Top Prague Day Trips - page 4

Very beautiful scenic spot. Though already in Jun still not too hot. And it's an easy walk. Lenka, our guide, was so nice and made sure the pace was suitable for everyone. She also prepared so much we had more than enough water, drinks, snacks, everything.

Great full day excursion that gives you a nice overview of the Saxony region of Germany. I was promptly picked up around 7:45 am. Warren was a great guide. He provided snacks and also brought umbrellas for us to use just in case. After driving about an hour was stopped at a gas station for bathroom/coffee and then after another hour of driving we arrived in Dresden. Dresden is definitely worth seeing but its rather small city center makes it ideal for an excursion like this as opposed to staying there overnight. Warren gave us a roughly 1 hour long walking tour of the city and then gave us around 90 minutes to explore at our own pace. I would have liked a little more free roam time here but overall this was a nice stop and Dresden is worth visiting. After Dresden we had lunch at a restaurant in Pirna, a smaller Saxon town about 20 minutes outside of Dresden. The restaurant was quite good and I liked how we were able to place our food orders on our way there to make everything more time efficient. We briefly checked out the cute city center of Pirna before heading over to the Bastei Bridge. It took 20-30 minutes to get to Bastei Bridge from Pirna. Warren gave us a nice tour and background of the bridge. He took us to multiple viewpoints which provide amazing views of the bridge and the mountains. This is a beautiful national park and the bridge connecting the rocks is very cool - definitely worth seeing. Overall we spent probably 90 minutes at the national park/bridge. After that we returned to Prague. Again, the drive took about two hours and we stopped at a gas station around halfway there to use the bathroom and get snacks/coffee. We made it back to Prague around 5:30 PM. Overall I appreciated the variety of this excursion - big city (Dresden), local food, small town (Pirna), and then nature and history with the bridge and national park. I would definitely recommend this excursion.

Martina was a wonderful guide. Knowledgeable, friendly and kind. We had a. rain storm and she kept her group together and was so considerate of those who were ill prepared for the weather. I loved her historical stories and she kept everyone of all ages engaged.
