us up from our airbnb. He then took us to the Saxon Switzerland national park. It was quite busy, but he knew all the ins and outs of optimizing the tour in such a situation. He brought us to all the best photo opportunities and took great photos of us. We then went to Dresden where he provided an outstanding walking tour with lots of historical information before setting us loose for some free time in the city. During the drives he provided a lot of interesting historical information. Highly recommend this tour!

Great tour - Enjoyed going to the Bastei bridge. The weather was great and cool. It was a great chance to see this beautiful park and more of the countryside on the way to Dresden. Our guide was Vladimir and he did a great job. He worked hard to satisfy everyone on the van. Also, the food we had for lunch was wonderful. One of the best meals I have had on my trip. Highly recommend this tour and the lunch place.

Convivial and smart discovering ! - I had a delightful experience on this tour from Prague to Saxon Switzerland National Park and Dresden! Our guide Sam was absolutely wonderful, bringing the history of Dresden to life with vivid stories and expert knowledge. He also had a great sense of humor, keen to develop his jokes to amuse the participants, which was greatly appreciated. The selection of the restaurant for lunch was impeccable, offering delicious, fine salads and a great variety of local beers in a spacious and uncrowded setting. The professionalism of our guide truly stood out, making this combination of nature, culture, and history an unforgettable journey. Highly recommended!

Not to be missed - No 1 Sam our guide. He was spot on. Very conscious and patient with us being a bit slower going up and down the stairs when we were at the Basteii bridge which was absolutely a definite need to visit if in Prague. The scenery was spectacular. He took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch and being a perfect day weather wise we were able to sit outside. The food was delicious. Our tour of Dresden was informative and you got glimpses of what it must have been like before being nearly destroyed. Even Sam’s "jokes" gave us a laugh. A great day.

Great combination of nature and history - Great combonation of nature and history. Tour guide was very good, weather was great too. But, be aware, you can never know who will be with you on the tour... unfortunately not something you or tour operator can control, just keep it in mind...
