Review of a small-group day trip from Prague to Bastei Bridge, Bohemian Switzerland, Tisá Rocks, local Czech lunch, and optional hikes.

“One of our best experiences while in Prague. We came for the Christmas Markets but had no idea we could hike in a winter wonderland like no other. You don’t need to be an expert hiker but you will need to be a person who enjoys adventure. Marek was an excellent tour guide. He strapped on some ice spikes on our shoes and we started our adventure in a wintertime forest and mystical sandstone structures that you would think were only seen in Hollywood. Definitely worth the money. But bundle up in warm clothes. It is chilly. There are some stairs so you get a little exercise in.”

Explore Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland from Prague with Pravčická Gate, Kamenice Gorge, Bastei Bridge, lunch, and guided transport.

“The trip packed in 3 different beautiful nature sites-the first was a lovely hike to see the second largest natural arch bridge in the world. The second was a shorter trip to see beautiful rock formations-a scenic stone bridge with views of rock formations and the river Elbe. The third place was a short drive to an exquisite and breath taking snowy wonderland with ice crystals on the tree and rock formations you could climb around-Narnia winter scenes filmed there. And I had a great lunch with delicious fish and vegetables-other choices available. Our guide, Andre was happy, energetic, gave a lively and informative talk in the car. He also…”

“This was one of the major highlights of our trip! We had the pleasure of Andy (Ondra) as our driver and Adam as our guide. The information presented ahead of time was superb and we felt very comfortable that we knew what we needed to bring and what was going to happen. The pickup was punctual, comfortable, and Ondra was great to have conversation with. All of the stops were absolutely amazing, and it was a beautiful day out of the city. We did the Hiking Tour, and it was the perfect amount of hike versus riding around. The lunch stop was also terrific and the trip overall was just…”

Our guide Alex was very nice and attentive.”

Review of Prague’s Elbe Canyon and Narnia locations day trip, with Tisa Rocks, Bastei Bridge, lunch, border crossing, and hiking advice.

“I booked this trip from home as it was highly recommended and we weren't disappointed, although the weather wasn't very kind to us it rained most of the day. We really did enjoy the 2km walk beside the River up to where you hopped on a little boat and went further up seeing some wonderful sights it did look spectacular in the mist. We then continued to where the Elbe sandstone mountains were but the rain and mist did stop us from seeing afar. Our guide was excellent he looked after us very well, supplying us with more rain coats Food was excellent would highly recommend.”

“This was arguably one of the best tours of our entire trip - and we did about eight tours. It is a long day, but a great day. Two hikes - first one moderate difficulty (at least in winter) and the second was light - may not even consider it a hike. We went to two national parks - one totally in Czechia, the other across the border in Germany. In betweem we had a fantastic lunch at a local spot in the sandstone mountains. Marek was our guide and he was fantastic - making sure everyone was okay, providing spikes for boots if needed, and being a great photographer!…”
