Top Prague Day Trips - page 7

This was amazing! We loved the option of being picked up at our apartment. It made it so much easier. And then we had enjoyable rides in a comfortable van to our destinations. This was so much better than getting on a giant bus with a huge group of people. We were taken to the most amazing places! It is definitely worth doing. Our guide helped to make this tour extra enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable about what we were seeing and gave us so much history of the area. And the best part was, he really looked like he was enjoying his day as much as we were. And lunch was delicious! I would say that this is something you should not miss if you are visiting this area! It was amazing!

This was a great tour! Hearing the stories of a communist Czechslovakia from a person who grew up and lived a good portion of his life under that regime was eye opening. Seeing the inside of the bunker was creepy and surreal but also extremely interesting. This was one of our favorite tours during our 3 weeks in Europe. If I return to Prague I'd probably take the tour a second time. I will say if you're pro-socialiam, you might walk away with some hurt feelings.

Had a fantastic time on this day trip to Bohemian Switzerland. We were picked up and dropped off at our accommodation which was super convenient. Our tour guide Marko was really friendly, considerate, and informative. The drive to the park took about 1 hour and 45 minutes. The first hike was to Pravcicka Brana, which took perhaps an hour to go up and then another hour to come down. The walk was not too bad, a moderate incline for most of the way, with some steep steps right at the top. The views were amazing! Then we went for lunch at a very nice restaurant in the village, which had vegetarian (fried Gouda cheese) and vegan (mushroom risotto) options- the food was quite good. The second hike was down to the gorge to have a boat ride. Going down was not too bad and took about 20 minutes. The boat ride was about 20 minutes and the views of the river and valley were amazing. Going back up was a bit more tricky, quite steep, took just over half an hour. Marko was very patient, offered us extra water when we needed it, and kept us company as we climbed the stairs. The third part of the day was to see the Bastei Bridge which is in the German part of the National Park. There was not much walking to do here. We just walked onto the bridge and Marko also showed us another spot where we could get a nice view of the bridge from afar. We then went home, arriving around 8pm. Although it was a long day, it was absolutely worth it for the opportunity to see the national park and enjoy the views. Marko was an excellent guide and really made the whole day go smoothly. Would recommend to anyone visiting Prague.
