Amazing day at the Bastei Bridge and Dresden with our guide Ondra - The day trip with the family was fantastic from start to finish. Ondra our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. Although there was slight rain at the Bastei Bridge, the views were still great. The lunch was nice. The walking tour of Dresden was excellent. We took a lot of photos throughout the day. Thanks Ondra!

A wonderful experience - Our guide Michal Misiu was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He explained all aspects of the tour in depth and assisted with any language barriers that came about. The tour itself was full of beautiful scenery. My family and I enjoyed the entire experience.

Enchanting from start to finish - “Misu” - our guide. Wow. What a guide. Kept us informed with regular updates via a special WhatsApp group. Extremely knowledge but never rambled on - just kept to the key points and interesting facts. That’s my type of guide. Highly recommend this experience - National Park was breathtaking and Dresden slowly rising the ashes of her tragic past. Thoroughly enjoyable and we were well taken care of.

A great tour! - The views were so beautiful! I took many photos. I also enjoyed walking around Dresden City and learning the history of the city. Really like our guide Sam, he knows a lots of the history and the culture around the area. Surprisingly, he speaks Mandarin and has a good understanding of Chinese Culture. He also recommended a good local Chinese restaurant in Prague at the end of the tour!

One of the best tours of our trip - We visited Austria, Prague, and Budapest and went on at least six excursions. This was one of the best trips. Sam was organized, efficient, on time, and extremely pleasant. He was mindful of bathroom breaks and the heat index on that day; above all, lunch (included) was fantastic. His time management was superb. Despite having about 90 minutes of free time in Dresden, we were able to finish the tour on time. No one should miss it. His Van was very comfortable, and he was with us to tell history at every corner of the tour.

Germany from Prague - Sam was a great guide and driver. Organized the group very informally so that we knew where we needed to be when provided free time. Provided history of the sites and facilitated conversations between him self and the guests as well as encouraging guest to guest chatting as people were comfortable. Excellent guide and driver I would definitely recommend this trip to others interested in the sites
